Court politics was to some degree factional during Edward VI's reign (1547–53), but the danger of this happening on a wide scale in the counties was recognized. The dukes of Somerset and Northumberland could not afford to alienate the nobility and gentry by monopolizing local offices. Therefore, they built working relationships between centre and localities through the judicious use of patronage, including expanding the commissions of the peace. Maintaining goodwill and effective lines of communication was vital to crown-county relations and the office of lord lieutenant (established from 1548) was critical. It was political failure, not faction, that brought down Somerset's and Northumberland's regimes
