Henry VIII.'s reign the judges of the court had ceased to be privy councillors, and towards the end of Elizabeth's reign the court incurred the hostility of the See also:common See also:law courts, as having neither a statutory nor prescriptive See also:title to jurisdiction

Notwithstanding a decision in 1598 as to the illegality of its jurisdiction, and subsequent decisions to the same effect in the reigns of James I. and See also:Charles I., it continued to flourish until the suppression of the See also:Star Chamber in 1640 virtually put an end to it
.
Although it sat until 1642, and masters of requests were appointed even after the Restoration, it ceased to exercise judicial functions
