* 1.222FIrst, 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,* 1.223 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.
* 1.224The Earl of Warwick by the mouth of Sr. Walter Beauchamp, saith, that though the Earl Marshall claimeth place in Parliament by bloud,* 1.225 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.
* 1.226First, 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.
* 1.227Item also King H. 4. kept a great Councell at Westminster, where debate was moved between the Earles of Kent,* 1.228 and Arundell, for their places in Parliament, and likewise between the Earl of War∣wick,* 1.229 and the Earl Marshall, brother to the now Earl Marshall, where it was determined,* 1.230 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,* 1.231 and so they were both set personal∣ly in possession.
* 1.232In 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.* 1.233
* 1.234Item, in a letter sent to the Pope by King R. 2. for the matter of provision,* 1.235 the name and seal of the Earl of Warwick, was set be∣fore the Earl Marshall.
* 1.236Item, though the Earl of Arundell be not of the bloud royall,* 1.237 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.
* 1.238Item, 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,* 1.239 then being Earl of Dorset,* 1.240 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,* 1.241 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.* 1.242
Item, it was declared that E. 1. had issue by his second wife,* 1.243 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,* 1.244 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,* 1.245 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,* 1.246 by whom she had two sons, and two daughters, the one named Earl of Hereford, and the other Earl of Northampton;* 1.247 the elder daughter being wedded to Courtney afterwards Earl of Devonshire,* 1.248 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,* 1.249 un∣till the title of both parties were by their Councell declared in writing;* 1.250 there were then writings exhibited into the Court, de∣claring each others titles.
Item, it was alleged for the said Earl of Warwick,* 1.251 that he ought to enjoy the possession of the place in Parliament,* 1.252 till the said Earl Marshall had a Judgement for his right.* 1.253
Item, it was answered for the Earl Marshall,* 1.254 that such possession had against Title of right,* 1.255 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.* 1.256
Item, it was desired by Walter Beauchamp, for the Earl of Warwick, that learned men might examine the matter,* 1.257 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,* 1.258 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,* 1.259 that forasmuch as in his opinion he had brought sufficient proof, he might have Judgemenr,* 1.260 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.* 1.261
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,* 1.262 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,* 1.263 giving him also for the better sustentation of the said Title, forty marks yearly:* 1.264 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.
* 1.265The 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;* 1.266 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,* 1.267 and de∣clared, might be entred of record.* 1.268
* 1.269The 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,* 1.270 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;* 1.271 which done, the King command∣ed the said Duke, to take his place amongst his equalls, which he did most thankfully.
[unspec 1] * 1.272AT 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,* 1.273 the Bishop of Winchester Chancel∣lor of England,* 1.274 declared; that the Kings will was, that all Estates should enjoy their liberties:* 1.275 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••:* 1.276 bonum del••ctabile, as which stood in giving good Counsell:* 1.277 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:* 1.278 the Prince is honoured by sound Counsell:* 1.279 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;* 1.280 and remembreth, Sicut Princeps tene∣tur regere regaliter, sic plebs obedire.
[unspec 3] The second division touching sound Counsell,* 1.281 he allegeth, Sa∣pient. 12. Salus ubi multa consilia; and therein shewing, how the Ele∣phant had three properties;* 1.282 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.* 1.283 First, that wanting a gall, they should thereby be free from all malice,* 1.284 rancor, and envy; by being inflexible,* 1.285 that they should worship no reward,* 1.286 nor in Judgement respect any person;* 1.287 of a ripe me∣mory,* 1.288 that they by remembring perils past, might prevent dangers to come.
[unspec 4] The third, for relieving the King;* 1.289 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,* 1.290 and great conquests:* 1.291 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,* 1.292 and the next day to present him.* 1.293
[unspec 5] Receivers of petitions for England,* 1.294 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 9] On Wednesday the second of May, the Commons presented be∣fore the King, and Lords, Sr. Tho. Nanton knight,* 1.295 to be their Speaker, whose excuse being refused,* 1.296 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,* 1.297 both of which Earles were commanded,* 1.298 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,* 1.299 the Duke of Gloucester being Protector,* 1.300 and other the Bishops, Lords, and others of the lower house, swore upon the Gospel,* 1.301 that they would uprightly judge the case,* 1.302 leaving all affe∣ction.
[unspec 11] For the proving of the Earl Marshalls title,* 1.303 Roger Hunt, of his Councell learned,* 1.304 exhibited to the Lords a Pedegree,* 1.305 shewing, that the said Earl Marshall came of the bloud royall,* 1.306 and gave the Armes of England,* 1.307 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.* 1.308 It also affirmeth the said Earl to be allied in bloud to the King, by the line of the Earl of Arundell.* 1.309
[unspec 12] To all this Sr. Walter Beauchamp Knight,* 1.310 being of the Councell learned of the Earl of Warr. answereth,* 1.311 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.* 1.312
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:* 1.313 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,* 1.314 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,* 1.315 proroged the Parliament from the same day, unto the Thursday then ensuing.
[unspec 15] * 1.316Iohn 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.* 1.317

[unspec 18] Touching the charge of Scotish hostages according to one Arti∣cle of league,* 1.322 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.* 1.323 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,* 1.324 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,* 1.325 and other of the Kings Cre∣ditors,* 1.326 of all such debts as are due to them.
[unspec 21] After which, the Kings Letters Patents were made to the said Bishop,* 1.327 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.* 1.328

It is enacted, that the execution of the said recovery should stay unto a certain time,* 1.330 and that before the same time, there should be a perambulation made between the Shires of Lincoln,* 1.331 and Cam∣bridge,* 1.332 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,* 1.333 shall claim any common of pasture in any of the same found,* 1.334 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.

[unspec 1] ON Thursday, being the next day after St. Matthew, the twen∣tieth day of September, before the king himself then sitting in the Chair of Estate in the Chamber de pinct. the Lords,* 1.593 * 1.594 and Com∣mons being there present, Iohn Arch-Bishop of York, and Chancel∣lor of England,* 1.595 declared learnedly the cause of the same Par∣liament,* 1.596 taking for his Theam, Luke 11. Quomodo stabit reg∣num, &c.
[unspec 2] The which text, as to the realm of England, he divided into two parts, the one by way of admiration, the other by way of questi∣on. He noted causes three, viz. want of Faith,* 1.597 the which was the root of all vice, Eò quod sine side impossibile est placere Deo; the second, the want of due Fear,* 1.598 being the author of every good mind, Nam qui nihil timet, negliget; the third for want of upright Justice,* 1.599 being the pillar of every Kingdome, namely, ex Iustitia sequitur pax, & ex pace rerum abundantia maxime procreatur.
[unspec 3] In place of which three vertues, he shewed, that within this realm three vices reigned, namely, Infidelity by errors and here∣sies:* 1.600 Obstinacy instead of fear,* 1.601 and Oppression in place of Justice. Through Infidelity he shewed how Iean and the late Kingdome of Bohemia were destroyed.* 1.602 Fear he divided into two parts, the one spirituall, and vertuous, as fearing God,* 1.603 and man for God; the other carnall,* 1.604 and vicious, as whereby murmure, and rebellion
spring, which procured destruction, such as happened to Chore, Dathan, and Abiram. Numb. 16. He also proveth, that for oppres∣sion ensued transferring of kingdomes,* 1.605 according to Eccles. 10. regnum alienum in regnum transfertur propter in••us••icias, & inju∣rias.
[unspec 4] So farre to the first by way of admiration: to the second by way of question, He affirmed, that if true Faith,* 1.606 due Fear,* 1.607 and upright Justice might be restored,* 1.608 there was then no doubt but that this kingdome should flourish. He further sheweth, that as the Prince was bound to defend the Subjects,* 1.609 and to keep peace, so ought the Subjects to minister to the Prince liberally of their goods, to the atchieving of the same, to which end the same Parliament was called, wherefore he willed the Commons to choose, and to pre∣sent their Speaker the next day unto the King.* 1.610

[unspec 17] For that no Cardinall is to be of any Kings Councell,* 1.631 but at his own pleasure, the Bishops and Lords assented, that humble re∣quest should be made to the said Cardinall,* 1.632 to vouchsafe to be made of the Councill, with this protestation,* 1.633 that the said Cardi∣nall should absent himself in all affaires, and Councills of the King, wherein the Pope,* 1.634 or See of Rome was touched upon; which request ••o made, the Cardinall took upon him the same in form aforesaid.

[unspec 25] That all the Bishops,* 1.1910 and Lords in full Parliament shall swear to the said Duke, and to his Heires, in form afore∣said.
[unspec 26] That the said Duke,* 1.1911 and his two Sons, shall swear to defend the Lords for this agreement.
[unspec 27] The King,* 1.1912 by assent of the Lords, agreeth to all the Ordinances aforesaid, of his free motion.
[unspec 28] The King, by the assent aforesaid, utterly repealeth the said Statute of Intayl,* 1.1913 made Anno 1. H. 4. so alwayes as hereafter there be no better title proved, for the defeating of this title and Act.
[unspec 29] After all this, in the 〈◊〉〈◊〉 of A••hall••es, the said Duke,* 1.1914 and the two Earls his Sons, came into the Parliament Chamber before the King and Lords, and there promised, and sware to perform the accord aforesaid, with protestation, if the King for his part du∣ly observed the same; the which the King then promised to doe: The which protestation the said Duke and Earls required to be enrolled.
[unspec 30] The King, by his Letters Patents,* 1.1915 assigneth to the said Duke sundry Countries, and other Hereditaments in Wales, and else∣where, to the yearly value of 10000 Markes, as is afore∣said.

[unspec 33] Whereas such Hereditaments of the Dutchy of Lancaster,* 1.1919 as the King had put in Feoffment to the use of his will,* 1.1920 there was appoin∣ted one Chief Steward,* 1.1921 and Chancellor, one General Receivor, and Attorney General, and Auditors, with fees accordingly; The King, by assent of Parliament, revoketh all the said Offi∣ces, and Fees of the same grant, so all the said premisses in Feoff∣ment shall be under the rule and government of such Chancellors,* 1.1922 and other Officers as were and had the same, before the said Feoff∣ment made.
[unspec 34] It is enacted, that all the revenues of the Dutchy of Lancaster,* 1.1923 as well of Land and Feoffment, as otherwise, shall be received by the Receiver General of the said Dutchy,* 1.1924 for two years, and by him
payed over to the Treasurer of England,* 1.1925 and touching weighty af∣fairs of the Realm,* 1.1926 wherein are contained principal provisions for Foreiners, and Officers of the said Dutchie.
