Imposing The Authority Of The English Crown

• Traditionally crown kept control by 'divide and rule' but Wentworth insisted all 3 groups should be subverted to the crown
• Wentworth used trusted advisors. E.g. Phillip Mainharing George Radcliffe
• Suppressed critics and attacked opponents. E.g. Sir Piers Crosby and Lord Mountnorris. Intimidated opponents in Irish council in Dublin
• Successful but alienated political classes causing political factions to unite and damaged long-term relations with New English
