How did English kings increase their power and reduce power of nobles?

In France, under Francis I (1515-1547), the power of the monarch was reinforced. Nobles lost some of their privileges of local jurisdiction to the royal courts. Appointment of royal officials in the Church (which was permitted after the Concordat of Bologna of 1516), also undermined the power of the nobility, as many more royal officials took the best positions and enforced the royal will in provinces more than before.
