If an ordinary statute were passed against these evils, no jury, the king thought, would have the courage to convict. Henry there- fore constituted a new court of the chancellor, the treasurer, and a few other high officials. This tribunal was to deal summarily with all nobles who affected a state beyond what seemed to the king safe and fitting for a subject. John, Earl of Oxford, had entertained the sovereign at his house, and had exhibited two rows of retainers, wearing the Vere badge. The se...quel is familiar enough. Henry thanked his host for his hospitality, but, drily adding "he could not have his laws broken in his sight, " delivered Oxford to the tribunal he had just created. The position of the Peers throughout the whole of the Tudor period presents a humiliating contrast to the national authority they had exercised under the Plantagenets. Henry VIII.
