Anno Primo Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster, in the Quindeane of St. Michael, in the first Year of King Richard the Second.

[unspec 1] AT the Quindean of St. Michael, being Tuesday the thirteenth of October, certain Bishops and Lords assembled at the Palace of Westminster in the Blanch Chamber there, where for that divers of the Bishops, and Lords were not come,* 1.2 the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, by the Kings commandment, adjourned the Parliament until the next day without any further declaration, willing them all to attend.

[unspec 2] At the which next day, as well the King as the two Arch-Bishops,* 1.3 with most of the Lords and Commons assembled in the Painted Cham∣ber,* 1.4 where the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury pronounced the cause of the Parliament, beginning with this Theam, Rex tuus venit tibi.

[unspec 3] The which his ••heam he divided into three parts saying, that for three causes every friend ought to be welcomed to another, viz. if he come to rejoyce, and to be merry with his friend, for any singular benefit or good hap fallen to his friend, and therefore alledged, Et ex∣ultavit in••ans in utero ejus. Another, if the said coming were to com∣fort his friend in adversity, as it is contained in the Book of Iob. And the third, for assaying his friend in time of necessity, according to the Scripture, in necessitate probabitur amicus.

He applieth, that the King their undoubted leige Lord, was now come unto them, not for one, but for all three causes. For the first, to rejoyce with them in the great providence, and grace of God by send∣ing his person among them, not by any collateral means, or election,* 1.5 but by special discent of inheritance,* 1.6 and for their good wil••s was he therefore come to give them thanks.

[unspec 5] To visit and comfort them in their great necessity,* 1.7 and adversities, He was also come, as not onely for the death of the noble King E. 3. and for the Prince his Son, but also for the great losses of them on the Sea-coasts,* 1.8 and elsewhere within the Realm, done by their enemies, whereunto he now was come, not onely to proffer himself in aid, but to confirm all their Liberties,* 1.9 to maintain the Laws, and Peace, to redress the contrary.

[unspec 6] * 1.10To assay them, He was also come as to councel with them for the depressing of the enemy, and to require aid of them, without which he could not perform the same; for all which, he willed them to con∣sult together.

[unspec 7] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.11 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 8] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn, and other Countries beyond the Seas, and of the Isles.

[unspec 9] Tryers of Petitions for England, Wales, and Scotland, with their places appointed.

[unspec 10] Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

[unspec 11] The next day after Sir Richard le Scroop, Steward of the Kings House,* 1.12 by the Kings commandment, in the presence of the King, Lords and Commons, rehearsed the whole matter of the Arch-Bishop, and willed them to consult thereof.

[unspec 12] The same day the Commons required sundry Lords and Nobles with whom they might confer,* 1.13 and as chief of them the King of Castill and Aragon, and Duke of Lancaster.

[unspec 13] The same King and Duke kneeling before the King required to be exempted from the same choice, for that the Commons had slandered him in manner of Treason,* 1.14 in which his defence he there openly before the King demanded the Combate to any person whatsoever,* 1.15 or what o∣ther order the King should appoint.

[unspec 14] Whereupon the whole Lords and Commons with one voyce purged him,* 1.16 and requested that he would use no more such words, where to the said Duke seemed to be content; but said, that the same report to set the Nobles at debate,* 1.17 was no better then treason.

[unspec 13] After that Sir Peirce de la Mare Knight,* 1.18 being Speaker of the Par∣liament, making his protestation said;* 1.19 that what he had to say was from the whole House, and therefore required that if he should happily speak any thing without their consents,* 1.20 that the same ought to be amen∣ded before his departure from the said place.

[unspec 16] He commendeth the feats of Chivalry,* 1.21 and sheweth how we were thereby of all Nations renowned, and how by the decay of the same, the honor of this Realm was, and daily would much decrease.

[unspec 17] He further sheweth, that when Merchants were Masters of ships, * 1.22 and had the free disposition of them, that then one Town in the Realm had more ships that were good, then now had the whole Realm.

[unspec 18] The Commons by him make three Petitions,* 1.23 considering the Kings tender age. First, that it will please the King to name in the Parlia∣ment seventeen sufficient persons of all estates to be continually resident about the Affairs of the King and Realm, with others of the Kings Officers, so as they may be ascertained of their names, who shall have the disposition of such things as they shall grant towards the War.

[unspec 19] That their names may be known who shall be about the Kings per∣son, bringing him up in vertue, and that the Kings house may be born with the Revenews of the Crown,* 1.24 and what now is to be granted to be imployed onely upon the Wars.

[unspec 20] That the Common Laws,* 1.25 and other Statutes and Ordinances of the Law may be observed, and may not be defaced with Masterships, or sin∣gularities.

[unspec 21] To the first request the King assenteth, so as the Chancellor, Treasurer, Keeper of the Privy Seal, Justices of the one Bench and the other may execute their Offices without the assent of such Councel∣lors.* 1.26

[unspec 22] The King also by the advice of the Lords, in the same Parliament, for that one year chose nine other the like Councellors,* 1.27 viz. ••he Bishops of London, Carlisle, and Salisbury, the Earls of Stafford and March, Sir Richard Stafford, and Sir Henry le Scroop Baronets, Sir Iohn Deverose, and Sir Hugh Segrave Batchelors, so as well these nine as the other seven shall continue Councellors but one year, and not to be chosen during two years after.

[unspec 23] That no gift of the King of any thing shall be made to any of the said Councellors,* 1.28 during the said year, but by the common assent of all other Councellors, or the most of them, that they take nothing o∣ther then meat and drink of small value, upon pain of losing double to the party, and sixfold so taken to the King, and that they maintain no quarrel, and that the discussion hereof be onely to the King, to his Uncles of Spain, Cambridge, and Bucks.

[unspec 24] That all such as sh••ll complain of such Councellors,* 1.29 and not able to approve, shall incur the dangers of Accusers made in the time of E. 3.

[unspec 25] * 1.30That such Councellors shall be sworn in the Kings presence to observe these Orders, at which time the aforesaid Nine were sworn ac∣cordingly.

[unspec 26] For the appointing of such as should be about the Kings person, the Lords would not intermeddle;* 1.31 and for the consideration of the Kings Houshold, the Lords would talk with the chief Officers of the same, to do therein to the Kings honor. And to the third request the Lords granted.

[unspec 27] The Lords and Commons granted to the King two Fifteens out of Cities and Burroughs,* 1.32 and two Tenths of Cities and Burroughs, the Fifteens of all Lands whatsoever, and Tenths of all manner of goods to be levied between that and Candlemas ensuing, so as the same with the Subsidy of Woolls be imploied upon the Wars onely,* 1.33 and that some might be appointed thereunto. All which was granted, saving to the King the Custom of the Woolls 15000 l. wherein he was indebted for the Wars; And thereupon William Wallworth, and Iohn Philpot, Merchants of London, were appointed the keepers of such sums to the uses aforesaid, whereto they were sworn before the King in open Par∣liament.* 1.34

[unspec 28] [unspec 29] * 1.35William de Monteacute, Earl of Sarum complaineth, that whereas E. 3. gave to William de Monteacut••, Earl of Salisbury his Father, in general tail with warranty the Castle,* 1.36 Town, and Honour of Denbigh, with the Contrades of Roos, Rowenox, and Kiderminster, and the Comote of Dimnael, with the appurtenances in Wales, the which in the life of E. 3. was recovered in the Kings Bench from the said Earl by Roger of Mortimer Earl of March, Father to Edward, now Earl, by the name of the Land of Denbigh, and for that error was in the same recovery; he prayeth the exam••nation of the same Record, and restitution, vide 2 R. 2.41 & 31.

* 1.37Whereupon, Sir Iohn Cavend••sh, Chief Justice of the Kings Bench, by appointment brought out the same Record into the Parliament

there to remain until the next Parliament,* 1.38 and a Scire facias awarded a∣gainst the said Edmond Earl of March then to be there, and to abide further Order.

[unspec 30] Sir Iohn de Cobham Knight, Son of the Countess Marshal, sheweth, that where he for seisin gave to King Edw. 3. a ring of gold or the rever∣sion of his Mannors of Wenden-hill,* 1.39 Pademore, Chederoldsenry. Han∣shardzolt, Wedon in the Vale, Draiton, Beauchampe, Nesseworth, San∣dresdon, Holpesthorp, Rolvesham in the County of Bucks, ••olson ••n Norfolk, the good Mannor of Adington in Bucks, and Rowlston in the County of Leicester, to have all the premises after his decease to the King, and of his Heirs of the Crown; he now prayeth that accord∣ing to his intent the same may remain in the Crown.

[unspec 31] Whereupon the same Parliament, divers Lords and others were ex∣amined openly, who approved the gift in form a••oresaid, made to the King by delivery of a Ring of gold in the name o•• seisin,* 1.40 the which by all the Justices was thought to be good, and the Lands to pass thereby. Note that the examination was by their Oathes; and note that the Ju∣stices and other learned of the King avowed such surrender by delivery of a Ring to a common person to be good.

[unspec 32] William Fitzhug•• Citizen, and Goldfiner of London, exhibited a Bill in the name of the poor Commonalty of that mystery,* 1.41 thereby com∣plaining against Iohn Chichest••r, and Iohn Bolsham of the same Mystery for divers oppressions by them done to the said Commo∣nalty.* 1.42

[unspec 33] Whereupon the said Iohn and Iohn came into the Parliament,* 1.43 and heard the same; and for that ••he said William upon demand refused to avow the same Bill, he was committed to the Tower.

[unspec 34] One Roll containing fourteen Articles made between the King and his beloved Brother,* 1.44 Iohn Duke of Britany, touching the Castle, and Signory of Brest in Britany, was read before the Lords, who agreed to all the Articles, saving to the twelfth, touching alliance, the which Roll remaineth with the Petitions of the Commons.

[unspec 35] Robert Hawley, and Iohn Shakell, Esq••; who had the keeping of the Son of the Earl of Doney, a Spaniard prisoner,* 1.45 taken at the Battel of Na••ar, to which prisoner other made claim, and for that the said Ro∣bert and Iohn would not bring forth the said Prisoner, being thereunto willed, they were both committed to the Tower.* 1.46

[unspec 36] It is enacted, that all Merchants Gascoyne and English might freely transport into Gascoyne and Brest to the Kings friends all manner of Corn and other Victuals,* 1.47 and also leather-Gloves, Purses and Caps, Leather-points, Shooing-horns, and such other kind of small Mer∣chandizes notwithstanding any Ordinance of the Staple, but not else∣where upon pain of forfeiture therefore, look 2 R. 2. tit. 54.

[unspec 37] The Staple of Woolls appointed to be kept at Guensburough is re∣voked, * 1.48 and appointed to be holden at Sandwich.

[unspec 38] William de Weston prisoner,* 1.49 brought from the Tower by the Con∣stable of the Tower, before the Lords, was demanded by Sir Richard le Scroop Knight, Steward of the Kings House, being thereto ap∣pointed

by the Lords for surrendring the Castle Outherwick in the time of King E. 3. without Commission,* 1.50 where he the said VVilliam took upon him the safe keeping of the same.

[unspec 39] Whereunto the said William made a long Answer, and if it were true, as it was not disproved, very reasonable; notwithstanding he was for the same surrender adjudged to death,* 1.51 and returned to the Tower again.* 1.52

[unspec 40] * 1.53Iohn de Gomeniz, was likewise brought from the Tower before the Lords, and questioned by the said Sir Richard le Scroop for surren∣dring of the Town of Ardes in the Kings time, where he took upon him the safe keeping of the same of King E. 3. whose excuse therein was disproved; whereupon the Lords gave Judgment he should die;* 1.54 but for that he was a Gentleman, and a Banneret, and had otherwise well deserved, he should be beheaded, and Judgment respited untill the King be thereof informed more fully, and so returned to the Tower.

[unspec 41] Dame Alice Perrees was brought before the Lords, and by Sir Richard le Scroop Knight aforesaid,* 1.55 charged for pursuing of matters con∣trary to the order taken in 50 E. 3. tit. 35. and namely,* 1.56 for that she in the time of E. 3. procured Sir Nicholas Dagworth to be called from Ireland whether he was sent, and for that she also in the same time pro∣cured from the same King restitution for lands and goods to Richard Lyons,* 1.57 Merchant of London, where the same Lands were given to the Kings own Sons.

[unspec 42] The same Dame denied that she pursued any such things for her sin∣gular gain; whereupon divers Officers, Councellors, and Servants to King E. 3. being examined,* 1.58 proved that she made such pursuits, and in their conceits for her own private gain.

[unspec 43] * 1.59Then straight Judgment was given by the said Lords against the same Dame, that according to the order aforesaid she should be ba∣nished,* 1.60 and forfeit all her Lands, Goods and Tenements whatso∣ever.

To say truth of the Devil, is counted commendable; and therefore certes, the Record against the same Dame being very long, proveth no such heinous matter against her; onely it sheweth, that the same Dame was in such credit with E. 3. as she sat at his beds head,* 1.61 when all of the Council and of the Privy Chamber stood waiting without doors, and that she moved those suits that they dared not; and these two suits wherefore she was condemned,* 1.62 seemed very honest; her mishap was, that she was friendly to many, but all were not so to her. The Record is strange and worthy of sight.

[unspec 44] * 1.63The Print touching the Liberties of the Church, the Great Char∣ter, and the Charter of the Forrest, cap. 1. agreeth with the Re∣cord.

The Statute made therefore shall be observed.* 1.80

[unspec 55] That no Mason, Carpenter, Artificer,* 1.81 or Labourer do take any wages for the holy daies.

The Statutes therefore made shall be observed.* 1.82

[unspec 56] That the Petitions of the Commons in the 50 E. 3. whereto the Kings answer was,* 1.83 The King willeth the same to be made in Acts, for that some affirm them to be but Ordinances, and no Acts.

It is in part done,* 1.84 and the rest the King will do according to reason.

[unspec 57] * 1.85That such as receive the Subsidy of Woolls, and the Tallage of Groats, granted 50 E. 3. may account in open Court before the Lords.

Anno Secundo Ricardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster, in the Quin∣den. of Easter, in the Second year of King Richard the Second.

[unspec 1] IN the Quindena of Easter being the 25. of April, the Duke of Lan∣caster and other Bishops and Lords assembled in the Kings Palace of Westminster, attending of long time the coming of the King; at the last,* 1.237 for that certain Sheriffs had not made the return of their Writs, the Parliament by the Kings commandment was continued untill the next day, whereof Proclamation was made openly in West∣minster-hall.

[unspec 6] He therefore willed the Lords by themselves,* 1.246 and the Commons by themselves to weigh the necessi••ies, and to provide therefore, and not to muse at the sudden calling of this Parliament, considering the same was for the Kings honour, and safety of the Realm.

[unspec 23] The Earl of March being there present, alledged that the Writ of Scire fac. is not sufficiently served,* 1.263 for that the Writ willeth the Sheriff to warn Edmond Mortimer Earl of March,* 1.264 Son and Heir of Roger Mor∣timer late Earl of March, the Son of Edmond de Mortimer, and the She∣riffs return is, that he hath warned Edmond Mortimer Earl of March, Son and Heir of Roger de Mortimer, Son of Edmond de Mortimer, late Earl of March, which cannot be intended the same person, for that Edmond the Father of Roger de Mortimer was never Earl of March.

[unspec 24] The Earl of Salisbury affirmeth the Return to be good,* 1.265 and prayeth that upon assigning of examination of the Errors,* 1.266 the Judgment may be reversed.

Long after the same King prayed the said Feoffees by mouth, that therewith they should provide for the sustenance of the Friars of Langley, and for the Nuns of Dertford, and to provide perpetual Obit for the Countess of Huntington, and another for the soul of the Countess-Marshal, and for other charges. Whereupon all the Justices and Serjeants to the King there named, were straitly charged in full Parliament to say their knowledge, whether the Charge thus made to the Feoffees after the Feoffment aforesaid should by Law be adjudged a Condition, so as the said gift were made conditionally. All who agreed, that sithence there was nothing spoken before the gift upon the gift, nor yet upon the livery, that the Kings request after they were thus in possession, could not make any condition, whereby the Kings right is now thereby saved.

And note that this motion was made at the suit of the Executors of King E. 3. who were infeoffed as is aforesaid,* 1.270 and receiving of the profits, were forbidden the same.

• First, for the liberties of the Church,* 1.336 maintenance of the Laws, and [unspec 3] observations of the Peace.
• Secondly, for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden. [unspec 4] * 1.337
• Thirdly, for that the King desired to see, and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name, which he com∣mendeth, [unspec 5] willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church.* 1.338

[unspec 6] Another great cause was, for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars,* 1.339 could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid.

[unspec 7] He sheweth further, that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time,* 1.340 they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French, to the end to depart from the same Truce, and by all means to annoy the King and his friends: All which to recite, and the charges thereof to bear, he willeth them deeply to consider.

[unspec 8] One great mischief in the Commonweal, he remembreth them, viz. That the Law of the Land,* 1.341 and the Law of Arms do not con∣cur together; by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative, so as they may stand with the other.

[unspec 9] Another mischief he noteth, to wit, Slanderers and sowers of dis∣cord between Nobles,* 1.342 Gentlemen, and Neighbours, the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh, so applying them to eat and consume living men.

[unspec 10] For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress,* 1.343 and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations, and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid.

[unspec 11] Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

[unspec 12] * 1.344Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas, and for the forein Isles.

[unspec 13] * 1.345Tryers of petitions for England, &c. as above.

Tryers of petitions for Gascoin, &c. as above.

[unspec 14] [unspec 15] The Friday after the two and twentieth of October, the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold,* 1.346 declaring his own unworthiness there to speak, shewed them how they were invironed with enemies,* 1.347 and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas; namely, that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds,* 1.348 Brest twelve thousand marks, besides Ireland, Cherburgh, Burdeaux, and Bayn, he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament, was onely dispended in the Wars, as the Officers could declare; he wisleth them to consult for the rescue, and the mean how to levie the charges.

[unspec 16] * 1.349After that the Commons came before the King, where Sir Iames Pickering knight,* 1.350 Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons, maketh his Protestation,* 1.351 as well for himself, as for the whole House: And first for the Commons, That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken, it might be as as nothing, so as the Com∣mons at any time might amend the same: And so much for himself.

[unspec 17] He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun- the Chancellor: and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church,* 1.352 maintenance of the Laws, and observations for the Peace, the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks;* 1.353 and pray God for the execution of the same.

[unspec 18] [unspec 19] * 1.354To the aid required for the King, he sheweth how in the last Parlia∣ment, upon the like motion to the Commons, repeating the great char∣ges of the King, by the Treasurer,* 1.355 they then made answer, that they saw no such cause of aid; whereunto for the King it was then replyed, that the Kings Coronation was chargeable, and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid, whereby the King might thereby provide an army,* 1.356 that they nothing doubted, but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time; upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid,* 1.357 and being now unable to do the same, require pardon thereof, thinking that a great part of the same grant, remained yet in the Kings Treasury.

[unspec 20] The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament,* 1.358 charging them with un••ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be; And thereto calleth for wit∣ness William Walworth,* 1.359 and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London,* 1.360 and Treasurers appointed and sworn.

* 1.361Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied, whether some were not therefore indebted, and who should be Councellors and great Officers about the Kings person for this year.* 1.362

[unspec 21] * 1.363The said Sir Richard le Scroop by the Kings commandment answer∣ed, that albeit there never was account of Subsidies in or out of Par∣liament,

yet notwithstanding the King would that the said William and Iohn with others of the Kings Council should shew them the same,* 1.364 so as the same should be taken for no example. Touching any of the Kings debts, the Exchequer used not to forget them.

[unspec 22] Touching the Kings Officers and Councellors, the King will chuse them according to his pleasure, and thereafter make them prevail. He therefore willeth the Lords, as knowing the necessity, to have due and speedy consideration thereof.

The Commons require longer day for the exhibiting of the••r Petitions,* 1.365 which was granted. They also require the Enroll∣ment of the Aids and Subsidies granted the last Parliament; the which was granted at the Kings pleasure, and not at their re∣quest.

[unspec 23] The Commons then require that five or six of the Lords might be appointed to come to discourse with them;* 1.366 the Lords denyed that, say∣ing, the same was the guise of two or three Parliaments before; but theirs was that the Lords should among themselves chuse a certain num∣ber, and the Commons the like; and that they should confer together which they would do; for if the Commons would not dissever them∣selves, neither would they the Lords, to which Order the Commons agreed.

[unspec 24] After the Commons had reviewed the Enrollments of the receipts and expences about the Wars,* 1.367 they eftsoon returned into the Parlia∣ment and commended the same as very honourable; only they said that touching the forty six thousand pound defraied about the Mar∣ches of Callice, Brest, and other places of Gascoign, and certain ran∣soms of prisoners should not run in their charge, considering those de∣fences were out of the Realm.

[unspec 25] Thereunto was answered, that those places were the very Barbicans and Propugnacles of the Realm;* 1.368 the which being well defrauded, and the Sea kept, we should then enjoy peace at home, and not other∣wise.

[unspec 26] The Commons then thought the goods of King E. 3. able to serve the turn. Whereto was answered, that the same goods were justly praised and delivered to certain his Creditors,* 1.369 (except certain imple∣ments of houshold) wherefore the King stood bound to pay the value to certain of his Cred••tors.

[unspec 27] The Archbishop of Canterbury came before the King and Lords, * 1.370 and required audience, giving first most lowly thanks for the confirm∣ing of the liberties of the Church. He then required that the great villany done in the Abby-Church of Westminster may be revenged, viz. for that Robert Hamley Esq. and one other were murthered in the Church of Westminster by the high Altar at high Mass time.* 1.371 And so beseecheth that the King may be vertuously brought up in his youth, and have good Counsel.

[unspec 28] The Temporal Lords on the contrary wished for the like bringing up of the King in vertue;* 1.372 ••nd pray the King, that where the Clergy hath incroached against the Laws, that the same may be redressed.

* 1.373They further say, That the Judges and learned of the Law, and certain Doctors of the Divine, Civil, and Common Law, being exa∣mined and sworne before the King, have thereby affirmed that no man ought to enjoy the Sanctuary in cases of Debt,* 1.374 Accompt, or Trespass, but only in cases where the life or member of a man lieth in danger. All which those Doctors and Clerks did after in this present Parliament defend and openly prove against the Bishops, whereunto the Bishops could not then answer, but required longer day, which was granted.

Note, in this Record are made certain reasons against Sanctuary for Debts, about which priviledge it appeareth this Hurly-burly to have been.

[unspec 29] * 1.375The Lords and Commons grant to the King the like Subsidy of Wooll and Staple ware, as was granted in 50 E. 3. tit. 7. but expressed in 43 E. 3. tit. 10. for one year over and above. Which said subsidies they granted to the King, as a new increase of the same subsidies: Thirteen shillings four pence of every sack of Wooll; Th••rteen shillings four pence for every twelve score Wooll-fells; Twenty six shillings eight pence of every Last of Skins passing out of the Realm, of all manner of persons for one year.

[unspec 30] * 1.376They also grant to the King six pence of every Twenty shillings merchandise passing or coming into the Realm. They require the King to imploy their Grants to the maintenance of Wars, and to appoint suff••cient and able Treasurers therefore as lately; And to take these their Grants in good part, for that by Plague, War, and Murrain, they are able to do no more.

[unspec 31] William of Montacute Earl of Salisbury, rehearseth the old Petition contained in 1 R. 2. tit. 28. & 29. and prayeth as there is redress.* 1.377

[unspec 32] The Writ of Scire facias,* 1.378 whereby the Earl of March was willed to appear.

[unspec 33] * 1.379The Sheriffs return upon the same Scire facias, that the same Earl of March was not found within this Bailiwick, neither any Lands or Tene∣ments to be warned thereby, who was Sheriff of Shropshire. Where∣upon the said Earl of Salisbury required another Scire fac. for to warn Edmund now Earl of March,* 1.380 the son and heir of the said Roger, to be and answer at the next Parliament,* 1.381 which was granted.

[unspec 34] * 1.382The Lady Nevill of Essex complaineth and sheweth, that where Iohn Brewes and others brake her house at London, and violently took thereout Margery the daughter of Iohn Nerfourd son to the said Lady, and carried her away unto the house of Robert Howard knight; All who kept away the said Margery, to the end she should not pursue in Court Christian adnullation of contract of matrimony against the said Iohn Brewes. For which cause the said Robert was by the Council committed to the Tower, and after delivered surety, and promised to do his utter∣most to bring forth the said Margery by Michaelmas ensuing, or else to yield himself prisoner to the Tower again.

[unspec 35] * 1.383The said Robert at Michaelmas came before certain of the Council, and shewed his travel about the expedition asore, but that he could not meet with her. To whom the said Council gave three moneths of longer

respite. Notwithstanding upon the said Ladies pursuit, for that the said Robert not bringing forth the said Margery, did not yield himself pri∣soner to the Tower, the same Robert was therefore committed to the Tower again.* 1.384

[unspec 36] Sir William of Windsor and Alice his wife, late called D••me Alice Perrers,* 1.385 pray the revocation of a Judgment made in the last Parliament, tit. 41, 42, 43. against the said Alice for Errors therein contained. The Record was brought forth, and Errors assigned. But the Kings learned Council adjudged,* 1.386 and the Kings favour they could not sue in such wise, but require that by A••torney they might sue therefore.* 1.387

[unspec 37] Whereupon the said William and Alice his wife, late called Dame Alice Perrers, by a new Bill required, that they by Edmund Clay and Robert Brown their Attornies might pursue the Reversal of the said Judgment.* 1.388 The King committed the matter to the Lords order,* 1.389 who licensed them by the Kings favour to pursue the same as above.

[unspec 38] The Citizens of Norwich require,* 1.390 that no stranger within their Liberty may there sell or buy any merchandise by retail, on pain of forfeiture.

There is a Statute hereafter made therefore, which shall be kept.

It is enacted for the Citizens of Norwich,* 1.391 That if their Customs and Usages heretofore used, or hereafter to be used, be difficult or defective in part, or in all, or that the same need any due amendment for any new matter arising, whereof remedy was not before that time had, that then the Bailiffs and 24 Citizens of the same City, so there∣fore yearly to be chosen, or the greater part of them, shall from hence∣forth have power to ordain and provide from time to time such reme∣dies which are most agreeable to saith and reason, and for the most profit of the good and peaceable government of the same Town, and of strangers thereto repairing,* 1.392 as to them shall seem best, so as such Or∣dinances be profitable for the King and his people.

Anno Tertio Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster, on Monday next after S. Hilary, in the Third year of Richard the Second.

[unspec 1] [unspec 2] * 1.460THe same Monday being the 17. of Ianuary, as well the King in proper person, as sundry Bishops, Lords and Commons came to Westminster; where for that divers Lords were not come by reason of great rain late before fallen, nor sundry Sheriffs returned their Writs, the Parliament by the Kings commandment was adjourned untill the next day, and thereof open declaration made in the Chamber de Pinct,* 1.461 with charge that all men do return the same next morning.

[unspec 3] * 1.462The Tuesday following, the King with divers Bishops, Lords and Commons came into the said Chamber de Pinct, where the Knights and Burgesses were called. After which, Sir Richard le Scroop Knight, Chan∣cellor of England, by the Kings commandment declared the causes of the same Assembly.

* 1.463First, for the liberties of the Church, maintenance of the Laws, and preservation of the Peace.

[unspec 4] [unspec 5] * 1.464Secondly, for that the Regality of the Kings Crown was greatly im∣paired by sundry means, as well by the Court of Rome as otherwise,* 1.465 wherein the provisions therefore made were as well to be executed, as further remedy to be provided for.

Thirdly, to consult how to resist not only the Enemies of France,* 1.466 Spain, and Scotland, who had raised hot wars, but also to suppress the Rebels of Ireland and Gascoin, and how to defend the Kings dominions beyond the seas. All which, for that the same could not be accomplish∣ed without their aid, he willed them to be advised thereof, shewing them further that the Lords of the Great Council should, when they would, make them privy as well to the receipts of the last Grant and Subsidies of Staple-ware, as of the disbu••sing of the same.

Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

[unspec 6] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin, and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles.

* 1.467Tryers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

[unspec 7] [unspec 8] Tryers of Petitions for Gascoin, &c. as above.

[unspec 9] [unspec 10] After which the Lords and Commons were eftsoons assembled in Parliament, where the Chancellor made further declaration of the causes of their Assembly,* 1.468 shewing of the Grant made by them at Glou∣cester, of the new increase of Woolls, and Six pence of every Twenty shillings in merchandise or wares, and the revocation of the same at the next Parliament, upon grant of singular persons, which was promised to have been able to have furnished Twenty thous••nd men of Arms, and so many Archers,* 1.469 where the charge of the Soldiers came to Fifty

thousand besides many other charges there declared, for the which the King stood indebted,* 1.470 whereof he willed them to have due consideration.

[unspec 11] [unspec 12] After their charge given to the Commons they returned into the Parliament before the King and Lords,* 1.471 bringing in Sir Iohn Gildesbrough knight,* 1.472 whom they had chosen then to be their Speaker; who making his Protestation,* 1.473 required, that whatsoever he should speak, and be ta∣ken in evill part, might be imputed to his ignorance, and not unto the Commons. And if that happily he should speak contrary to the expectation of the said Commons, that they then at all times amend the same.

He saith then, that the Commons suppose that if the King were rea∣sonably governed in his expences within,* 1.474 and without the Realm, that he should little need to charge his Commons,* 1.475 being already much impoverished. And therefore they require the King to discharge the Lords of the great Councel, and to appoint about him only five Coun∣cellors, being his chief Officers, viz. the Chancellor, Treasurer, Keeper of the Privy Seal, chief Chamberlain, and the Steward of the Hous∣hold, whose names they would know•• and that they should not be re∣moved without Parliament, but for death, sickness or such like causes.

[unspec 13] Finally, he requireth that it would please the King to appoint by Commission certain such as should enquire by all means of the Kings charges as well of Houshold,* 1.476 as otherwise, and of all his Officers be∣yond the Seas, as on this side, and to appoint redresse for defaults since his Coronation.

[unspec 14] The King after that granteth to such Commission, and to the persons therein named, according to the form following, his estate and rega∣lity always saved.

The whole form and Commission it self with the Names of the Commissioners very large,* 1.477 and worthy the noting.

[unspec 15] [unspec 16] The Lords and Commons do grant to the King one fifteen and a half to be taken out of the Cities and Towns,* 1.478 and one Desme, of Fif∣teenth and a half to be taken within Cities and Towns by way of a Loan untill the next Parliament,* 1.479 and to be levied according as the last were, so as the same be only imployed upon the Warrs.* 1.480

[unspec 17] They also grant unto the King the Subsidie of wools,* 1.481 woolfels, and skins, from the Feast of S. Michael next, until Michaelmas then next ensuing, in such wise as was granted in the last Parliament, beseech∣ing that in the mean time there may not other Subsidies be asked of the Commons.

[unspec 18] For a more declaration of the Statute of Treason made 25 E. 3. it was adjudged by the Temporal Justices, and confirmed by Parlia∣ment, that where one Iean Imperial Ianeois,* 1.482 of S. Meces in Iennes, came as an Ambassador to the King,* 1.483 under the Kings let∣ters of safe conduct for alliance to be had between the King and the Duke, and Commonalty of Iennes, the aforesaid Iean so being un∣der the Kings protection was murthered in London, by some of the Kings Subjects: That such act and stroak was Treason, and a fault of the Kings royal Majesty impaired.

[unspec 20] * 1.487Whereupon Sir Iohn Bishopstone Clerk, and servant to the Earl of March, in the absence of the said Earl then being in Wales in preparing himself towards Ireland, where he was appointed to be the Kings Lieu∣tenant, sheweth the Kings protection made to the said Earl of March for one half year.* 1.488

[unspec 21] * 1.489The words of the protection being read, as it is there word for word, and allowed, and the said Earl of March to go without day.

[unspec 22] * 1.490Philip Darcy knight sheweth, that whereas King Edw. 3. granted to Iohn Darcy knight the reversion of the Mannors of Temphurst and Templemeston, and to his heirs males, which was the said Philip: The Prior of S. Iohn of Ierusalem in England,* 1.491 upon the Order of 17 E. 2. had sued a Scire facias against the said Philip, where the said Philip prayed in aid of the King as in reversion, and that the said Prior sued in the Chancery for a Procedendo, which he requireth to be stayed.

[unspec 23] * 1.492The said Philip sheweth a Deed in the Parliament, whereby the Predecessor of the said Prior granted those Mannors of Flaxfleet, being then in the Kings hands, together with the Mannors of Dennis and Stroud next Rocestre, all being parcel of the Lands of the Temple to King E. 2. in fee; the which Deed the same Prior seemeth to deny: But the same being so shewed before, was delivered to the Treasurer and Barons of the Exchequer as appertaining to the King,* 1.493 and order taken that no proceedings should be granted until Michaelmas after; that in the mean time search might be made for the Kings title.

[unspec 24] * 1.494Iohn Earl of Pembroke being in the Kings custody, and William la Zouch of Harringworth, Cousins and heirs of William Cantlow, shew, that where Thomas the son and heir of Sir Robert Roos of Ingmanthorp, sued them for certain lands in the Shire of York, which late were the said Williams, supposing certain Feoffments to be made by the said William without Condition for the advantage of this Complaint. And for that the said Thomas sought to come to the trial of the Country,* 1.495 which he had corrupted, they required redress and trial by the Parlia∣ment.

[unspec 25] * 1.496The matter was committed to Iohn Knevit and Iohn Cavendish Chief Justices,* 1.497 and to Robert Belknap Chief Justice of the Common-Pleas, to examine and make report, who did so at large; whereby it falls out that the said Feoffments were made upon Condition, as may there appear.

[unspec 30] Certain Counties bordering upon the Marches of Wales,* 1.507 require remedy against such Welsh-men as come into their Counties,* 1.508 committing sundry robberies, rapes, felonies, and other evils.

[unspec 31] They require that no person upon an Inquest of Office by the Escheator be put out of his Lands,* 1.510 finding Sureties to answer to the King if it be found for him; or that no Patent be thereof granted.

Anno Quarto Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Northampton, the Mun∣day next after the Feast of All Saints, in the fourth year of Richard the second.

[unspec 1] ON the same Munday being the fifteenth day of November, cer∣tain Bishops and Lords assembled in Northampton, in a Cham∣ber within the Priory at S. Andrews therefore appointed, where the Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor caused the great Charter to be read;* 1.522 which done, for that sundry of the Lords and Commons were not come by reason of the foul wayes, much imp••ited by a con∣tinual and outragious wet season; and for that the Sheriffs had not returned their Writs,* 1.523 the same Parliament by Commandment of the King who then was come in person to the Mannor of 〈◊〉〈◊〉 was adjourned to Thursday morning next ensuing.

[unspec 2] The same Thursday the King being accompanied with sundry Bi∣shops, and not many Lords temporal,* 1.524 for that the Duke of Lancaster and many of the Lords were then appointed to be on the Marches of Scotland, came into the Chamber aforesaid, whereunto were cal∣led the Kings Justices, Serjeants, Advocates, and Commons; where the Chancellor aforesaid, for his introduction made a good collation, which is not expressed.

[unspec 3] He then declared, that the Kings mind was to maintain the Liberties of the Church,* 1.525 and to see the Common peace preserved; and that the especial cause of the Parliament was, for that the King in setting forth the Duke of Buckingham with a great Army of men into France, for enterprizing this voyage into Scotland; and for defending 〈◊〉〈◊〉 and other places beyond the Seas, had not only defraied all that which they granted to him in the last Parliament, but also was therefore en∣forced for making of Exchanges and Shifts, to lay in manner his whole Jewels to gage;* 1.526 all which to them was not unknown.

[unspec 4] [unspec 5] He willeth them to consider the same and how farther the King was bound by sundry means now to maintain not only the same charge now begun, but also to make ready certain Gallies,* 1.527 and to keep the Sea, which were a matter impossible for any Christian Prince to accomplish of himself without aid; about which, and with the circumstances thereunto, he willeth them to consult, and speedily to give answer.* 1.528

* 1.529Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland.

[unspec 7] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas, and for the forein Isles.

[unspec 8] Tryers of petitions for England,* 1.530 &c. as above.

[unspec 9] Tryers of petitions for Gascoin, &c. as above.

* 1.531The Chancellor then willed the Commons to depart to their lodg∣ing, and to return next morning unto the new 〈◊〉〈◊〉 within the

same Priory, there to consult,* 1.532 and to forget all manner of rancour and malice.

[unspec 10] After that the Commons had for one day consulted,* 1.533 they came into the Parliament into the Kings presence, where Sir Iohn Oldersburgh Knight, the Speaker, desired a more fuller Declaration of the Kings necessity; and what sum total he would require therein, requiring due consideration of the Commons poor estate, being sundry wayes greatly impoverished.

Whereupon was delivered unto them by the Kings great Officers and Councel a Schedule,* 1.534 containing divers particular charges, amount∣ing to the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds.

[unspec 11] The Commons after came before the Lords•• requiring a moderati∣on of the same sum,* 1.535 and that it would please them to consult how the same might be levied.

After long debate betwixt the Lords and Commons for the levy∣ing of this sum, as by sundry particular devices doth there appear, the Commons offered to give an aid,* 1.536 so as the Clergy who had the third part of the Realm, would thereof pay one third part, which was fifty thousand marks, and the Commons an hundred thousand marks.

[unspec 13] The Clergy answered, That they were not to grant any aid by Par∣liament,* 1.537 but of their free wills, and therefore willed the Commons to do their duties, and they would do their own.

[unspec 14] Hereupon the Lords and Commons granted to the King of every per∣son being man or woman,* 1.538 passing the age of 15 years, and being no beg∣ger, twelve pence, to be levied of every person of every parish accord∣ing to their estate; so as the rich doth bear with the poor, and that the richest for him and his wife, be not set above twenty shillings, and the most poor for him and his wife, no lesse then one groat.

[unspec 15] They also grant to the King the Subsidies of Wools from the Feast of S. Martin then ensuing,* 1.539 unto the Feast of the Nativity of our La∣dy then following in such wise as was granted in the last Parliament.

[unspec 16] Sir Ralph of Ferriers knight,* 1.540 who was arrested by the Duke of Lancaster, on the Marches of Scotland, for suspition of Treason, as adhering unto the French, the Kings enemies, was brought into the Parliament before the Lords to answer thereto.

[unspec 17] Divers Letters under the hand and seal of Arms of the said Sir Ralph and sent to sundry French Lords,* 1.541 as to the Lord de la River, the Earl of Longvile, the Lord de Clisson, the Lord Admiral and others, were openly shewed, and read in Parliament, before the said Sir Ralph.

[unspec 18] The contents of the Letters were humble commends and certifica∣tion, how that he in the behalf of the French had taken league and confirmed alliance with the Scots; and to &c. made the first payment requiring them to make the second payment; occurrences touching the preparation of the English against the French, request to remember his Fee, and to give credit to the bearers of these Letters, who were to say much, and also touching the delivery of the Infants of Bois.

[unspec 19] The Letters to the French Admiral,* 1.542 willed him about Michaelmas to arrive about London, where he should have a fair day to lay up

Clerks, the bearer of the same Letter for that he had discovered his Councel had it not been for the promise of 2000 Franks. The bearers of these Letters, and Entents were his said Clark, one Iohn Fry, and another; but the most faithful were Frier William and Cannon who were often Liegers in France.

[unspec 20] * 1.543The Letter of Frier William to the same Sir Ralph sheweth, how he sped well with the whole Councel of France, that a way was found for Clark that he would bring the ransoms of the Infants of Boys, and his annuity or see of the French.

[unspec 21] The same Sir Ralph being brought into the Parliament by the Mar∣shal of England,* 1.544 required Councel, which was denied him; he then be∣ing willed to answer to those Letters, beginneth a long circumstance of his acquaintance in France, of his service there in King Edward the thirds time, at which time he kept holds when others did not, how he was Captain of Callis; In which times he might have done hurt, and did not; he therefore alledged the same to prove innocency, and the unlikelihood of this.

[unspec 22] Whereupon the said Sir Ralph was remanded to prison,* 1.545 and divers of his familiers being called into the Parliament house, as the Parson of Brington and others, together with the Beggar who first found these letters beside London; the whole matter was examined,* 1.546 and for that it appeared that certain of the Letters sent by the same Sir Ralph, to the parties beyond the Seas, were sealed together with other Letters sen•• from thence to the same Sir Ralph, also sealed all of one hand; and for that also that the seal was larger then the seal of the said Sir Ralph, it seemed forged by some of his enemies for his overthrow.* 1.547

[unspec 23] In the end, the same Sir Ralph being once or twice urged to answer,* 1.548 whether these Letters were his or no? answered, That he did not re∣member that they were his own letters, and that he was ready to ap∣prove, as they should think good, before which his last answer he of∣fered the combate with any that would,* 1.549 where from he was put.

[unspec 24] And therefore as otherwise the Lords thought the same Sir Ralph to be thereof innocent;* 1.550 wherefore he was committed to the custo∣dies of the Earls of Warwick, Stafford, Salisbury, Northumberland, to Reynold Grey of Ruthen, and the Prior of S. who became pledges body for body for the said Sir Ralph,* 1.551 to answer when he should be called between that and the next Parliament,* 1.552 and so the said Sir Ralph was set at large, the said Letters and his Seal being of silver, were delivered into the custody of Sir Iohn Cavendish chief Justice of England.* 1.553

[unspec 25] * 1.554The Beggers being thought to be privy to this falsehood, was com∣mitted to prison, the Parson of Brington, and other the friends of the same Sir Ralph being delivered.

Anno Quinto Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster, the Wednesday next after Iohn Port-Latin, in the Fifth year of King Richard the Second.

[unspec 1] THe same Wednesday, the King in person with certain Bishops and Lords came into the Parliament: But for that certain Sheriffs had not returned their Writs,* 1.606 the Parliament was adjourned un∣till the Thursday then following.

[unspec 2] The same Thursday the King with sundry Bishops and Lords came into the Chamber de Pinct at Westminster,* 1.607 whereinto all the Commons by name were called; before whom Sir Richard le Scroop knight, Chancellor of England, declared how in the last Parliament was granted to the King the Subsidy, with proviso that the same would suffice to serve the Kings turn touching shifts for money.

[unspec 3] Since that, the King by advice of his Great Council of Lords gather∣ed at Windsor,* 1.608 hath determined to make in his own person a Voyage Royal into France, whereto every Lord had promised for one year to serve him with certain men of war for single wages; and that upon conference with certain Merchants for money for so great an exploit, they were come to talk for the only assurance of the same.

[unspec 4] For which assurance, and for a stay within the Realm in the Kings absence, the Parliament was called;* 1.609 whereabout he willed the Lords and Commons to consult.

[unspec 10] The Saturday after, the Knights of the Shires by themselves re∣quired of the Lords,* 1.613 that the Merchants might be conferred withall, for they had most knowledge therein. Whereupon sundry Merchants there named are appointed to talk with them.

[unspec 11] Whereon when the Commons had fully debated with the Knights of the shires,* 1.614 they made relation to the Lords, that they knew no way

how to levy the same sum, for that the Merchants fearing the exam∣ple of Michael de la Pool,* 1.615 and other Merchants who in the like shifts were undone, and yet had but little gain, doubted to do the same; on∣ly they offered that if the Lords,* 1.616 Esquires, and Earls of the Realm, would freely lend to the King any notable sum, they would finde surety therefore, and otherwise they would not deal.

* 1.617For that the King perceived that the Merchants would make no means, or shift for the money, the King establisheth the order ensu∣ing for passage over of Wools, thinking thereby the more speedily to come by great sums to his content.

[unspec 13] The print touching Merchant strangers cap. 1. agreeth with the Re∣cord.* 1.618

Anno Quinto Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster, the day af∣ter All Souls, in the fifth year of King Richard [unspec 1] the Second.

FOr that this year All Souls fell on Saturday, the Parliament was ad∣journed until Munday ensuing,* 1.623 on which Munday the King and many Bishops and Lords came; but for that sundry Sheriffs made no return of their Writs,* 1.624 the Parliament was adjourned untill Tuesday after, on which day the King and Lords and Bishops came into the White Chamber at Westminster, and caused the names of the Knights and Burgesses to be called; where upon the default of sundry of them the Parliament was therefore adjourned unto Wednesday after;* 1.625 On which Wednesday for that great debate rose between the Duke of Lancaster and the Earl of Northumberland,* 1.626 so as great force of arms, men and Archers armed in warlike manner on both sides, came to the Parliament, whereof great complaint being made to the King, the King with his Councel and Nobles were much busied to appease the same;* 1.627 the King therefore adjourned the same Parliament till Saturday after.

[unspec 2] On that same Saturday the King being in Parliament, and the Coun∣cel being called by their names,* 1.628 William Cant. elect and confirmed Chancellor of England, began to declare the cause of the Parliament, taking for this his Theam, Rex convenire fecit consilium, whereupon in English he made a good Oration applying it to the good vertuous government of the King and of his reign, affirming that no reign could long endure if vice reigned therein,* 1.629 the which to redress by this Parliament that could not be by the order of the other Law, the King therefore had called the same.

[unspec 6] [unspec 7] The Wednesday after (but certainly it should seem to be the Mun∣day) the Commons were all called by their names within the Cham∣ber Blank,* 1.633 where Sir Hugh Segrave Treasurer of England, by the Kings Commandment remembred the Oration of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and said that the especiall cause was to maintain the liber∣ties of the Church,* 1.634 and to provide for the observation of the peace; and namely to punish the horrible tumults, and rebellion made against the King in those tumults, who was enforced to grant manumissions to the bondmen and others of the Realm,* 1.635 as on them having Kingly power

under the Great Seal of England:* 1.636 The which he knowing to be done against Law, willed them to seek remedy accordingly due for the con∣firmation or revocation thereof. In the end he touched the Kings great [unspec 9] want, whereof certain of the Council should make them privy: And so wishing them thereof to have due consideration, wished the Com∣mons to depart to their accustomed place within the Abby of West∣minster.

[unspec 10] [unspec 11] The Monday after, in the third day of the Parliament, being the eighteenth day of November, the Commons came into the Parliament to present Sir Richard Walsgrave knight,* 1.637 whom they had chosen their Speaker,* 1.638 who excused himself and desired to be discharged of the office; whereunto the King on his allegiance willed him to stand, being chosen by his companions.

Thereupon the said Sir Richard maketh the common protestation.

He then required a more full declaration of the Kings meaning,* 1.639 either by a mean rehearsal, or by his repetition.

[unspec 12] * 1.640The King therefore appointed Sir Richard le Scroop knight, and cre∣ated Chancellor, to do the same, who did so, and namely touching the Repeal of the Manumissions made to the Bondmen.

[unspec 13] * 1.641Whereto all the Commons cryed with one voice, that the Appeal was good and lawful; adding, That such infranchisement could not pass without their consents; and so upon the prayer of the Commons, the same Repeal was by assent confirmed.

[unspec 14] Certain Bishops, Lords and Nobles, upon the request of the Com∣mons,* 1.642 are appointed to confer with them.

After this Conference, the Commons thought it good that the King would grant a general Pardon to the offenders in these tumults.* 1.643

[unspec 15] [unspec 16] The Commons require, That of the particular consultations of the Bishops, Lords and Justices, a hearing might be brought to them. Whereunto was answered, that the old custom was,* 1.644 that the Commons should bring to the Lords their conceits and devises, and not to the contrary. The which the King would should be observed.

[unspec 17] The Commons afterwards coming into the Parliament, and making their protestation,* 1.645 shewed, that for want of good redress about the Kings person in his houshold, in all his Courts touching Maintainers in every County, and Purveyors,* 1.646 the Commons were daily pilled, and nothing defended against the Enemy; and that it would shortly de∣prive the King, and undo the whole State. Wherefore in the same Government they intirely require remedy.

[unspec 18] Whereupon the King appointed sundry Bishops, Lords and Nobles to sit in Privy Council about these matters:* 1.647 Who, since that they must begin at the Head, and go at the request of the Commons, they in the presence of the King charged his Confessor not to come into the Court but upon the four principal Feasts.

The Devises of the Commons,* 1.648 exhibited in a Schedule.

[unspec 19]

[unspec 20] First, that there may be appointed about the Kings person the most sage and approved wise men in the Court••* 1.649 the like Officers for the well governance of both.

That the most wise and able man in the Realm may be chosen Chan∣cellor,* 1.650 and that he seek to redress the enormities of the Chancery.

That the like order may be of the Treasurer,* 1.651 Barons, and Officers of the Exchequer.

[unspec 22] That the like be made touching all the Justices of both Benches;* 1.652 and that in th••s year two Justices, two Serjeants, and four Apprentices of the Law may be sworne to declare the delay and defects of the Law, and that the same may be remedied.

[unspec 23] That upon the accomplishment hereof, the Commons may view the names of the persons,* 1.653 and see the Ordinances before the confirming of them.

[unspec 24] The provision may be made for observing of the peace, and re∣pressing of such tumults as late were.* 1.654

[unspec 25] That remedy may be had against importable losses of the Commons and Realm, sustained by the Wars.

[unspec 26] That due consideration may be had of the great poverty within the Realm fallen by the Wars,* 1.655 carrying forth of good money,* 1.656 and base money now remaining, and by the low prices of Wooll,* 1.657 Tin, and Lead.

[unspec 27] That all Lords and Nobles,* 1.658 upon these Ordinances made, will help them to be severally executed on all Estates; and that it would please the King to grant a Pardon general, according to a Petition before made.

[unspec 28] Whereupon certain of the chief Clerks of the Chancery, certain Justices, Barons of the Exchequer•• and others learned in the Law,* 1.659 were appointed to consult thereon, and to present to the Lords their devises. And also there were appointed certain Merchants to declare the causes of the low prices of our commodities, carrying over of our money, washing and clipping of the same.

[unspec 29] All which made report accordingly to the Lords and Commons; * 1.660 whereof remedy was provided in part, viz. touching the Exchequer, and Merchants, and defaults of the Chancery, if any there were.

[unspec 30] After this, the Commons required of the King three manner of Pardons to be confirmed by Parliament,* 1.661 viz. The first touching Nobles and Gentlemen, which in resisting of Traitors and rebellious Villains, slew certain persons without due process of Law. The second for such as were of those rebellious companies. The third for such as lived in peace without any rising; which was granted.

The Pardon for Nobles and Gentlemen.* 1.662

[unspec 35] [unspec 32] The Pardons of the Rebels being out of the Towns of Canterbury, * 1.663 Bury S. Edmonds, Beverley, Scarborough, Bridgwater, and Cambridge, except such persons whose names appear hereafter, being the principal

and Ringleaders of the Rebels; except Provers and Appealers of Treason and Felonies, and except such as slew Simon Archbishop of Canterbury late Chancellor,* 1.664 the Prior of S. Iohns then Treasurer, and Iohn de Cavendish Chief Justice of the Kings Bench; so as all men endamaged by such insurrection be not foreclosed of their due remedy.* 1.665

[unspec 33] * 1.666The Pardon for such as lived in due obeisance, as free from that in∣surrection.

[unspec 34] * 1.667The Commons after came into the Parliament, where before the King they made a recapitulation of their former requests, and require now to have the same framed and fashioned out, and namely of the Ordinance against Purveyors.

[unspec 35] Thereto was replied by the King, That his charges were great as well for sundry particularities he uttered,* 1.668 as like to be greater for the so∣lemnity of the Kings marriage with the Lady Anne, the daughter of the late mighty Prince Charls Emperor of Rome, the which Lady was newly come into the Realm; the tenth part of which charges the King had not in treasure or otherwise; and that therefore it was as necessary to provide for the safety of the Kings estate,* 1.669 as for the Common weal.

[unspec 36] * 1.670The Commons answered, That considering the Subjects evil wills, they durst grant no Tax. Then was required of them the continuance of the Subsidies of Woolls and other Staple-wares: Whereto was an∣swered, that the Commons were not thereof advised.

[unspec 37] The Commons then thought good to have the Parliament adjourned until after Christmas,* 1.671 for that the same Feast approached, and that in the mean time they might be further advised of every particular point. Wherewith the King seemed to be content, and the rather for that the Queen was arrived.

[unspec 38] At this time, the Earl of Arundel and Sir Michael de la Poole were chosen and sworne to be about the Kings person for Council in govern∣ing him.* 1.672

[unspec 39] The Commons then require the sight of the Pardons granted. Thereto was answered, that such was not the guise; but that the Com∣mons should make petition for such Pardon in writing,* 1.673 and that the King the last day of the Parliament should answer the same. And further it was said, that the King used not to grant any thing to the Commons,* 1.674 unless they also granted to him. The Commons answered,* 1.675 that of the grant of the Subsidies of Wooll and other Staple-wares they would be advised: And it was answered for the King,* 1.676 that he would so be of any Pardon.

[unspec 40] * 1.677The Commons being somwhat better advised, came before and considering as well the Kings great charges, as fearing lest by the continual grants of the Subsidy of Woolls the same would grow in cu∣stom, and so be challenged by the King as of right; for avoiding where∣of, the Lords and Commons granted to the King the like Subsidy of Woolls and Staple-wares as lastly was granted,* 1.678 from the Feast of the Circumcision of our Lord then ensuing, until Candlemas then follow∣ing

so as the space between Christmas and the Circumcision, should be [unspec 41] an interruption to the Kings claim aforesaid, if it were attempted.

[unspec 42] Whereupon were openly read the pardons granted,* 1.679 whereof the Commons were greatly joyous, and gave the King thanks.

A goodly President of a Commission granted by Parliament for stay of Riots,* 1.680 Insurrections, and Rebellions.

[unspec 43] [unspec 44] The Mainprisors of Sir Ralph Ferrens knight, expressed in the last Parliament, tit. 24. bring forth, and desire to be discharged of their Mainprize,* 1.681 and Sir Ralph being received into the Kings protection, and so set at large,* 1.682 Richard Clynedon Esquire, by his Bill exhibited to the King in Parliament, accuseth Sir William Cogan knight,* 1.683 for that the said Sir William with other his accomplices of the Town of Bridge∣water should by menaces extort of the Prior of S. Iohn of Ierusalem the sum of two hundred pound for, and in the name of a Fine, and one hundred pound by Obligation, the which he offereth to try by the Combate with the said Sir William.

[unspec 45] The same Sir William being in Parliament requireth Councel for that he was unlearned,* 1.684 the which was denied, for the case touched Treason; whereupon after advice with certain of his friends, he in per∣son making request that he might at any time correct and amend any his answers, pleaded not culpable, and to be tried by his County, whereupon in the end of the Parliament both parties were adjourned before the Justices of the Common Law, for what attained to the Law.

[unspec 46] The Major,* 1.685 Bailiffs, and Commonalty of Cambridge were accused for that they in the late tumults, and uproars, confederates with other mis-doers, brake up the Treasury of the University of Cambridge, and there took and burned sundry of the Charters of the University, and also compelled the Chancellor and Schollers of the said University under their common Seal to release to the said Major and Burgesses all manner of Liberties, and also all actions reall and personal, and further to be bound to them in great sums of money, whereupon it was agreed in form following:

That one Writ should be directed to the Major,* 1.686 Bailiffs, and Com∣monalty (that now were) to appear in the Parliament, and to answer, the form whereof doth there appear.

[unspec 47] And that another Writ in form aforesaid should be directed to the Ma∣jor, * 1.687 and Bailiffs (that then were) the form whereof doth there also appear.

[unspec 48] The Major and Bailiffs (which then were) appeared in proper person, * 1.688 and pleaded not guilty in writing thereunto, the Commonalty by their Attornies appeared at the day.

[unspec 49] The Major and Bailiffs (that before were) appeared also in proper per∣son, and the said Major answered,* 1.689 that he was not privie to any such act, but only by the compulsion of the other, if any thing were therein done, the which the learned Councel did disprove.

[unspec 50] The Burgesses of Cambridge delivered into the Parliament the said two deeds,* 1.690 sealed by the Chancellor and Schollers.

[unspec 51] That one deed containing a release of all Liberties and Priviledges * 1.691

with a bond of Three thousand pounds, to release all such suits against the said Burgesses.

[unspec 52] * 1.692The other was a Release of all Actions real and personal, as there doth appear.

[unspec 53] * 1.693After the restitution and redelivering of which two Deeds, they both were commanded to be cancelled for the causes aforesaid.

[unspec 54] After that, the Chancellor and Scholars aforesaid by way of Petition,* 1.694 and in form of sundry Articles exhibited, shewed the beginning and whole discourse of the Mayor and Bailiffs doings largely, there con∣tained.

[unspec 55] Upon reading of which Bill, it was demanded of the said Burgesses, what they could say wherefore their Liberties late by the King confirm∣ed,* 1.695 should not be seised into the Kings hands as forfeited? They re∣quire a Copy of the Bill, Council, and respite to answer.

[unspec 56] To the Copy of the Bill it was answered,* 1.696 That since they heard the same, it should suffice; for by Law they ought to have no Copy. To Council it was said, That wherein Council was to be had, it should: Wherefore they then were pointed to answer to no crime or offence, but only touching their Liberties.

[unspec 57] * 1.697After many dilatory shifts, the said Burgesses touching their Liberties only, in the end submitted themselves to the Kings mercy and grace, saving their answers to all other matters.

[unspec 58] The King thereupon by common consent of Parliament seised the said Liberties into his hands as forfeited.* 1.698

[unspec 59] And after granted to the Chancellor and Scholars aforesaid within the aforesaid Town of Cambridge and suburbs of the same,* 1.699 the affise, cognisance, and correction of Bread, all Weights, Measures, Regrators and Forestallers, with the Fines and Amerciaments of the same, yielding therefore yearly at the Exchequer Ten pounds, Vide R. 2. tit. 11.

[unspec 60] * 1.700And the rest of the Liberties he granted to the said Mayor and Bailiffs, yielding therefore yearly the Feefarm of An hundred and one marks, and Four marks of increase over and above the same, at the Exchequer aforesaid.

[unspec 61] William de Burcestor knight,* 1.701 and Margaret his wife, late the wife of Sir Bartholmew Burcester knight, sheweth by a long Bill, how Sir Thomas Hungerford knight was enfeoffed by the said Bartholmew of the Manor of High-Tresbury, Steart, and Colon in the County of Wilts, and of certain Lands in Wales, to the end a refeoffment should be made of the same to the said Bartholmew and Margaret, and the heirs of the said Bartholmew, and how by the Council of the said Thomas the same was done accordingly; and that the said Thomas should notwith∣standing inform the Lady le Dispencer, the daughter and heir of the said Bartholmew, that the said Bartholmew should be disseised of the premisses, and thereby should procure the said Lady to enter upon the premisses: And further, that the said Thomas had bought the Mannor of High-Tresbury of the said Lady, and therefore prayeth remedy.

[unspec 62] The same Sir Thomas upon warning cometh into the Parliament, and by his answer traverseth every point,* 1.702 and seemeth very well to avoid the same.

[unspec 63] The names of all such as were excepted out of the Pardon, being the principal Leaders of the late Insurrection,* 1.703 being many in number, but no Gentlemen or other of name.

[unspec 64] For that Christmas approached,* 1.704 for the preparation of the Queens Coronation and other weighty affairs, on the 15 of December the Par∣liament was adjourned untill the Friday next before the Convention of S. Paul then following.

The Reassembly of the Parliament,* 1.705 after the Adjournment.

[unspec 65] THe same Friday, for that some of the Lords were not come, the Parliament was adjourned until Monday next ensuing.* 1.706 The same Monday the Bishops and Lords came into the Parliament, where the Commons making rehearsal of their former proceedings, required remedy.

[unspec 66] The Duke of Lancaster offered in Parliament,* 1.707 that so as the Realm would lend him Sixty thousand pounds, he would enterprise to enter into Portugal and Spain, and rescue the English-men, keep the sea, and seek to conquer their right; and would further bind himself and his lands to repay the same in the year in money or service, so as he were sound of body, and out of prison: Whereof was great dispute and alter∣cation on both sides. Look 6 R. 2. tit. 13.

[unspec 67] The Lords and Commons grant unto the King the Subsidy of Wools and Staple-wares, in such wise as was lately granted,* 1.708 for four years from the Nativity of S. Iohn Baptist then ensuing, to be imployed upon the Wars,* 1.709 and Voyage of the said Duke; and that the King will do things according to the advice of his Council.* 1.710 By whose advice they grant, for the saving of his credit and profit, he may for a time transport his Staple-ware to any other place besides Calice,* 1.711 any Grant to the con∣trary notwithstanding.

[unspec 68] The Commons require, that if any League be taken with the Enemy, * 1.712 that then the Grant and profit arising thereby may be laid up for the ease of the Commons. They also require that the Commons may for a time be eased of Taxes.

[unspec 69] It is enacted, That all Deeds, Feoffments and Conveyances what∣soever made by menaces in the last Insurrection should be void,* 1.713 and that no man do enter into any lands or tenements, but where lawfully he may.

[unspec 70] And not with force or multitude of people,* 1.714 upon pain of imprison∣ment or fine.* 1.715

Anno Sexto Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster in the Octaves of Saint Michaell, in the 6^th. year of K. Richard 2^d.

[unspec 1] THe Monday in the Octaves of St. Michaell, being the first day of the Parliament, sundry of the Lords and Bishops came into the painted Chamber,* 1.769 looking of long for the other Lords and Commons: but for that sundrie Sheriffs had not returne•• their Writs:* 1.770 the Parliament was adjourned untill Wed∣nesday after.

[unspec 2] On which Wednesday the King with most of the Bishops and Lords came into the Chamber depinct,* 1.771 where every of the Com∣mons were by their names called in before the Bishop of London,* 1.772 Chancellor of England,* 1.773 who by the Kings commandement pro∣nounced the causes of the Parliament for three points.* 1.774

The first for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church.* 1.775

[unspec 3] The second for observation of the peace, laws,* 1.776 and usages.

[unspec 4] [unspec 5] The third for the good governance of the Realm,* 1.777 and of the Dominions of the same: as against misdoers, defence of the North∣marches towards Scotland: defence of the Territories beyond the Seas,* 1.778 for the safetie of Ireland, and Gascoyn:* 1.779 for succouring of the Kings subjects in Portugal, for the keeping of the Seas, and for the charge about the same, whereon he wisheth throughly to con∣sult.

Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

Receivers of Petitions for Gascoine••, and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isles.* 1.780

[unspec 6] Tryers of Petitions for England &c. as above.

Tryers of Petitions for Gascoine &c. as above.* 1.781

[unspec 7] [unspec 8] At this time commandement was given that all persons and E∣states, should return the next day to hear the cause of the Parlia∣ment [unspec 9] more fully uttered.* 1.782

[unspec 10] The Thursday after, being the next day, the Bishop of Here∣ford by the Kings commandement declared the cause more fully,* 1.783 saying, that four things did chiefly encourage to adventure on that thing, which they desired to atchieve: whereof two appertained not to the proof, viz. to Array, and not Array: the other two were, Doubt,* 1.784 and Hope,* 1.785 as Doubt caused dismaying and fear, so Hope caused honour to be atchieved.

[unspec 11] He then setteth forth before them, the miserable nakedness of the Realm,* 1.786 as round beset with enemies,* 1.787 and such not like to be con∣quered, if doubt or negligence possessed mens hearts.

[unspec 12] [unspec 13] For hope to be had for resisting this he sheweth to be by two means, viz. the one was with allyance with the Flemmings,* 1.788 who offered their service to the King against his enemies.

* 1.789The other was, the offer of the Duke of Lancaster for the conquest of Portugal and Spain, so as the Realm would lend him but 60000 l. which he would pay according to his offer made in the last Parliament.* 1.790

* 1.791He willed them to consult how money to the least loss of the Commons may be raysed for the enterprizing of these two voya∣ges of Flanders and Spain,* 1.792 or at the least of the one of them, viz. Spain, whereto all men should much the more be encouraged, and have good hope, considering that by two Croiseris,* 1.793 the one gran∣ted to the Duke of Lancaster against Spain, the other to the Bishop of Norwich against the Anti-Pope,* 1.794 and all his accompl••ces: the Pope hath thereby granted to all such as went, sought, or dyed in the quarrell, full remission of all their sins.

The Commons having this their charge,* 1.795 departed towards their place in the Abbey at Westminster, but before they did any thing therein, they made request to have certain especiall Lords by name assigned unto them,* 1.796 with whom they might consult; the which was granted, their names then appearing.

[unspec 15] After this, the Lords and Commons granted to the King one fifteenth,* 1.797 and one Tenth out of the Cities and Towns, to be levy∣ed in such wise as the last grant was, and no otherwise, to be imploy∣ed upon the defence of the Realm,* 1.798 as to the King by the advise of his Councell,* 1.799 and Lords of the Realm should seem good.

[unspec 16] Thomas Feedon, Richard Moory, and Richard Dell, as principall doers in the late insurrection,* 1.800 and namely for burning and destroy∣ing the house and Mannours of the Order of St. Iohn of Ierusalem in England, are excepted out of the pardon, and therefore their names were delivered into the Kings Bench,* 1.801 that the like process might be made against them, as against other Traytors.* 1.802

[unspec 17] Iohn Hene of London, Iohn Battail, and Thomas Battail, with Sir Michaell Dagworth Kt. do in the Parliamemt wholly submit themselves to the order of the King and his Councel,* 1.803 touching their long suit sustained in the Kings Bench for the mannour of Bradwell in Essex.

[unspec 18] The King by assent of the Parliament, for the fine of a thousand Marks, having granted to the Citizens of York, pardon of all Trea∣sons,* 1.804 Felonies, &c.

[unspec 19] The like pardon he granteth to the Burgesses, and Commonal∣tie of Scarbourgh,* 1.805 for 900. Marks fine,* 1.806 whereof the Commonaltie 400. Marks, and forty of the best Burgesses of the same Town: the other 500. Marks except Robert Aolam, and Robert Killington, who for their severall Fines were also pardoned.* 1.807

* 1.808The King granteth the like pardon to the Burgesses of Beverley, for the fine of 1100 Marks, except persons there named.

A pardon to Adam Perkin of Homeson,* 1.809 for the death of William Clarke of Winslow, for the fine of 10. Marks.

[unspec 20] A pardon to Ralph Fitz-Iohn of Aston,* 1.810 for murdering his wife Agnes in Ashton wood.

A pardon to the Citizens of York.* 1.811

[unspec 21] A pardon to the Burgesses of Scarborow. * 1.812

[unspec 22] [unspec 23] It is enacted that the Staple at Callice may be removed from thence to any other Town,* 1.813 and to provide such orders there∣fore as to the King and his Councell shall seem meet. * 1.814

The Lords being required by the King to shew their fantasies touching the Duke of Lancasters offer for the assayling of Spain,* 1.815 as is aforesaid, do think the same very good and honourable, but to the number levying but two thousand men at Armes, and so many Archers, they think very small.

[unspec 45] [unspec 46] * 1.857The print touching Ravishers Cap. 6. agrees with the Record in part,* 1.858 but not altogether; for that the print in sundry points con∣taineth more than is in the Record (quod nota.)

* 1.859For sundry causes in the Record alledged, the Commons require, that the King would allow to the Bishop of Norwich a cer∣tain

Army and Provision therefore for the Invasion of France,* 1.860 considering that the said Bishop, hath the Popes Grosarie to pro∣secute the Anti-Pope,* 1.861 and all his adherents, of whom the French were chief.* 1.862

[unspec 52] The King revoketh the Statute made in the last Parliament,* 1.877 tit. 17. and the 5. Chapter in the Print touching Preachers upon the words of the Commons being this; Forasmuch as the same Statute was never assented, nor granted by the Commons, but that which was therein done: for it was never their meaning to be justi∣fied, and bind themselves, and their Successors to the Prelates,* 1.878 no more than their Ancestors have done before them.

[unspec 53] The King at the request of the Commons enacteth,* 1.879 that no man from henceforth doeth transport any Corne out of the Land other than to Callice,* 1.880 Gascoyn, Brest, Shirburgh, and Barwick on forfeiting of the same.* 1.881 And that no loading be granted to the con∣trary, and that such as have Licence be bound to the same.

[unspec 57] Among these Bills mention was made, to have some remedy against Usurie,* 1.885 Usurers, and Brokers.

[unspec 59] * 1.891Upon the exhibition of the last Bills by the Mayor, and Alder∣men of London as is aforesaid, aswell the said Mayor, and Alder∣men, as most of the Fishmongers were at the reading of the same Bill in the Parliament,* 1.892 at what time one Nicholas Exton, who spake for the Fishmongers, prayed the King to receive him and his Com∣pany into his protection,* 1.893 so as no Corporall hurt come to them.

[unspec 60] Thereupon it was commanded to either parties, that they should keep the Peace the one towards the other,* 1.894 on pain of loosing all that they had.

[unspec 61] This done, one Walter Sibell a Fishmonger started up,* 1.895 and re∣quired audience, which granted, he began to crow, that those de∣vises were not exhibited for any good zeale to the Common∣wealth, but for meer malice born to the Fishmongers, for that the chief exhibiters being in the time of King E. 3. condemned to pri∣son for sundry their misdemeanors, were so imprisoned by cer∣tain of the Fishmongers, then being chief officers in London, for which cause malice was to that time.* 1.896

[unspec 62] To that one Iohn Moore a Mercer answered, that the Citizens of London meant to keep the Peace towards them,* 1.897 unless they went about to let into the said City the Rebels of Kent and Essex,* 1.898 as the said Walter, and others did lately.

Walter took advantage of these words, and desired the Lords to bear witness.

* 1.899Moore hereupon expounded his words, saying, as the re∣port went, and prayed that the same might be enquired of, which was granted.

Anno Sexto Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Westminster the Munday in the third week in Lent, An. 6. RICHARDI. 2.

[unspec 1] * 1.900THe same Munday being the 24. of February certain Bishops, and Lords assembled in the place accustomed in the Palace of Westminster, and for that it was reported to them, that sundry Sheriffs had not returned their Writs,* 1.901 the Parliament by the

Kings Commandement was adjourned to the next day.

[unspec 2] The same Tuesday following the King with the Bishops, Lords, and Commons assembled in the Parliament, before whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London, and Chancellor of England,* 1.902 by the Kings Commandement, declared the cause of the Parlia∣ment to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church,* 1.903 and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm.

[unspec 3] He then remembring them of that their ayde,* 1.904 granted in the last Parliament, and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders, for the voyage of the French,* 1.905 sheweth, that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came, how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders,* 1.906 except the town of Gaunt,* 1.907 and that upon the same tydings, the King called a great Councell at Westminster,* 1.908 by which it was determined, that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt, if safely with his honour he might so do;* 1.909 And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult,* 1.910 whether it were best for the King to go in person, or to send an Army:* 1.911 and for mony to maintain the same,* 1.912 with the Circumstances thereto belonging; the which he willed them fully to digest, and to make speedy answer.

[unspec 4] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.913 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 5] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isls.

[unspec 6] Tryers of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 7] Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyn, &c. as above.

[unspec 8] After the Commons had debated two daies of the same charge,* 1.914 they besought the King to assign to them certain Lords,* 1.915 there na∣med to consult with them, which was granted, albeit it were at the election of the King to assign these Lords,* 1.916 or others at his plea∣sure.

[unspec 9] This done after long deliberation of the Commons of the rates aforesaid,* 1.917 they came into the Parliament before the Kings presence and the Lords, when Sir Iames Pickering Knight, then Speaker after the Common Protestation made saith;* 1.918 That albeit the same their consultation did properly appertain unto the King and Lords,* 1.919 yet since it stood with their pleasures to charge the Commons therewith,* 1.920 their conceit was, that it had been best for the King in person to have enterprized a voyage,* 1.921 which for that it could not for sundry reasons be, they thought it best that the Bishop of Norwich,* 1.922 having the Popes Crosary for persecuting the Anti-Pope,* 1.923 his adherents should take upon him the quarrell against the French,* 1.924 whereof was hope of good success, he saith further, that considering the Scots were so lusty,* 1.925 that they would not agree to any reasonable league,* 1.926 whereby we are like to have war,* 1.927 which to us was accounted most dangerous, they thought that the King,* 1.928 or his Uncles of Lancaster, Cambridge, or Buckingham, might not in any wise be spared out of the Realm, untill with Scotland some

certain order were taken, the which they spake not by way of Coun∣sell,* 1.929 but to shew their advise:* 1.930 whereto for the King was said, a little difference to be between Counsell and advise.

[unspec 11] The proffer of the Bishop of Norwich to the King,* 1.931 and Lords in the beginning of the Parliament was so, as the King would g••ant to him the whole 15 th. and 10 th. granted in the last Parliament, with the 6 d. of every pound Merchandize,* 1.932 and 2 s. of every Tun of Wine lately granted for the safe keeping of the Seas:* 1.933 he would in seasonable time of the year furnish, and send into France 3000. men at Armes,* 1.934 and 3000. Archers, of whom 500. men at Armes, and 500 Archers should be appointed to keep the Sea;* 1.935 and further, that if he might have the West-Admirall to attend,* 1.936 he would be∣fore March ensuing, appoint for the defence of the Sea great Ships of War,* 1.937 and Barges well appointed.

Petitions of the Commons, with their Answers.

[unspec 12] * 1.938IT is enacted, that the Liberties of the Church, the great Char∣ter,* 1.939 and Charter of the Forrest be maintained.

[unspec 13] * 1.940That for the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize, and ii s. of every tun of Wine, the Seas may be well kept.* 1.941

[unspec 14] The Chancellor, and other Officers there named, shall provide as speedie remedie as may be.* 1.942

[unspec 15] That the King will provide for the defence of the Marches of Scotland,* 1.943 and namely for Barwick, and Carlile,* 1.944 and that some truce or peace may be taken.

The Duke of Lancaster, and other Lords are sent thither of pur∣pose to take order therein.* 1.945

[unspec 16] * 1.946That the Statute of Purveyors may be observed,* 1.947 and that ready payment may be made.* 1.948

The Statute therefore made shall be observed.

* 1.949That the most approved wisemen may be chose to be chief Officers for the governance of the Realm,* 1.950 that their names might be known to the Parliament, and they not removed without good cause.

The King by advise of his Lords,* 1.951 shall appoint such Officers as shall like him, whom he meaneth not to remove before the next Parliament.

[unspec 18] The print touching the pardon;* 1.952 Cap. 1. far swerveth from the Record.

[unspec 19] * 1.953That able men may be appointed to be of Counsell about the Kings Person,* 1.954 and that an order may be taken for the Kings houshold,* 1.955 so as he may live upon his own.* 1.956

The King therein will be advised of his Lords,* 1.957 and take such orders as may be for his honour.

At the request of the Commons it is enacted, that the Citie of

London shall injoy all such liberties as they had in the time of King [unspec 20] E. 3. or as were to them confirmed by the King now,* 1.958 saving to all Strangers their Liberties confirmed,* 1.959 and saving that Victuallers should have no particular Liberties by themselves,* 1.960 but to be under the rule of the Major.

[unspec 21] In short time after the Bishop of Norwich had advised himself, * 1.961 he came before the King and Lords, and offered•• so as the King would allow to him the fifteenth last granted by the Commons, he would serve the King one whole year in his wars within France,* 1.962 with 3000. men at Armes, and 2500. Archers well horsed, and ap∣pointed, the which offer was thought to be very good, and for the Kings honour: but for that the King would not adventure any of his Subjects,* 1.963 unless he knew who should be Chieftain,* 1.964 or Lievete∣nant, considering the Bishops profession was to the contrary, he required to know who they should be: the Bishop would not that declare, unless the King did assent to his offer; saying, that if it were his pleasure so to do, they then should be as ready and worthy persons as any were within the Realm, his own person, and others of the bloud excepted.

[unspec 22] The King accepteth his offer,* 1.965 whereupon the Bishop gave him four names of them, willing him to chose one such for his Lievete∣nant as he thought good;* 1.966 After the view of whom the King would not seem to choose any Nobleman,* 1.967 whereby it was assented, that if the Bishop could not of his own accord agree with any Nobleman for his Lievetenant, that then the Bishop should take upon him the charge, and generall lycense was granted to all men to pass on with the same Bishop,* 1.968 except the retinew of the King, and other No∣bles.

[unspec 23] After this the Commons desired the King to grant audience to the Lord de la War,* 1.969 who was lately arrived from Spain, and was to declare how the King might come to an honourable peace with Spain,* 1.970 the which they much desired; whereto was an answer made, that the King would advise with his Councell,* 1.971 and therein do what should appertain to his honour.* 1.972

The Parliament holden at WESTMINSTER, the Monday next before the Feast of All-Saints in the seventh year of King RICHARD the 2.

[unspec 1] * 1.973THe same Monday being the 25. of October, sundrie of the Bishops and Lords being assembled, looked for the coming of the others, but for that sundrie of them were not come, and the Sheriffs had not returned their Writs,* 1.974 the Parliament was adjourned untill the next day ensuing.

* 1.975The Thursday after being the next day, the Bishops, Lords, and others of the upper-House came into the Parliament, in the Cham∣ber de-pinct at Westminst. whereunto all the Knights and Burgesses were in the presence of the King called by name,* 1.976 at which time Sir Michaell de la Poole Knight, being Chancellor,* 1.977 began first to

excuse his unworthiness to that place,* 1.978 and declared that he was forced thereto, which done he sheweth the cause of the Parliament to be as followeth.* 1.979

[unspec 3] For that the great Truce with the Scots was to end at Candlemas ensuing,* 1.980 for which cause the Duke of Lancaster being sent into Scotland, was returned with answer, that the Scots would send to London certain that should intreate therein, as well for such Peace,* 1.981 if it might succeed, as for preparation of War;* 1.982 which more was doubted, was the first cause of consultation.

[unspec 4] Another cause was, for that the King was to prepare also against three mighty and mortall enemies,* 1.983 Spain,* 1.984 France,* 1.985 and lately Flanders.* 1.986

[unspec 5] Here then he proved by many reasons, that it was better for us to assail,* 1.987 then to be assailed; to seek them at home, than to suffer them to come to us, and that it would so be manifestly shewed: fur∣ther proving, that they must not lay the cause of these wars to the King, considering that with the Crown the Wars descended to the King also.* 1.988

[unspec 6] Lastly he sheweth another cause to be, for the maintenance of good Laws,* 1.989 and preservation of the Peace,* 1.990 and also in his former matter he remembreth them for giving ayd to the King,* 1.991 for the supportation of these his great charges.

[unspec 7] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.992 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 8] Receivors of Petitions for Gascoygn, and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isls.

[unspec 9] Tryars of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 10] Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

[unspec 11] After this the Chancellor declared, the King charged the Lords by their selves,* 1.993 and the Commons by themselves to consult about these weighty matters, and for mony to serve his necessity,* 1.994 laying in the mean time all other matters apart.

[unspec 12] The Lords and Commons granted unto the King, one fifteen to be levyed according to a Schedule enrolled.* 1.995

[unspec 13] The Schedule conteineth the grant of the fifteen, and of the payment, and of the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchan∣dize, and ii. s. of every Tun of Wine on these conditions,* 1.996 viz. That the Clergy shall grant the like for their parts,* 1.997 and that all estates whatsoever be contributary thereto.* 1.998 And that the service of the Bishop of Norwich,* 1.999 and of his Captains with the treasure by them received, not of them deserved, nor well imployed, may one∣ly be examined,* 1.1000 and imployed to the use of the King.

[unspec 14] The Earl of Northumberland promised for himself, and the Earl of Devonshire, Admirall of the West, safely to keep the Seas,* 1.1001 so far as the charge granted by the Commons therefore would serve, viz. of vi. d. of every pound of Merchandize,* 1.1002 and ii. s. of every Tun of Wine.

[unspec 15] The Bishop of Norwich being accused for not doing his service according to promise,* 1.1003 and for receiving of severall summes,* 1.1004 as well on this side the Seas, as beyond, requireth respit to answer,* 1.1005 prote∣sting earnestly therein to shew his innocency,* 1.1006 and being charged particularly of the receipt of 10000. Francks of gold, for giving up the Castle of Graveling to the French,* 1.1007 he fully purgeth him∣self thereof, And in repeating the matter it fell out, that 5000. Francks of Gold given for the said Castle, were in the hands of Sir Robert Farmers man,* 1.1008 who, charged in Parliament, confesseth the having thereof, but maketh a fair excuse for the secret taking: wherefore he was committed to prison untill he made payment thereof,* 1.1009 and untill further order for his enlargement were taken.

[unspec 16] At that time Proclamation was made,* 1.1010 that all such as had re∣ceived any mony beyond the Seas of the enemy,* 1.1011 or of any other, for any cause other than for due wages,* 1.1012 should the next day bring the same into the Chancery,* 1.1013 or else to be taken as Traytors; this Pro∣clamation was made the sixteenth of November.

[unspec 17] Bryars Crossingham, and Iohn Spickworth Esquires, were accu∣sed for surrendring the Castle of Drinckham in Flanders to the Kings enemies for money,* 1.1014 without the assent of the Kings Lieute∣nant; There Spickworth proveth that the same was not in his keep∣ing, and thereby was discharged. Crossingham answered, that he yeilded the same upon necessity without money,* 1.1015 and submitteth himself to their order: this was thought no good cause, and there∣fore he was committed to prison.* 1.1016

[unspec 18] The Chancellor in open Parliament charged the Bishop of Nor∣wich with four chief points,* 1.1017 viz. First, where he promised the King to serve him with a certain number for one whole year, he had served but half a year,* 1.1018 and yet returned with his host spoyled. The second, he promised to muster and shew his Armie at Callice,* 1.1019 which also was not done, and failed of his number.* 1.1020 The third, for that in the last Parliament it was agreed, that the King of Castile, or some of the Kings Uncles, should have gone as Generall for the honour of the Realm,* 1.1021 the same was not done, and thereupon the voyage was lost, for that upon the Bishops promise as good a Generall was promised. The fourth, for that the King appointed to have chosen some other temporall Lords,* 1.1022 or a sufficient Generall, the which was not done, because the Bishop took upon him the same, whereby great villanies, and other displeasures came.

[unspec 19] * 1.1023The Bishop answered, that albeit in this case he ought to have Counsell,* 1.1024 yet making his Protestation,* 1.1025 that he might all times avoid his answer, he answered in person as followeth.

* 1.1026To the first, his Commission was to go speedily to the res∣cue of Gaunt,* 1.1027 the which he did, and this done as well the Gran∣toys, as his own Captains, thought it best to besiege the town of Ipre,* 1.1028 about which he losing many of his men by dint of Sword, and Diseases,* 1.1029 he could not any longer do any good, and therefore upon advice he removed.

To the second, the speed which he made towards Gaunt,* 1.1030 caused him to make no muster at Callice.* 1.1031

To the third, he had good Captains,* 1.1032 though not of the best, and the Lord Nevill might have had by his own offer, but that the King denyed him License the last Parliament.

To the fourth, he refused no Lieutenant at the Kings hands,* 1.1033 onely the King writing to the Bishop beyond the Seas touching a Generall,* 1.1034 he therefore gave great thanks to the King for his great care of him, and his, and that otherwise he refused none, as by his Letters may appear.

[unspec 20] The Chancellor replyed,* 1.1035 taking advantage of the Bishops an∣swer in the end, and said, that the Bishops answer seemed to the King and Lords no sufficient excuse,* 1.1036 for without his Imprisonment,* 1.1037 for what is contained in these four Articles, he ought to make Fine,* 1.1038 and ransome at the Kings pleasure, by seizing of the Tempo∣ralities of his Bishoprick when the King should please.* 1.1039

[unspec 21] The Bishop after this, was willed to declare such as were waged to serve him one year,* 1.1040 to the end they might serve the King in o∣ther places,* 1.1041 to accomplish their promise. Thereto the Bishop an∣swered, that upon the delivery of Sir Robert Hulmer his Clarke and Treasurer,* 1.1042 he would do so: Sir Robert was delivered, and two severall dayes at the Bishops intreaty appointed for the case.

[unspec 22] At the last the Bishop began to answer to the four Articles in manner aforesaid,* 1.1043 with somewhat adjoyned for his Purgation.* 1.1044

[unspec 23] The Chancellor by replication disproveth the Bishop,* 1.1045 and con∣cludeth, although the King might pass on the Bishop,* 1.1046 as on a tem∣porall Lord, by reason that he took upon him, to serve him as a Souldier, and had the Sword carried before him, contrary to his profession: yet for that time the King would spare to lay hands on his person, for his Imprisonment, but for his other defaults, and villanies, the Lords by assent of the Parliament had adjudged him to make Fine,* 1.1047 and ransome at the Kings pleasure, whereto he should be compelled by the seizure of his temporalities:* 1.1048 and it was commanded him from thenceforth no longer to have the sword carried before him.

[unspec 24] Sir William Elinsham, Sir Thomas Trevit, Sir Henry de Ferrers, and Sir William de Hurnedon Knights,* 1.1049 were openly accused in Par∣liament before the Lords, for receiving divers severall summes, for giving up of Holds and Fortresses without the assent of the King, or his Generall,* 1.1050 together with one Robert Fitz-Raph; the summes particularly layed to their charge, amounted in the whole to 20000. Francks of Gold. They all made certain fained excu∣ses,* 1.1051 and submitted themselves to the Kings mercy.* 1.1052

[unspec 25] The said Chancellor replyed,* 1.1053 and gave judgement•• that they all should pay to the King of what they had received, and remain in prison untill they had made Fine and ransome with the King,

and with them Sir William Harnedon was committed to prison, his body and goods to be at the Kings pleasure.

The Parliament holden at Salisbury on the Friday next after St. Mark the Evangelist, in the se∣venth year of K. Richard the 2.

[unspec 1] THe same Fryday being the 20 th. of April, for that the Duke of Lancaster and other Lords were not returned from the North,* 1.1145 and for that also certain Sheriffs had not re∣turned their Writs;* 1.1146 the Parliament was adjourned untill the Wed∣nesday following, and in the mean time the Commons were willed to go together to chose their Speaker.

[unspec 2] The same Wednesday the Parliament was continued untill Thurs∣day following.

[unspec 3] * 1.1147The same Thursday the King in person, with all the Bishops and Lords, except such as were with the Duke of Lancaster in Scotland, and the Commons which were assembled in the great Hall of the Bishop of Salisbury in Salisbury, therefore richly hanged, and dressed; Sr. Michaell de la Poole, Lord Chancellor of England,* 1.1148 by the Kings commandement declared the cause of the Parliament.* 1.1149

[unspec 4] First, for the maintenance of the Liberties of the Church,* 1.1150 ob∣servations of the Laws,* 1.1151 and preservation of the Peace.

The Second, for treatie of Peace between him and the French:* 1.1152 whereof with opportunity he was to shew to them certain Articles, wherein although the King of himself might well conclude,* 1.1153 yet for good will he would not without their knowledg, and con∣sent.

* 1.1154He sheweth that if the Peace take effect, yet cannot the same be concluded without the meeting of both Princes, which for his Ho∣nour requireth no small charge; Besides, the King hath spent much,* 1.1155 and daily must more, for the defence against the Scots,* 1.1156 for saving his Peeres beyond the Seas, and for the safetie of Guienne and Ire∣land:* 1.1157 the which how the same should be born, he chargeth them of their allegiance to consult,* 1.1158 and give answer.

[unspec 6] [unspec 7] * 1.1159Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne, and other Places beyond the Seas, and of the Isles.

[unspec 7] Tryars of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 8] Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

[unspec 9] The Monday the 10 th. of May, the Commons assembled,* 1.1160 beseeching the King to grant to them for conference,* 1.1161 certain Lords and Nobles there named, which was granted.

[unspec 10] After that, the Duke of Lancaster with other Nobles were retur∣ned, the Commons besought the King to grant to them the same Duke,* 1.1162 and his two Brothers of Cambridg and Buckingham.

After this, the Lords and Commons granted to the King, a moitie of a tenth,* 1.1163 and of a fifteenth of the laitie: providing further, that if Wars with France and Scotland did continue,* 1.1164 that then the King should have the other moitie of a 15 th. so as the Clergie do pay thereto according to the rate,* 1.1165 and so as if Peace be taken, the last moitie to cease.

[unspec 11] Iohn Ca••endish Fishmonger of London made his complaint first to the Commons,* 1.1166 and after to the Lords in full Parliament, requiring, first, that he might have Surety of the Peace granted a∣gainst Sir Michaell de la Pool Knight,* 1.1167 Chancellor of England, the which was granted, and Sureties for the Peace for the said Chan∣cellor; his Sureties were the Earls of Stafford, and Salisbury.* 1.1168

[unspec 12] That done, Cavendish sheweth, that he having a weighty suit de∣pending before the said Chancellor against other Merchants,* 1.1169 and breaking with one Iohn Otier a Clarke of the said Chancellors for good success, Otier undertooke he should be well heard, so he would give him 10 l. for his travell; Cavendish himself became bound to Otier therefore, and shortly brought Herring and fresh Sturgion to Otier in part of payment; which rehearsed, he would not charge the Chancellor withall, but left the Lords to judg thereof:* 1.1170 only he said, that by the Chancellor he was delayed,* 1.1171 and could have no Justice at his hands;* 1.1172 And further he saith, that at a time past the Chancellor caused him to be paid for his Fish,* 1.1173 and his Obligation to be cancelled, but whether of conscience he leaveth it to the Lords Judgment.

[unspec 13] The Chancellor first before the Lords, and then before the Lords and Commons affirmed himself to be innocent,* 1.1174 and for de∣lay, and not doing Justice objected against him: he avouched the Justices and Serjants that were at the hearing of the cause:* 1.1175 to the rest he said that in accompting with his Servants and Officers, he bolted out the said Herring and Sturgion to have come as a cheat, and understood also of the Obligation;* 1.1176 whereat being greatly mo∣ved, he sent for Cavendish, and ripping up of the matter, caused him to be paid for the Fish, and his Obligation to be cancelled, Swearing by the Sacrament of JESUS CHRIST, that he was not otherwise witting, but altogether ignorant.

[unspec 14] Hereupon Otier being sent for and examined,* 1.1177 swore that the Chancellor was never privie thereunto; And the parties adverse of the said Cavendish upon their Oaths affirmed, that they never

gave any reward to the said Chancellor.

* 1.1178Whereupon the said Chancellor required his remedy against the said Fishmonger for the same so great a Slander; Te Lords therefore troubled with other waighty matters, let the said Fish∣monger to bail,* 1.1179 to answer the said Chancellor, and committed the matter to be ordered by the Justices.* 1.1180

[unspec 15] [unspec 16] In a Schedule thereto annexed is contained, that Sir Robert Tressillian, chief Justice of the Kings Bench, Robert Belknap, chief Justice of the Common Pleas, with other Justices and Counsellors hearing this whole matter, condemned the said Fishmonger Ca∣vendish in a 1000. Marks for his slanderous complaint against the said Chancellor,* 1.1181 and his body adjudged to prison untill he had paid the 1000. Marks,* 1.1182 and made Fine and Ransome to the King also.* 1.1183

* 1.1184The Commons for answer to Peace,* 1.1185 said; that it beseemed them not to intermeddle with their Counsel therein, and therefore refer∣reth the whole order thereof to the King and his Councell.

[unspec 17] The Commons were urged to know, whether they desired Peace of War,* 1.1186 for one must they chose: They answered, an honourable Peace for the King; but for that in the Articles were contained ma∣ny terms of the Civill-Law,* 1.1187 which they understood not;* 1.1188 and for that as they understood, the Articles were, that the King should have Guienne of the French by homage and service,* 1.1189 they knew not what to say; only they hope that the King meant not to hold Callice, and other Terrytories gotten by Sword of the French.

[unspec 18] Whereto was said, that otherwise Peace could not be granted, and therefore willed the Commons to chose Peace or War, who in the end rather desired Peace* 1.1190

[unspec 19] * 1.1191The Abbot of St. Edmonds Burie, by a long Bill sheweth how the men of the same Town were pardoned for their late Insurre∣ctions,* 1.1192 so as they did find sufficient Sureties for their good Beha∣viour to the Abbot,* 1.1193 and his Successors: and further sheweth that the Towns-men hitherto had shifted the same, and prayeth that they may enter into Recognizance for the same,* 1.1194 which condition they in Record expressed.

[unspec 20] * 1.1195The Prior and Covent of Montague being an Alien,* 1.1196 by their Petition declared how Sir William Seymor upon a Sciri Facias to execute a Fine for the Mannour of Omdu-Hall,* 1.1197 with the appurte∣nances in Somerset, brought against the said Prior, and Covent in the Kings Bench, recovered there the said Mannour. He sheweth further how the said Sciri Facias was purchased, hanging a Writ of right against the said Prior, to which Writ the said Prior appeared, and that the said Prior was over ruled to plead further, and no en∣trie thereof made; he further sheweth matter, and prayeth ayde of the King,* 1.1198 and it was over ruled without entrie thereof made: whereupon he beseecheth that the roll may be newly made, and amended,* 1.1199 & due entries made,* 1.1200 as in the roll is mentioned, which by the advise of the Justices, and others their learned Counsell

was granted and made, wherein for the Prothonotarie or Bean-pleader are goodly forms, and directions.

After which amendment and enrollment granted,* 1.1201 the said Pri∣or and Covent by a Petition sheweth the old matter, and Record; and for certain errors therein contained,* 1.1202 prayeth the Examination, and reversall of the said Judgment in Parliament, and his Sciri Fa∣cias framed upon the said case,* 1.1203 to warn the said Richard to appear at the next Parliament,* 1.1204 to abide the order of the same, and therein no protection be allowed for the said Richard:* 1.1205 and further that the old process and Record be at the same next Parliament: all which were granted.

Petitions of the Commons with their Answers.* 1.1206

[unspec 22] IT is enacted that the liberties of the Church, * 1.1207 the great Char∣ter,* 1.1208 and the Charter of the Forrest be maintained.* 1.1209

The King granteth thereunto, as long as thereby is good govern∣ment in the City.

[unspec 25] Sundry Countries pray the King to make an allowance to such as have been Sherriffs for such summes as they could not receive,* 1.1215 and that provision may be made for all such as shall succeed.* 1.1216

As in times past, the Chancellor and Treasurer may make al∣lowance,* 1.1217 and for the rest the King will provide.

[unspec 26] They require that the Statute made against Ravishers,* 1.1218 in the 6 th. year of this King,* 1.1219 may be revoked.

The Statute shall continue, saving to the King, and other Lords their forfeiture.* 1.1220

The Parliament holden at WESTMINSTER, the Saturday next after the Feast of Saint MARTIN in the eighth year of the raign of K. RICHARD the 2.

[unspec 1] THe same Saturday the Parliament for certain causes by the Commandement was adjourned untill Munday ensuing,* 1.1222 and on the same Munday it was adjourned untill Tuesday next follo∣wing for the like cause at the Kings Commandement.

[unspec 2] The same Tuesday before the King,* 1.1223 and Lords sitting, and the Knights,* 1.1224 and Burgesses standing, Sir Michael de la Poole Knight, Chancellor of England,* 1.1225 speaking much of the Kings great care,* 1.1226 towards the Church, Commons,* 1.1227 and Laws of England,* 1.1228 sheweth the same to be the chief cause of the Parliament.* 1.1229 Then rehearsing how the King had been environed with the French,* 1.1230 Spaniard,* 1.1231 Flemming,* 1.1232 and the Scots, who being confederate made great prepa∣rations to, &c. which were like to ensue, unless Politick advice were made to resist,* 1.1233 which was one other cause of this Parliament, ha∣ving these adjuncts how treasure might be gathered,* 1.1234 without which no resistance could be.

He shewed how for these Defences,* 1.1235 the King meant to hazard his own person to any perills whatsoever, that he might justly en∣courage all estates willingly to offer themselves, and what they had to such defence.

[unspec 4] Then he touched the treachery,* 1.1236 and falshood of the French, for that they, in the last Treaty of Peace at Callice,* 1.1237 persuading the English to decline there to departed from their own offers; a good cause of assurance for the English in so good a quarrell to look for Victorie.* 1.1238

[unspec 5] He then concludeth by shewing, that four means, or ways would greatly further•• yea and speed this Consultation. First, to be early in the House:* 1.1239 the second, to repell all Melancholly Passions;* 1.1240 the third, to begin at most needfull matters,* 1.1241 And then to direct with∣out mixture of any Orders.* 1.1242 And fourthly, to abandon all Maintai∣ning and partaking.* 1.1243

[unspec 6] Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 7] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn,* 1.1244 and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isls.

[unspec 8] Tryars of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 9] Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

[unspec 10] The Lords, and Commons granted to the King two Fifteens conditionally,* 1.1245 that the one Moitie of the Fifteen granted in the last Parliament may cease, and so as if the King go not in Person,* 1.1246 or that Peace be taken, then the last Fifteen may cease.

[unspec 11] Upon discourse between the Chancellor, and Schollers of Cam∣bridge,* 1.1247 and the Mayor and Bayliffs of the same, for the Kings Grant made to the Chancellor in the fifth year of this King tit. 59. the King explaineth his said Grant in two points,* 1.1248 viz. that the said Chancellor,* 1.1249 &c. shall have the delivery of the Bushell, half Bu∣shell, and the Peck, and the Groat for the Bushell; and every o∣ther measure after the rate.* 1.1250 And the said Chancellor shall by his or their proper Officer, Summon, attach Regrators,* 1.1251 and such of∣fenders of Victuals,* 1.1252 to appear, and answer such offences.

[unspec 12] Walter Sibell of London was arrested,* 1.1253 and brought into the Par∣liament before the Lords,* 1.1254 at the suit of Robert de Vere Earl of Ox∣ford,* 1.1255 for slandring him to the Duke of Lancaster,* 1.1256 and other No∣bles for Maintenance. The same Walter denyed not but that he said, that certain there named recovered against him the said Walter, and that by Maintenance of the said Earle,* 1.1257 as he thought. The said Earle being present affirmed himself to be innocent thereof,* 1.1258 and to be tryed. Walter thereupon was committed to prison,* 1.1259 and the next day humbly submitting himself,* 1.1260 he desired the Lords to be a meane for him, saying, that he could not accuse him: whereupon the Lords Convicted him to the Damage of 500. marks to the said Earl;* 1.1261 for the which, and for his Fine and Ransome,* 1.1262 he was com∣mitted to Prison.

[unspec 13] Alice the wife of Sir William Windsor Knight,* 1.1263 desired to have the Judgement and Order made against her, in the time of King E. 3. and the Judgement and Statute made against her in the first year of this King, to be repealed,* 1.1264 and that she may be restored to all her Lands and Tenements whatsoever.* 1.1265

* 1.1266The King repealeth those Orders,* 1.1267 Judgements, and Statutes, so as all Gifts, Grants, and Feoffments of any the Lands, Tene∣ments, or houses repealed may remain in force.

[unspec 14] The Prior of Montague rehearsed his matter contained in the last Parliament,* 1.1268 tit. 21. Sir Richard Seymore in proper person appeareth, upon the Sheriffs returne the old Record and process at large repeated,* 1.1269 wherein is a goodly forme of plea∣ding, worthy of all good Lawyers to be had by heart. The Prior is willed to assign his Errors,* 1.1270 who assigneth according to the last Parliament tit. 20.

[unspec 15] And for the Error in being put out of the Ayd of the King,* 1.1271 the cause in long pleading was this. The K••ng granteth to William de Montague, Earl of Salisbury, &c. by Letters Patents, the Pa∣tronage of the said Priorie,* 1.1272 and the Custody and Farme of the same in time of Peace,* 1.1273 and War:* 1.1274 yet after this Grant made to the Earl,* 1.1275 the same King E. 3. for a certain Rent granted the same Prio∣rie to the said Prior during the Wars, saving to him Knights Fees, and advousons of Churches, and after granteth the same Rent, or Farme to the Earl. And for that ayd of the King upon this disclo∣sing was denyed to the Earl, it was with the other conteined in the title before in error.

[unspec 15] For which Errors, It was adjudged, that the former Judgement given in the Kings Bench should be undone,* 1.1276 and void, and that the Prior should be restored to the said Mannour,* 1.1277 with the mean profits, with commandement given to the Chancellor to execute the said judgement,* 1.1278 so alwaies as the said Sir Richard de la Poole by a Writ of Right,* 1.1279 or a new scire fac. may prosecute his suit a∣gain.

The PARLIAMENT holden at WEST∣MINSTER the Friday next after the Feast of St. LUKE in the ninth year of the raign of King RICHARD the 2.

[unspec 1] * 1.1329THe same Friday, for that sundry of the Nobles were not come, nor the Sheriffs returned their Writs, the Parlia∣ment by the Kings commandement was adjourned untill the next day, and the same next day it was adjourned un∣till the Munday then ensuing.

On the which Munday Michael de la Poole Earl of Suffolk, and

Chancellor of England,* 1.1330 in the presence of the King,* 1.1331 Lords, and [unspec 2] Commons pronounced the cause of the Parliament to be,* 1.1332 how the State of the Realm being assaulted on every side, with most mor∣tall enemies might be defended,* 1.1333 and preserved; the Defence he shewed to consist in four points, whereof two concerned outward, or forrain affairs, and two inward, or affairs within the Realm.

[unspec 3] The one of the inward affairs was touching the Staple,* 1.1334 the o∣ther concerning Money or Coyn.* 1.1335 The first of forrain affairs was, what was to be attempted for defence?* 1.1336 The second how the same War might be nourished, and maintained?

[unspec 4] Touching the Staple,* 1.1337 he thought best, that the same were plan∣ted within the Realm, considering that the Burgesses of Callice,* 1.1338 and other towns beyond the Seas grew very rich thereby, and good towns at home within the Realm were much decayed.* 1.1339 And so much for the Common profit. Touching the King, he affirmed that the Subsidie of Wools yeelded more to the King, when the Staple was kept in England by 1000. marks yearly, than it did now being holden beyond the Seas.* 1.1340 Touching the Coyn he shew∣eth,* 1.1341 that weighing how all Nations much thirsted thereafter, and therefore conveyed much over, wherefore the best was to raise them by raising the value.* 1.1342

[unspec 5] That the Realm was best defended by pursuing the enemy by sharpe War,* 1.1343 and he perswaded by many reasons, that it was better to seek than to be sought, and that a Subsidie was out of necessity to be granted;* 1.1344 which was as manifest as being offered to the King would be plausible: about all which he willed them to consult.* 1.1345

[unspec 6] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.1346 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 7] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoygn, and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isls.

[unspec 8] Tryars of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 10] The Lords and Commons granted to the King a Fifteen,* 1.1347 and half a Fifteen, towards the voyage of Iohn King Castell and Por∣tugall,* 1.1348 Duke of Lancaster, and for the safe keeping of the Sea,* 1.1349 and Defence of the Marches.* 1.1350 The voyage of the same King and Duke was appointed into Spain, and agreed by Parliament upon certain considerations, The last being so, as no part of the said Sub∣sidie was otherwise to be disbursed by them.

[unspec 11] It was agreed by Parliament, that the Subsidie of Wool-Fells, * 1.1351 Wools, and Skins granted unto the King, untill the time of Mid∣summer then ensuing, should cease from the same time unto the Feast of St. Peter ad vincula, for that thereby the King should be interrupted for clayming such grant as due. And from the said Feast of St. Peter, they granted the same Subsidy to the King for one whole year to endure.

[unspec 12] It is also enacted, that the Staple,* 1.1352 shall be holden in England, in such place as to the King,* 1.1353 and his Councell shall be thought most meet.

[unspec 13] The Duke of Lancaster complaineth by mouth to the King,* 1.1354 Bi∣shops, and Lords in full Parliament, that whereas after the death of Thomas Layhane, who held the Mannor of Latham in the Coun∣tie of Lancaster, of the said Duke in Thonage,* 1.1355 whereby the Man∣nour was seized into the hands of the said Duke of Lancaster, ac∣cording to his Countie Pallatine of Lancaster;* 1.1356 yet notwithstan∣ding Iohn Stanley Knight, in the right of Isabella his wife, Daughter and heir to the said Iohn, had entred, and taken the pro∣fits of the said Mannour without any Livery,* 1.1357 or other suit made in the Chancery of the said Duke,* 1.1358 for which he prayeth remedy. After which upon full advise of the Justices of both Benches,* 1.1359 and others of the Kings learned Councell;* 1.1360 it was declared in the said Parliament, that the entrie of the said Iohn into the Mannour as aforesaid was unlawfull,* 1.1361 and that the said Iohn ought to make suit by Petition or otherwise in the Chancery of the said Duke,* 1.1362 for the Livery of the said Mannour in such case to be sued for.

The King by whole assent of Parliament confirmeth the same,* 1.1365 by girding a Sword unto him,* 1.1366 and by putting on his head a Cap,* 1.1367 and circle of Gold.

The like confirmation was made to Robert de Vere Earl of Oxford,* 1.1371 whom the King lately before created Marquess of Dublin

during his Life,* 1.1372 the old Lands and Dominions of Ireland,* 1.1373 with all proffits, revenews, regalities,* 1.1374 and jurisdictions whatsoever within the same, as ample as the King ought to have the same, and that he should enjoy to him and to his heirs all Conquered Lands by him,* 1.1375 they except the Kings only demesne in deed, or in right: the which Confirmation was made by the Girding of a Sword,* 1.1376 and putting on a Circle of Gold upon his head.* 1.1377

The Parliament holden at WESTMINSTER, the first o•• October, in the 10th. year of the Raign of K. Richard 2.

[unspec 1] * 1.1442ON this day Sir Michaell de la Poole Earl of Suffolk, Chancel∣lor of England, by the Kings commandment in the presence of the King,* 1.1443 Lords, and Commons declared, that the principall cause of the Parliament was,* 1.1444 for that upon a Councell late gathered at Oxford,* 1.1445 the King meant in person with an Army royall, to pass into the parts beyond the Seas, the which his purpose of the same continued, it was then to be debated in what wise, and wherewith the King should pass.* 1.1446

* 1.1447He sheweth that four causes moveth the King to pass: The first, for that he might with less charges assail his enemies, than against them to make the defence. The second, to avoyd the reproch blazed of him,* 1.1448 that he durst not pass in person. The third, to purchase his right to the Crown of France.* 1.1449 The fourth, thereby to win Re∣nown and Honour;* 1.1450 And sith the French did daily make themselves strong to invade the Realm,* 1.1451 he wished them to consult thereon,* 1.1452 and for the maintenance of the Laws,* 1.1453 and preservation of the Peace.* 1.1454

[unspec 3] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.1455 Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.

[unspec 4] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn, and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isls.

[unspec 5] Tryars of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 6] Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

Sir Michael de la Poole Earl of Suffolk and Chancellor of Eng∣land,* 1.1456 was accused by the Commons in full Parliament before the King, Bishops, and Lords, and had objected against him six seve∣rall Articles,* 1.1457 The first, and chief of the same, that he purchased Lands to a great value of the King,* 1.1458 during the time that he was Chancellor, in deceit of the King.* 1.1459 The other five seemed of some importance, but were onely quarrels, and little matter.

[unspec 7] To which Accusation the said Earl demanded of the Lords, that sith he was Chancellor of England,* 1.1460 and therefore for the time represented the Kings person in his absence,* 1.1461 whether he should answer without the Kings presence, for things done while he was Chancellor. Secondly, he said that by advice of his Counsell,* 1.1462 he had appointed Sir Richard le Scroope his Brother in Law, to an∣swer for him.* 1.1463 The Lords answered, it was honest, and fit for him to answer for himself,* 1.1464 Whereupon the Earl making Protestation,* 1.1465 that he might adde, or diminish to his answer, that which might be for him honourable by the advice of his Counsell,* 1.1466 they granted thereunto. And to the first, and chief Article, the said Earl an∣swered, that while he was Chancellor, he neither purchased Lands of the King, nor the King gave any to him,* 1.1467 unless he was advan∣ced to be Earl,* 1.1468 but onely by way of exchange,* 1.1469 viz. That the said Earl had Lands of the King to the value of CCCC. marks for the like value of Inheritance, which the said Earl had out of the Cu∣stome of Kingston upon Hull;* 1.1470 whereof some part was assigned to him before he was Chancellor,* 1.1471 and some touched his descent. But Sir Richard le Scroope therein shewed, how the said Earl by his valiant doings in sundry battails, and his worthy behaviour, and Counsell in sundry Offices at home had justly deserved what he had.* 1.1472

[unspec 8] The Commons replying to the answer of the said Earl,* 1.1473 shewed forth his Oath whereto he was sworn being made Chancellor,* 1.1474 the effect whereof was, for doing Justice, observing the Laws, Coun∣selling the King, keeping his secrets, not to suffer any damage, or disherizon to the King or to his Crown, and that by all means he should promote the Kings profit. And hereupon because he confes∣sed the gift of the Lands to him, whilst he was Chancellor, and that during the same time the Exchange was made to the King of good Lands for a casuall Custome,* 1.1475 they inferred, that the same was not for the Kings profit according to his Oath, and therefore pray judgement.* 1.1476 In semblable manner they reply to the answer of the other five Articles, by urging things to the uttermost, and so of every of them prayed judgement. And note that where the King gave to the Earls eldest son the Priorie of St. Anthonies,* 1.1477 for that

the Prior of that same was French,* 1.1478 who were against the Pope, and therefore Schismaticks;* 1.1479 another after by the Popes Provi∣sion,* 1.1480 was commended to the said Priorie, being worth 400. marks yearly,* 1.1481 whom the Earl would not suffer to be admitted to the said Priorie, as the Commons surmised, untill he had granted unto the Earl C. l. yearly, and to his Son during their lives.

[unspec 9] * 1.1482Upon which the Commons by their replications to the said Article shew, how Sir William Thorpe,* 1.1483 late Chief Justice of the Kings Bench, was adjudged to death,* 1.1484 and to forfeit his Lands and Goods,* 1.1485 for receiving 20. l. of one for a matter depending before him, in which predicament by urging, they would have the said Earl, for the act next before.

[unspec 10] The Earl rejoyneth to their replication,* 1.1486 and sufficiently proveth that to the Oath was another intendment,* 1.1487 nothing so straightly as they would enforce, and thereby further approveth that notwith∣standing his Oath, he might as he did both lawfully take, and buy.

[unspec 11] * 1.1488To the ninth title before he proveth great difference between Thorpes Case, and his; For that Thorpe for matters depending be∣fore him took rewards, and sold Justice, but in the case of the Prior, he came to the said Earl not as a Judge, but as the Father of his Son, who had the said Priorie, with whom Composition was made as for a thing in debate.

After which Answer, and replication made by the said Earl. The said Earl at the request of the Commons, for the grievous offences against him surmised was arrested by the Kings comman∣dement,* 1.1489 and committed to the keeping of the Constable of Eng∣land,* 1.1490 and after let to Mainprize.

[unspec 13] The judgement against the said Earl was,* 1.1491 that for breach of his Oath conteined in the first Article,* 1.1492 all the said Mannor and He∣reditaments, which he had of the Kings gift contained in the said first Article, should be seized into the Kings hand, to have to him and to his heirs for ever, together with all the mean Profits,* 1.1493 and Issues of the same, saving to the said Earl,* 1.1494 the name and title of an Earl, together with xx. l. yearly granted out of the Profits of the Countie of Suff.

[unspec 14] The like judgement was also given against him,* 1.1495 for the 400. Marks of Land exchanged with the King for so much Revenues out of the Custome of Hull.* 1.1496

[unspec 15] The like judgement was also given against him, for the Man∣nour of Flexfleete exchanged by the King for 50. l. yearly going out of the Custome of Hull.

[unspec 16] The like judgement was given further against him for all the meane Profits, and other commodities by him received, or due to be received for the said Priorie of Saint Anthony.* 1.1497

[unspec 17] And it was further adjudged, that the Charter granted to Dover,* 1.1498 under the great Seal,* 1.1499 though it passed by warrantise, should be re∣voked, and utterly cease.

[unspec 18] The Lords, and Commons granted to the King one half Desme,* 1.1500 and one half fifteen, and for Defence of the Realm of every Tun of Wine coming in,* 1.1501 or going out of the Realm iii s. and xii. d. of every pound of Marchandize, except the Staple ware, and the Subsidie of Wools and Staple wares:* 1.1502 They also grant for one year another half of one fifteen upon certain conditions,* 1.1503 viz. that if certain Bishops, Lords, and others there named, and appointed to be Commissioners for the redress of enormities,* 1.1504 do cause the King by their Inventions to be supplyed by their Profits, that then their latter grant to stay, upon condition those persons there named to be of the continuall Councell should not be removed,* 1.1505 and have their said Commissions repealed; and that the same their grant,* 1.1506 and conditions be exemplified under the great Seal,* 1.1507 of every Shire freely.

Petitions of the Commons with their Answers.

[unspec 19]

IT is enacted that the great Charter,* 1.1508 the Charter of the Forrest,* 1.1509 and all other Statutes be observed without any Patent to the con∣trary,* 1.1510 saving to the King his Prerogative.* 1.1511

[unspec 20] They require, that the King will appoint certain of his Chief Officers,* 1.1512 the Chancellor,* 1.1513 Treasurer,* 1.1514 Keeper of the Privy Seal,* 1.1515 and Steward of his Houshold,* 1.1516 and that certain may be appointed to be of his great Couucell for one year.* 1.1517

The King granteth, and touching his Steward of his houshold,* 1.1518 he will appoint with the advice of his Counsell.* 1.1519

And note that more than this last Act is no menti∣on made of the first Act in print of this year.

[unspec 24] That the Statutes whereby the Justices of one Bench,* 1.1525 and the other should take no reward,* 1.1526 nor be of any mans Fee, may be ob∣served.

The King hath,* 1.1527 and will charge such Justices,* 1.1528 to Minister right, and will punish the contrary, and therefore willeth that all Statutes made touching them, and the Barons of the Exchecquer be made void.* 1.1529

[unspec 25] * 1.1530That Inquisition may be made in every County of Liberties granted to any person,* 1.1531 and of the value, so as upon returne of the same every Sheriff may be discharged of the same values.* 1.1532

The Parliament holden at WESTMINSTER the Munday after the Purification of our Lady, in the eleventh year of the raign of King RICHARD the second.

[unspec 1] THe same day Thomas Bishop of Ely Chancellor of England by the Kings commandement declared very wisely,* 1.1562 & eloquently. the cause of the Parliament;* 1.1563 viz. by what means the great troubles grew within the Realm,* 1.1564 for want of good Government,* 1.1565 might be appeased, the King better counselled,* 1.1566 the Realm better governed,* 1.1567 Peace better observed,* 1.1568 the laws more straightly maintained,* 1.1569 Justice more indifferently ministred,* 1.1570 Misdemeanors more severely puni∣shed,* 1.1571 and Well-doers the better cherished; How also the Realm might be best defended,* 1.1572 how the Sea kept,* 1.1573 the Marches of Scot∣land well guarded,* 1.1574 and the parts of Guienne valiantly acquitted,* 1.1575 whereof some part was then besiedged, and how the charges a∣bout these exploits might most easily be levied.* 1.1576

Receivers of the Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.

Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin, and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isles.

[unspec 2] Triars of Petitions for England &c. as above.

Triars of Petitions for Gascoin &c. as above.* 1.1577

[unspec 3] [unspec 4] After this Thomas Duke of Gloucester,* 1.1578 kneeling before the King, said, that he understood how that the King was informed, [unspec 5] that he went about to depose the King, and to make himself King; [unspec 6] wherefore he offered there to declare and shew his Estate in that behalf, as the Lords of the Parliament would award;* 1.1579 whereupon the King said openly in the Parliament,* 1.1580 that he thought that the said Duke was nothing faultie, and therefore held him excused.

[unspec 7] In the Parliament all the Lords, as well Spirituall as Temporal, being present, claimed their Liberties,* 1.1581 and Franchises; viz. that all weightie matters in the same Parliament which should be after moved,* 1.1582 touching the Peeres of the Land,* 1.1583 ought to be determined and judged, and discussed by the course of the Parliament,* 1.1584 and not by the Civill Law,* 1.1585 nor yet by the Common Laws of the Land used in other more Courts of the Realm;* 1.1586 the which clayme and liberties the King most willingly allowed, and granted thereto in full Parliament.

[unspec 8] In full Parliament also the 5. Lords Appellants;* 1.1587 viz. Tho. Duke of Gloucester, Henry Earl of Darby, Rich. Earl of Arundell, Tho. Earl of Worcester, and Thomas Earl Marshall, made their open protestations,* 1.1588 that whatsoever they attempted, touching their Ap∣peal,* 1.1589 and Suit in this Parliament or before, they, and their par∣takers did the same, chiefly to the honour of God,* 1.1590 the ayde and

safetie of the King,* 1.1591 the Realm, and their own Lives.

[unspec 9] In this Parliament the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury made openly solemne protestation for himself * 1.1592 and the whole Clergie of his Province entred by word.* 1.1593 The effect whereof was; that albeit, he might lawfully be present at all their Parliaments, yet for that in this Parliament matters of Treason were to be intreated off,* 1.1594 where∣at by the Canonical Law,* 1.1595 they might not be present: they there∣fore absented themselves,* 1.1596 saving their liberties therein other∣wise.

[unspec 10] The like protestations did the Bishops of Durham and Carlile make.

[unspec 11] * 1.1597On Tus••day the 10 th. of March, being the 26 th. day of this Parliament, the Lords and Commons granted to the King one Half Desme, and half Fifteenth for the defence of the Sea,* 1.1598 so as the same be thereon only imployed: and so as the same be not made, or taken for an example, being given before the end of the Parliament: whereby any Subsidy should be hereafter demanded before the end of the Parliament.* 1.1599

[unspec 12] On Friday the 20 th. of March, and the 36 th. day of the Parli∣ament, the Lords and Commons granted to the King in defence of the Realm,* 1.1600 and safetie of Merchandize, 3 s. of every Tun of Wine,* 1.1601 and 12 d. of every pound of Merchandize, except of Staple Ware: and also they granted to the King, the Subsidy of Staple Ware.

[unspec 13] The same day, all the Lords,* 1.1602 Bishops, and Commons, were openly sworne in Parliament, upon the Cross of Canterbury, that they should see the Peace kept, that they should live and dy in the quarrell,* 1.1603 and defence of the bodies of the 5. Lords named, Tit. 8. if any thing were against them attempted, saving their allegiance to the King,* 1.1604 and their due obedience to his Prerogative and Laws.* 1.1605

[unspec 9] The Wednesday ensuing, the Chancellor, and others of the King Officers, declared to the Commons the speciall intent of the King; (other mention there is not made;) The same time the Commons require the King,* 1.2411 to send for such Bishops and Lords as were ab∣sent:* 1.2412 the Chancellor answered, that the same were too long and te∣dious.

[unspec 10] On Thursday ensuing, the Commons before the King and Lords, made their excuse, that where it was said that the Commons upon excitation, meant to move the King, for staying to send the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, and the Earl's of Rutland, and Marshall in message to his Father the King of France into the parts of Lumbar∣die, according to his promise, that they never were moved, nor meant the same of the event of the same Voyage, whatsoever it should be, or of any the like. They onely require the King to hold them excused,* 1.2413 and refer the same to his own pleasure.* 1.2414

Whereunto the King by his own mouth declared certain causes of the same journy;* 1.2415 First for appeasing of the Warrs,* 1.2416 and the in∣tollerable losses thereby ensuing.* 1.2417 The second, for that the said King was his Affinee, and Cosin, and his Ally;* 1.2418 and further he thought to aid him.

[unspec 15] The King by his own mouth answereth to every Article,* 1.2433 and touching the fourth, seemed much offended,* 1.2434 saying, that he would be free therein:* 1.2435 and that the Commons thereby committed offence against him,* 1.2436 his Dignity, and Liberty: the which he willed the Lords to declare the next day to the Commons.* 1.2437

And further willed the Duke of Lancaster, to charge Sir Iohn Bussey Speaker to the Parliament,* 1.2438 to declare the name of him who exhibited the same Bill.

[unspec 16] After this declaration made by the Lords to the Commons:* 1.2439 the Saturday ensuing, they delivered the name of the Exhibiter, which was Sir Thomas Haxey,* 1.2440 the which Bill was delivered by the Cleark of the Parliament,* 1.2441 to the Cleark of the Crown;* 1.2442 After which the Commons forthwith came before the King,* 1.2443 shewing themselves heavy of cheare, and declaring that they meant no harm, they sub∣mitted themselves to the King, and most humbly craved par∣don.

[unspec 17] The Chancellor by the Kings Commandment declared,* 1.2444 that the King held them excused,* 1.2445 and the King by mouth declared, that they were sunderly bound to him,* 1.2446 and namely in forbearing to charge them with Desmes,* 1.2447 or Fifteens, the which he meant no more to charge them in his own person.

The Parliament holden at Westminster the Munday next after the Exaltation of the Cross in the xxi th. year of King RICHARD the second, and from thence adjourned to SHREWSBURY.

[unspec 1] THe King,* 1.2500 the same Munday, being present, the Bishop of Exe∣ter, as Chancellor of England by his Commandement de∣clared;* 1.2501 that the Parliament was called to the honour of God to the redress,* 1.2502 and safety of the Realm,* 1.2503 and for his Theame took the words of Ezekiel,* 1.2504 Rex unus erit omnibus: approving by many authorities, that by any other means than by one sole King,* 1.2505 no Realm could be well governed; and that to the well governing of a good King, three points needed; first, that the King should be pu∣issant.* 1.2506 Secondly severe in execution of Laws,* 1.2507 whereby he gover∣ned. Thirdly that the Subjects should be obedient to the Kings Laws.* 1.2508

To the end the King might be the more puissant, he sheweth, that many Liberties, and Prerogatives were given to the King,* 1.2509 which in his Coronation he was sworne to performe,* 1.2510 so as if any thing was done to the contrary by Law, the same was revoked,* 1.2511 and therefore they thereof were now called to consult.

[unspec 3] That Laws ought to be executed,* 1.2512 appeared by the Common example of a good Father, who uses as well to strike as to stroke his Child; and that the same might the better be executed, the King had appointed new Judges,* 1.2513 and Officers through the Realm, and now was desirous to redress the fame defects of the Law,* 1.2514 if any there were. And that the Realme and Subjects ought to obey the King and his Laws,* 1.2515 was apparant, for that no man could claym propertie of life, or of any fruit of his travell, without the pillar of the Prince, or Law.

He concludeth, that the King meant the Observation of the Laws,* 1.2516 the continuance of all Liberties generall,* 1.2517 and speciall to every person, and Corporation, and further to shew Pardon to his Subjects excepting some.* 1.2518

[unspec 4] Receivers of Petitions for England,* 1.2519 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 9] For that divers judgements were heretofore undone,* 1.2522 for that the Clergie were not present,* 1.2523 the Commons prayed the King, that the Clergie would appoint some to be their Common Pro∣ctor,* 1.2524 with sufficient authority thereunto.

[unspec 10] The Bishops therefore being severally examined, appointed Sir Thomas Percie their Proctor to assent,* 1.2525 as by their Instrument ap∣peareth.

[unspec 11] * 1.2526After this Sir Iohn Bussey rehearsed in effect, the Oration made by the Chancellor, and so sheweth further, as it appeareth at large in the printed Book Cap. 2.

[unspec 14] * 1.2529The twentieth of September the Commons made their Prote∣station before the King saying, that by accusing certain on the same day, they required that they should not be forebarred, but that they might at any time after, during the Parliament ef•• soones make further accusations; The which was granted, and their Protesta∣tions entred.

[unspec 15] The same day the Commons in full Parliament accused Thomas Arundel Archbishop of Canterbury,* 1.2530 that when he was Chancellour he procured,* 1.2531 and as Chief, executed the same Commission made traiterously in the tenth year of the King.* 1.2532 And also for that the said Archbishop procured the Duke of Gloucester, and the Earls of Arundell, and War. to incroach to themselves Royall power,* 1.2533 and to judge to death Simon de Burleigh, and Sir Iohn Barnes with∣out the Kings assent;* 1.2534 Whereupon the Commons required that the same Archbishop might rest under safe keeping;* 1.2535 Whereunto for that the same Impeachment touched so great a person, they would be advised.

[unspec 16] The Fifteenth day of September the Commons prayed the King to give judgement on the same Archbishop,* 1.2536 according to his de∣sert. The King answered, that privately the said Archbishop had confessed to him,* 1.2537 how he mistooke himself in the same Commis∣sion, and therefore submitted himself to the Kings mercy. Where∣fore the King,* 1.2538 Lords, and the said Sir Thomas Percie adjudged the fact of the said Archbishop to be treason, and himself a Tray∣tor.* 1.2539 And therefore it was ordered that the said Archbishop should be banished:* 1.2540 his Temporallities siezed: his Lands, and Goods forfeited as in Fee,* 1.2541 as in use, as in possession.

[unspec 17] The King further prescribeth, that the said Archbishop, should take his passage on Friday in the six weeks of Michaelmas at Do∣ver•• towards the parts of France.* 1.2542

[unspec 18] The print touching four points of Treason,* 1.2543 Cap. 3. agreeth with the Record.

Sir Thomas Mortimer Knight was impeached of sundry Trea∣sons,* 1.2544 as well by the Lords impeachment,* 1.2545 as by the Commons: And for that he was fled,* 1.2546 it was enacted that Proclamation should be made in England,* 1.2547 and Ireland that the said Sir Thomas should yield himself within three Moneths after to the Law, or else to be reputed, and to forfeit as a Traytor.* 1.2548 The like to be of all his Ad∣herents, and ayders after the said three Moneths. Vide the second part of this year tit. 15.

[unspec 20] The print that none should go about to repeale any thing done against the Parliament of eleventh,* 1.2549 agreeth with the Record.

The Bishops,* 1.2550 and Lords swore by the Shrine of St. Edward, that they would observe all Ordinances of this Parliament,* 1.2551 as by their Oaths hereafter may appear. It is enacted by the Common consent, that the said Oath of the Bishops and Lords should be enrolled in the Chancery;* 1.2552 So the Successors of every Bishop, and the Heirs of every the Lords should swear the same, before their Livery had of their Temporallities;* 1.2553 for the better observation hereof, the Bishops before the King pronounced Excommunica∣tion,* 1.2554 and provided censures for the impugners of the same.

[unspec 22] This last whole Record agreeth with the print Cap. the Fifth.

The print touching the Issue of certain forejudged Cap. 6. a∣greeth with the Record.* 1.2555

[unspec 23] The print touching grants of such fore-judged Cap. 7. agreeth with the Record.* 1.2556

R. 2. tit. 26. and upon the Record of the Kings Bench, there mentio∣ned, assigned before the King certain Errors,* 1.2559 whereupon was a∣warded to him a scire facias against Roger Mortimer Earl of March,* 1.2560 returnable at the next Parliament.* 1.2561

[unspec 26] The King in full Parliament excuseth as innocent the Duke of Yorke,* 1.2562 the Bishop of Worcester, and Sir Richard le Scroope, then living: William late A••chbishop of Canterbury. Alexander late Archbishop of York, Thomas late Bishop of Exeter, and Michael late Abbot of Waltham then being dead: of the execution,* 1.2563 and in∣tent of the Commission made in Anno tenth, as being assured of their Loyalties, and therefore by Parliament restoreth them to their good name.

[unspec 27] The King also declareth, that Henry Earl of Darby, and Thomas Mowbray Earl of Nottingham, had Loyally used themselves to∣wards the King by coming from the Duke of Gloucester,* 1.2564 and from the Earls of Arundell, and War. trayterously assembled in defence of the King,* 1.2565 The which Earls of Nottingham, and Darbie the King by Parliament took as obey sant leiges.

The print touching the Principallitie of Chester Cap. 9. agreeth* 1.2566

[unspec 34] The Commons require that provision may be made,* 1.2574 for the defence of the North Marches.* 1.2575 The King answered that upon understanding from thence he should take order therein.

[unspec 35] On Saturday in Michaelmas week, the King sheweth three cau∣ses, wherefore he meant to advance certain men.* 1.2576 Wherefore the King sitting then crowned in his Royall Majesty,* 1.2577 and holding in his hand the Regall Scepter,* 1.2578 created his Cosen Henry of Lancaster, and Earl of Darbie, Duke of Hereford,* 1.2579 to have to him and to the Heirs Males of his body begotten, and gave to him the Charter of his Creation,* 1.2580 the which was read in open Parliament, And thereupon the King girded the Duke with a sword,* 1.2581 and set over his head a Cap of honour,* 1.2582 and Dignity of a Duke, and received of him his Homage.

Proctors of the Clergie,* 1.2621 and most of the Commons by holding up their hands, affirmed that they the same would do, the Oath doth there appeare,

[unspec 52] The King doubted whether it were good to send to the Pope for some means to bind the Kings of England his Successors to per∣form the same Oath;* 1.2622 for that by Oath he could not bind them a∣gainst the libertie of the Crown.* 1.2623

[unspec 53] Henry Duke of Hereford,* 1.2624 by the Kings commandement, exhi∣bited to the King in Parliament, a Schedule containing the accu∣sations of the Duke of Norfolk,* 1.2625 for words to him spoken by the said Duke of Norfolk,* 1.2626 the effect whereof in cheif part was; That the King,* 1.2627 notwithstanding his fair countenances, and great Oaths made,* 1.2628 did yet mean to oppresse the Duke of Lancaster, and the said two Dukes of Aumerle, and Exeter, and the Marquess Dor∣set; and that by the Oaths of other Nobles there named.

E. 3. might be revo∣ked.

[unspec 56] The second requireth the like for Sir Hugh le Dispencer the Son,* 1.2632 and his Ancestors.

[unspec 57] The revocation of the exile of Sir Hugh le Dispencer the youn∣ger, is at large,* 1.2633 and not elsewhere to be found that I have seen. It first sheweth the manner of the apprehension of Newport Castle by whom the particular damages sustained thereby, his judgement of exile and the errors,* 1.2634 whereupon the same was revoked; In which I note.

[unspec 1] 1. THey first accused the said Duke for procuring the Com∣mission expressed before tit. 15 & namely for sending by vertue thereof,* 1.2707 for Oswald Bishop of Galloway in Scot∣land the Kings enemy.* 1.2708

[unspec 2] Then for raising a Warlike Company at Harringey in Mid∣dlesex,* 1.2709 and coming into the Court into the Kings presence armed.* 1.2710

[unspec 3] For that they accroached to themselves Royal power,* 1.2711 and contrary to the Kings Commandement at the Parliament in 11 R. 2. adjudged,* 1.2712 and caused Sir Simon Burleigh Knight to be put to death as a Traytor.

[unspec 4] For that they also the Thursday next after the Feast of Saint Michael in Anno 11. at Huntington purposed to have surrendred from the King their Homage,* 1.2713 and Allegiance, and to have depo∣sed the King.* 1.2714

[unspec 5] For that they also took out of the Kings Treasury the Re∣cord,* 1.2715 whereby he surrendred the Kingdome,* 1.2716 the which they shewing unto the King at the Parliament at Westminster in the eleventh, said then to the King, that they had good cause then to depose him,* 1.2717 but they stayed the same for the love of his Noble Grandfather, and Father, and in hope of his better Govern∣ment.

In another Roll annexed thereunto, and intituled as followeth. Placita Coronae coram Domino Rege in Parliamento suo at ud Westm. die Lunae proximae post Festum Exaltationis Sanctae Crucis, Anno Regni Regis Richardi Secundi post Conquestum 21.

[unspec 1] ALl the matter,* 1.2718 and circumstances conteined in the last Roll, next before are expressed.

[unspec 2] All which Articles the Lords Appellants ought to approve as the King should awarde,* 1.2719 whose names were Edward Earl of Rutland. Thomas Earl of Kent. Iohn Earl of Huntington, Thomas Earl of Nottingham, Iohn Earl of Somerset, Iohn Earl of Salop. Thomas Lord le Dispencer, and William le Scroope Knight.

[unspec 3] Whereupon the Lords Appellants required the King,* 1.2720 that such persons appealed, as were under Arrest,* 1.2721 might come to their answer;* 1.2722 At which time it was commanded to Ralph Lord Nevill there present,* 1.2723 Constable of the Tower, to bring forth Richard Earl of Arundell being in his Custodie,* 1.2724 whom the said Constable brought into the Parliament the 21. of September. At what time the Lords Appellants came also in their proper persons.

[unspec 4] To the which Earl the Duke of Lancaster Steward of Eng∣land, by the Kings commandement, and assent of the Lords, de∣clared the whole circumstances; After the reading, and declaring whereof, the Earl of Arundell saith,* 1.2725 that he had one pardon made at the Parliament, in the 11 R. 2. and one pardon made within six years before that present time, and prayeth that they may be allowed.

[unspec 6] The Duke answered,* 1.2727 that for as much as they were unlawfully made, the present Parliament had revoked them.

[unspec 7] The said Earl was therefore willed to say further, for himself at his perill, whereupon Sir Walter Clopton the Chief Justice by the Kings commandement,* 1.2728 declared to the Earl that if he said no other thing, that the Law would adjudge him guilty of all the A∣ctions against him,* 1.2729 The which Earl notwithstanding would say no other thing, but required allowance of his pardon. * 1.2730

The Lords Appellants therefore in proper person require, that Judgement may be given against the said Earl,* 1.2731 as convict of the Tresons aforesaid.* 1.2732 The Duke of Lancaster by the assent of the King, Bishops, and Lords,* 1.2733 adjudged the said Earl convict of all the Articles aforesaid, and thereby a Traytor to the King,* 1.2734 and Realm, and that he should be therefore hanged, drawn, and quar∣tered, and for••eit all such his Lands in Fee,* 1.2735 or Fee tayl, as he had

the nineteenth day of November, in the tenth year of the King, to∣gether with all his Goods, and Chattels.

[unspec 8] But for that the said Earl was come of Noble blood, and House, the King pardoneth him the execution of hanging,* 1.2736 draw∣ing, and quartering, and granted that he should be beheaded.* 1.2737 And thereupon commandement was given to the Lord de Morley Lieu∣tenant of the Marshall of England,* 1.2738 to do execution next to the Tower of London, and so the said Earl was beheaded the same day.

[unspec 9] * 1.2739Upon a Writ sent to Thomas Earl Marshall, Captain of Cal∣lice, to bring forth the body of Thomas Duke of Gloucester;* 1.2740 the said Captain returned the said Earl was dead in his keeping,* 1.2741 in the Kings prison at Callice. After which returne read in Parliament,* 1.2742 the Lords Appellants in proper persons required, that the said Duke might be adjudged even as a Traytor;* 1.2743 The Commons re∣quired the same: Whereupon the Duke was adjudged a Traytor. And that he should forfeit all such Lands in Fee,* 1.2744 or Fee-tayl, as he had the thirteenth day of November in the eleventh year of this King, and all his Goods, and Chattels.

[unspec 10] After this the Lords Appellants in proper persons require, that if there were any confession,* 1.2745 or Record touching the aforesaid appeal of the persons appealed, that the same might openly be de∣clared; Whereupon one Commission directed to Wil. Richill one of the Justices of the common Place to take the examination of the said Duke was returned,* 1.2746 and read, with the examination of the said Earl, made and written in the Castle of Callice, with the very hand of the said Duke.

The Confession first declareth, how that he was one that pro∣cured the Commission made in Anno 10. and thereby accroached to himself regall power in restraint of the King,* 1.2747 and Derogation of his Prerogative, as since he learned, albeit he then thought it not any, and therefore craveth pardon. He further confesseth an offence for coming armed into the Kings presence, albeit he did the same for dread of his life, and craveth pardon therefore.* 1.2748

* 1.2749He further acknowledgeth an offence for taking the Kings Le∣ters from the Kings Messengers,* 1.2750 and interrupting the same.

* 1.2751He also accuseth himself for speaking slanderous words to the King in the presence of others, albeit he meant no harme.

* 1.2752He further confesseth his evill for asking of certain learned with others, whether he might not give up their Homage for fear of their lives, which they meant.

[unspec 11] * 1.2753Finally he confesseth, that he with others for two or three days space, meant to have deposed the King. For all which his unkind∣ness he craveth pardon.

* 1.2754After the reading hereof William Rickhill in open Parliament affirmed the said Confession to be made by the said Duke of his own free will, being of perfect remembrance.

[unspec 12] The Earl of Warwick was brought into the Parliament,* 1.2755 by the Constable of the Tower the 28th. of September,* 1.2756 at what time the Lords Appellants were in proper person,* 1.2757 and to the which Earl the Duke of Lancaster Steward of England,* 1.2758 declared the accusati∣ons conteined before in the tit. 12.13.

The same Earl confessed all the points of Treason aforesaid,* 1.2759 and submitted himself to the Kings grace;* 1.2760 Whereupon the said Duke by assent of Parliament gave the like Judgement of this Earl,* 1.2761 as of the Earl of Arundell before tit. ••7. for like Lands, and Goods to have relation to the 13th. day of November in the 10th. year.

After Judgement the King at the request of the Lords Ap∣pellants,* 1.2762 and Commons, to the said Earl pardoneth the execution aforesaid,* 1.2763 and gran••eth to him life, to remain banished during the same in the Isle of Man,* 1.2764 upon condition that no means should be made of any further favour to him.* 1.2765 And the said Earl was deli∣vered to Sir William le Scroope, and Sir Stephen his Brother, to bring him to the said Isle,* 1.2766 both of whom undertooke body for bo∣dy,* 1.2767 safely to keep the said Earl, in the said Isle without departing there from.

[unspec 15] The said Lords Appellants do appeal Thomas Mortimer Knight for the Treasons aforesaid,* 1.2768 who was fled into the wilde parts of Ireland;* 1.2769 whereupon the Parliament assigned a certain day for the said Thomas to come,* 1.2770 and render himself to the Law, or else to be as a Traytor,* 1.2771 and that thereof Proclamation as aforesaid.* 1.2772 The Lords Appellants came into the Parliament in proper per∣sons, and required Judgement of the said Thomas as afore.* 1.2773 Vide in this year before tit. 9.

16. The Duke of Lancaster therefore as Steward of England,* 1.2774 by the assent of the Parliament, adjudged the said Sir Thomas, at∣tainted of the Treasons aforesaid, and that he should forfeit all such Lands in Fee,* 1.2775 or Fee-tayl as he had the 13th. of November in Anno tenth, together with all his Goods and Chattells.

The said Lords Appellants impeached Sir Iohn Cobham Knight,* 1.2776 for the Articles expressed in tit. 12. & 13. He answered that he did not the same of his own procuring, but by the Kings sundry Commandement:* 1.2777 notwithstanding the said Duke pronounced him by assent of Parliament a Traytor,* 1.2778 and therefore death•• that he should forfeit all such Lands as he had in Fee the nineteenth of November Anno tenth with his Goods,* 1.2779 and all fee tayled Lands for terme of his own life onely,* 1.2780 the remainder to the right heirs in Tayle: notwithstanding the King, after of his meer grace gran∣teth life to the said Sir Iohn Cobham, so that he should remain in prison in the Isle of Iersey during his life;* 1.2781 and so as no further means of pardon were made for him.

[unspec 18] The accusation of Henry Duke of Hereford,* 1.2782 made against the Duke of Norfolk and the Order therein taken,* 1.2783 as may appear in the 21. before tit. 53. & 54.

[unspec 19] The nineteenth day of March after the accusation aforesaid, both the Dukes appeared before the King at Bristow,* 1.2784 where by assent of Parliament it was agreed,* 1.2785 that the determination of the same should be ended according to the Law of Chivalrie, if suffi∣cient proofs were not found.

[unspec 20] * 1.2786On the 28th. day of Aprill both the said Dukes appeared before the King at Windsor, to whom day was given over to appear there on Munday the 29. of Aprill.

[unspec 21] * 1.2787On which Munday both the said Dukes appeared, and the Battail was joyned betwixt them, by the advice of a great num∣ber of Dukes, Earls, Bishops, Barons and Knights there assembled, as those who had authority by Parliament, for that no sufficient proofs could in the mean time be found.* 1.2788

[unspec 22] * 1.2789Notwithstanding the King weighing the weightiness of the cause, and how nigh the said Dukes were to him in blood, for ten∣der love took the Battail into his own hands, and gave Judgement by authority of Parliament,* 1.2790 that the said Duke of Hereford should by a certain day then appointed depart, and avoyd out of the Realm for ten years, and that he should in no wise during the same terme, come in the Company of the said Duke of Norfolk, or of Thomas Swandell, neither send nor receive any Letters,* 1.2791 or Message from them on pain of treason,* 1.2792 and that not for want of proof of his said accusation, for that he was ready therein to do his devoir.

[unspec 23] To the said Duke of Norfolk,* 1.2793 it was said, that for as much as he had spoken certain words,* 1.2794 tending to great trouble, and there∣in reecitd, he was therefore banished the Realm during his life,* 1.2795 to avoyde by a day there limited, and to remain in Almayne, Bo∣heme, or Hungarie, and in no other parts of Christendome, and to pass over the Sea in Pilgrimage,* 1.2796 and further as above on pain of Treason,* 1.2797 and that for no default, that the said Duke had made in his defence,* 1.2798 considering that therein he was ready to make his de∣voir.

[unspec 24] And where the King had given to the said Duke of Nor∣folk sundry Mannours, Lands,* 1.2799 and Tenements for joyning in the Appeal with the Lords Appelants aforesaid,* 1.2800 wherein for that the said Duke failed to proceed without any good ground, the King adjudged by Act of Parliament, that the said Duke should forfeit all the said Lands,* 1.2801 and all his Offices during his life, to∣gether with all Warranties, whereby any the Kings Ancestors were bound to any the Ancestors of the said Duke.

[unspec 25] * 1.2802And also for certain payments behind, and due to the King by the said Duke, during such times as he was Deputy of Callice,* 1.2803 The King by authority of Parliament adjudged to seize into his hands,* 1.2804 all the Hereditaments of the said Duke over and above M l. yearly to be allowed to the said Duke untill the King were sa∣tisfied.* 1.2805

To the judgement of the said Duke of Norfolk is annexed a Cer∣tificate from the town of Lenestooke in Suffolk,* 1.2806 of the day of the passage of the said Duke towards Draight in Holland, having in his Company to the number of thirty persons.

[unspec 26] It was further ordained that neither of the said Dukes, by any means should sue,* 1.2807 or procure any suit for them to be made of any release of their Judgements on pain of treason.

And note that in all the Judgements aforesaid,* 1.2808 the name, and assent of the Procurator of the Clergie is alledged.* 1.2809

[unspec 27] The eighteenth day of March in the two and twentieth year of the King, the King by assent of the Lords, as having full autho∣rity therein, doth adjudge Sir Robert Pleasington Knight then dead a Traytor,* 1.2810 as procuring with the Duke of Gloucester, the levying of War at Harringey, for which he should lose all such his Lands in Fee or Fee tayl,* 1.2811 and goods which he had the thirteenth of No∣vember in Anno 11.

[unspec 28] Henry Bowet Cla••ke for being of Counsell,* 1.2812 of the device made to the Duke of Hereford expressed before in tit. 87. Was adjudged to dye, and forfeit as a Traytor,* 1.2813 notwithstanding he was after pardoned of life,* 1.2814 and banished the Realm.* 1.2815
