He was unpopular with his subjects as he took a lot of money away from the people of England. His Tax Collectors, Empson and Dudley were also unpopular due to their tactics of getting more money. All were greedy. Only after Henry VII died in 1509, his son, Henry VIII executed Empson and Dudley which made the people of England happy again.
