* 1.6The Arguments of the Challenge made by John Earl Mar∣shall to have his place in Parliament above Richard Earl of Warwick;* 1.7 with the Answers of the said Earl of War∣wick against the said Challenge.

* 1.8FIrst, it was alleged for the Earl Marshall, that according to a pedegree delivered to the Parliament, he was descended of the bloud royall from Thomas of Brotherton son to King Edward the first,* 1.9 and bare the Armes of this land, by which bloud, and armes, he claimeth to have place in Parliament, afore the said Earl of Warwick.

* 1.10The Earl of Warwick by the mouth of Sr. Walter Beauchamp, saith, that though the Earl Marshall claimeth place in Parliament by bloud,* 1.11 and armes, yet he claimeth no possession had by none of all his Ancestors; but the Earl of Warwick allegeth possession in himself above the Earl Marshall, in this sort following.

* 1.12First, in a Parliament in Anno 11. R. 2. certain Appellants were written in this order; first, the Duke of Gloucester, that was son to King E. 3. next the Lord of Darbie, that was after King H. 4. and then the Earl of Darby, the next to him the Earl of Warwick, fa∣ther to the now Earl, Defendant, and then afterwards the Earl Marshall, father to the now Earl.

* 1.13Item also King H. 4. kept a great Councell at Westminster, where debate was moved between the Earles of Kent,* 1.14 and Arundell, for their places in Parliament, and likewise between the Earl of War∣wick,* 1.15 and the Earl Marshall, brother to the now Earl Marshall, where it was determined,* 1.16 that the Earl of Kent should have place above the Earl of Arundell, and that the now Earl of Warwick, a∣bove the then Earl Marshall,* 1.17 and so they were both set personal∣ly in possession.

* 1.18In a patent of King R. 2. made to Thomas Duke of Gloucester, of Holdernes, and Okeham, in the Testees the Earl of Warwicks father was set before the Earl Marshalls father.* 1.19

* 1.20Item, in a letter sent to the Pope by King R. 2. for the matter of provision,* 1.21 the name and seal of the Earl of Warwick, was set be∣fore the Earl Marshall.

* 1.22Item, though the Earl of Arundell be not of the bloud royall,* 1.23 nor ever bare the Armes of this land, yet he hath had place in Par∣liament alwayes above the Ancestors of the Earl Marshall, with∣out interruption.

* 1.24Item, he requireth the Duke of Gloucester to call to his remem∣brance the Parliament holden at Leicester, 2. H. 5. where notwith∣standing the noble service done by the Duke of Exeter,* 1.25 then being Earl of Dorset,* 1.26 in the Dutchy of Guienne, who was of the bloud royall, and Uncle to the King, and bare the royall Armes of Eng∣land,

and France,* 1.27 yet neverthelesse the said Earl of Warwick had place above the said Marshall, and the said Earl of Dorset.

Item, where the Lord Stafford that now is, is lineally descended from E. 3. by royall whole bloud, and not demi sanguinis, by his mother, the Countesse of Stafford, daughter of Thomas of Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, yet the Earl of Warwick hath place above the Lord Stafford.* 1.28

Item, it was declared that E. 1. had issue by his second wife,* 1.29 the French Kings sister, Thomas of Brotherton, and Edward the younger brother, which Thomas the Lord Marshall is descended of, and of Edmond the Lady Princesse, and the Earles of Kent came of the younger,* 1.30 and that their difference in Armes was further off then the Earl Marshalls, yet they had place before the said Earl Mar∣shall.

Item, it was also declared, that E. 1. had another wife named Ellinor,* 1.31 daughter to Alphonso King of Spain, by whom he had a daughter two yeares elder then her brother E. 2. which daughter was wedded to the Earl of Hereford,* 1.32 by whom she had two sons, and two daughters, the one named Earl of Hereford, and the other Earl of Northampton;* 1.33 the elder daughter being wedded to Courtney afterwards Earl of Devonshire,* 1.34 who by this meanes was lineally de∣scended of the bloud royall, and yet the Earl of Warwick had his place in Parliament be••ore him.

It was moved, that where commandement was before given, that the Earles should both forbear to sit in the Parliament house,* 1.35 un∣till the title of both parties were by their Councell declared in writing;* 1.36 there were then writings exhibited into the Court, de∣claring each others titles.

Item, it was alleged for the said Earl of Warwick,* 1.37 that he ought to enjoy the possession of the place in Parliament,* 1.38 till the said Earl Marshall had a Judgement for his right.* 1.39

Item, it was answered for the Earl Marshall,* 1.40 that such possession had against Title of right,* 1.41 which began but lately by commande∣ment, ought not to be affirmed, nor put him to his action, or out of possession, for lack of Judgement.* 1.42

Item, it was desired by Walter Beauchamp, for the Earl of Warwick, that learned men might examine the matter,* 1.43 and if they should find the same otherwise over - ruled than the law would, that the said commandement might be reformed, and that they might de∣clare for the Lord of Warwicks possession,* 1.44 and suffer him to enjoy the same peaceably, seeing that all exceptions given on the Earl Marshals part, may not hurt the possession of the Earl of Warwick.

The writings of both sides being shewed, it was desired for the Earl Marshall,* 1.45 that forasmuch as in his opinion he had brought sufficient proof, he might have Judgemenr,* 1.46 and that the Earl of Warr. might be excluded from claiming, or challenging the said place; and that all matters declared for the Earl Marshall, might be entred of record.* 1.47

And for the better and more speedy determination of the said Controversy, the said Iohn Earl Marshall caused to be shewed un∣to the Court of Parliament,* 1.48 that R. 2. by his Letters Patents da∣ted the 21. year of his reign, created Thomas then Earl of Notting∣ham and Marshall of England, Duke of Norfolk,* 1.49 giving him also for the better sustentation of the said Title, forty marks yearly:* 1.50 to hold both the said title, and stipend to him and ••is heirs males, which said Thomas Duke had issue, Thomas and Iohn, now Earl Marshall, which Thomas died without issue, and so the said Iohn claimeth to be Duke of Norfolk, as heir u••to his brother Thomas.

* 1.51The said Earl Marshall made humble petition to the King, and to the said Duke of Gloucester, his beloved Uncle, and the rest of the Lords, that he might be so reputed, and declared Duke in that Parliament;* 1.52 saving alwayes the right of possession of him, and his heirs of his body coming as Earles of Nor••olk, to his place in that high Court, above his said Cousin the Earl of Warwick; desiring all that all other matters by him and his Councell notified,* 1.53 and de∣clared, might be entred of record.* 1.54

* 1.55The King upon consideration of the said Letters Patents, and such other proofs as the said Earl Marshall had made and decla∣red, by the advise and consent of the Lords spirituall and tempo∣rall, and the Commons of the realm, &c. caused it to be declared, and with one assent accorded; That the foresaid Iohn Earl Mar∣shall, as son of the aforesaid Thomas, Duke and brother, and heir of the said Thomas son of Thomas, by vertue of the said Letters Pa∣tents, and by succession, should from thenceforth be held and re∣puted Duke of Norfolk,* 1.56 and should use and enjoy the stile, title, name, and honour of the Duke of Norfolk, according to the tenor of the aforesaid Letters Patents: which declaration &c. accorded, the said Lord Chancellor by authority from the King, openly de∣livered; whereupon the foresaid Iohn, as Duke of Norfolk, imme∣diately did homage to the King;* 1.57 which done, the King command∣ed the said Duke, to take his place amongst his equalls, which he did most thankfully.

The Parliament holden at Westminster the last of A∣pril, in the third year of King Henry the Sixth.

[unspec 1] * 1.58AT the beginning of the Parliament before, the King sitting in person in the chair of Estate, in the painted Chamber, there being the Lords and Commons,* 1.59 the Bishop of Winchester Chancel∣lor of England,* 1.60 declared; that the Kings will was, that all Estates should enjoy their liberties:* 1.61 and for his Theam he took these words, Gloria, honor, & pax, omni operanti bonum: the which he di∣vided

into three parts, viz. bonum honestum, as which consisted in due obeysance of the Subject••:* 1.62 bonum del••ctabile, as which stood in giving good Counsell:* 1.63 and bonum utile, which was by free and wil∣ling sustentation, or relieving the Prince, and Commonwealth.

[unspec 2] By the first, God was most glorified: by the second, the Prince best honoured: by the third, the Subjects sa••ety governed; according to the saying of Luke, Gloria in excelsis Deo, & in terra pax, hominibus bona voluntas. Glory is given to God by due obedience of the Sub∣jects:* 1.64 the Prince is honoured by sound Counsell:* 1.65 the Subjects go∣verned in peace, by relieving the Prince: wherein he affirmeth that Princes ought to be obeyed, though they were evil, according to the saying of Peter, obedite praepositis: for albeit they were not good, yet for that they commanded many good things to be obser∣ved, they ought to be obeyed;* 1.66 and remembreth, Sicut Princeps tene∣tur regere regaliter, sic plebs obedire.

[unspec 3] The second division touching sound Counsell,* 1.67 he allegeth, Sa∣pient. 12. Salus ubi multa consilia; and therein shewing, how the Ele∣phant had three properties;* 1.68 the one for that he wanted a gall; the second, ••or that he was inflexible, and could not bow; the third, for that he was of a most sound and perfect memory; the which pro∣perties, by application, he wished to be in all Counsellers.* 1.69 First, that wanting a gall, they should thereby be free from all malice,* 1.70 rancor, and envy; by being inflexible,* 1.71 that they should worship no reward,* 1.72 nor in Judgement respect any person;* 1.73 of a ripe me∣mory,* 1.74 that they by remembring perils past, might prevent dangers to come.

[unspec 4] The third, for relieving the King;* 1.75 he proved that the same ought to be done with all readinesse of mind, considering that God by the young Prince, his chosen vessel, had not only governed them in safety, but also given to them honourable victories,* 1.76 and great conquests:* 1.77 all which ought to enforce them more willingly to offer, than the same should readily be taken. Wherefore he wil∣leth the Commons by their assembling to choose their Speaker,* 1.78 and the next day to present him.* 1.79

[unspec 5] Receivers of petitions for England,* 1.80 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

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

[unspec 7] Tryers of petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 8] Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne, &c. as above.

[unspec 9] On Wednesday the second of May, the Commons presented be∣fore the King, and Lords, Sr. Tho. Nanton knight,* 1.81 to be their Speaker, whose excuse being refused,* 1.82 he with his protestation was allowed.

[unspec 10] A great debate arose upon the Claim of Iohn Earl Marshall a∣gainst Richard Earl of Warr touching the higher place in the Parli∣ament house,* 1.83 both of which Earles were commanded,* 1.84 not to come at the house, till the matters were fully heard, but that the Coun∣cell learned of either of them, should be heard what they could say

touching the same: And for that the Lords should be Judges of the same,* 1.85 the Duke of Gloucester being Protector,* 1.86 and other the Bishops, Lords, and others of the lower house, swore upon the Gospel,* 1.87 that they would uprightly judge the case,* 1.88 leaving all affe∣ction.

[unspec 11] For the proving of the Earl Marshalls title,* 1.89 Roger Hunt, of his Councell learned,* 1.90 exhibited to the Lords a Pedegree,* 1.91 shewing, that the said Earl Marshall came of the bloud royall,* 1.92 and gave the Armes of England,* 1.93 whereby he ought to be preferred.

Note, the said Pedegree proveth the Earl Marshall to come of the bloud royall, from E. 1. It farther sheweth the said Earl to be allyed in bloud to the King, from Tho∣mas Earl of Lancaster.* 1.94 It also affirmeth the said Earl to be allied in bloud to the King, by the line of the Earl of Arundell.* 1.95

[unspec 12] To all this Sr. Walter Beauchamp Knight,* 1.96 being of the Councell learned of the Earl of Warr. answereth,* 1.97 and by many authorities, sheweth; that Antiquitie hath had superioritie above the bloud royall, and so enforced the title of the Earl of Warr. but chiefly he relyeth upon the possession of the Earl of Warwick.* 1.98

Herein is to be noted, that the affirmations, answers, and replications of both parties being very long, contain many good reasons, and sundry lines of Noble-men very delectable to be read.

[unspec 13] The Councell for both these Earles were instant for Judgement:* 1.99 in the end it was devised, and the said Earl Marshall for pacifying of the same, required, that he might be restored to be Duke of Norfolk,* 1.100 according to the Creation of Thomas his father, as brother, and heir to Thomas who died without issue, son of the said Thomas his father; the which for sundry considerations worthy the sight, was granted.

[unspec 14] On Friday the fifteenth day of May, the Duke of Gloucester by the Kings Letters Patents there read,* 1.101 proroged the Parliament from the same day, unto the Thursday then ensuing.

[unspec 15] * 1.102Iohn Lord Talbot, with other Lords there named, were bound by recognizance in the Chancery, that the said Iohn should keep the peace towards Hugh Wenlockward, that he should appear at the next Parliament.* 1.103

[unspec 16] The Lords of the Parliament by name, promised by their faiths,* 1.104 to the Bishop of VVinchester, that they will not hinder, but further such assurance as shall be made to the said Bishop by the King,* 1.105 for money to him lent.

[unspec 17] * 1.106The Commons by the assent of the Bishops, and Lords, grant to the King the Subsidie of wools for three years; and Tonnage and Poundage for one year,* 1.107 upon condition, that Merchants Aliens should hardly be looked unto.

[unspec 18] Touching the charge of Scotish hostages according to one Arti∣cle of league,* 1.108 it is enacted, that the Wardens of the Marches shall

not hereafter be impeached for attempting any hostage for the o∣ther, but that upon their oathes they be discharged.* 1.109 And further, that they may take two, or more hostages, for one, as of good will, and no duty.

[unspec 19] It is enacted, that the quarrell, and combat betwixt the Duke of Gloucester,* 1.110 and Duke of Burgaine, do in no case proceed, but, that the same by the Kings Letters Patents, be committed to the old French King, the Kings mother, and to the regent of France, and that the Duke of Burgain do deliver into indifferent hands, the per∣son of my Lord of Gloucester.

[unspec 20] It is enacted, that the Kings Councell shall have power to make assurances to the Bishop of Winchester,* 1.111 and other of the Kings Cre∣ditors,* 1.112 of all such debts as are due to them.

[unspec 21] After which, the Kings Letters Patents were made to the said Bishop,* 1.113 to receive 20000 l. of the first money of the Kings Cu∣stomes, or Revenues of the Crown arising, the which are confir∣med, for which also the Kings Jewells are to him gaged.* 1.114

[unspec 22] Where Iohn Bishop of Ely in affidavit against Iohn Baldward of Sutton,* 1.115 and others, recovered 4000 Acres of Marish in Wisbich.

It is enacted, that the execution of the said recovery should stay unto a certain time,* 1.116 and that before the same time, there should be a perambulation made between the Shires of Lincoln,* 1.117 and Cam∣bridge,* 1.118 by which, if it fell out that any of the premisses were with∣in the County of Lincoln, that then neither the said Bishop, nor any of the Tenants within the County of Wisbich-hundred,* 1.119 shall claim any common of pasture in any of the same found,* 1.120 and con∣trarily, that the said Baldward, and other Tenants of Sutton, should claim no common in any of the premisses found to be within the County of Cambridge.

At the petition of the said Earl of Huntington,* 1.130 the Lord of Gan∣court and Totovill, French Prisoners,* 1.131 are delivered to the said Sr. Iohn Cornwall for 5000 markes disbursed for part of the said Earls ransome.* 1.132
