The modern assessment of Henry VII's use of bonds and recognizances to control the behaviour of his subjects is based upon incomplete evidence. This article focuses on new material from The National Archives of the U.K. to begin an analysis of the early Tudor deployment of bonds to address disloyalty and conspiracy. Memoranda of bonds agreed in chancery indicate that Henry VII quickly adopted such tools of enforcement to confront the backlash against his own usurpation in 1485. The success of these measures in keeping King Henry on the throne during his deepest crises helps to explain their more familiar use as instruments of policy after 1500
