The Parliament holden at Westminster the Munday in the Feast of St. Faith in the First year of King HENRY the Fourth.

* 1.21 THe same Monday being the 6th. of October, Thomas de Arun∣dell, Archbishop of Canterbury, by the Kings comman∣dement,* 1.3 who then sate in his Royall Estate in the great Hall at Westminster,* 1.4 there being present the Lords and Commons, de∣clared how that a Parliament was summoned by King Richard, to be holden there the Tuesday next before, the which summons was undone and void by the acceptation of the renouncing of the same King Richard,* 1.5 and deposing of him, made the same Tuesday in the presence of the King, Lords, and Commons, as by the Process hereafter shall appear.

* 1.62 He then shewed, how this most famous Realm for abundance of all felicities, was long governed by children and young Councell,* 1.7 and thereby like utterly to have been despoiled and wasted, had not God sent a wise and discreet man to govern the same,* 1.8 who meant by Gods help to be governed by the wise and old heads of the Realm.* 1.9

* 1.103 After this he took for his Theam these words of the Macca∣bees, 1. Incumbit nobis ordinare pro Regno, and that is to say, It is the Kings will to be governed by the Honorable, Discreet, and Sage of the Realm, and by their common consent, and not by his own will, ne after his own fashion to rule the same; And further enforced, that this Realm of any under the Sun might best live of it self, and for proof alledged this Authority, quod inter Regna, hoc principatum tenet.

* 1.114 He further addeth, that to every good government three things belong, viz. Justice;* 1.12 the Laws duely observed;* 1.13 and every Estate in his vocation well governed: and thereupon heaped many reasons, whereof this Realm ought with all renown to be governed: and said further, that the King meant to observe those three points.

* 1.145 He concluded, that King Henry their Lord, meant to be crowned the Monday ensuing, and after that done, wholly to addict him∣self to matters touching the Common-Wealth:* 1.15 and prayeth of the Commons,* 1.16 the continuance of the Parliament untill the Tuesday ensuing:* 1.17 after which Henry de Percie, Earl of Northumberland,* 1.18 and Constable of England, demanded of the Lords and Commons by the Kings commandment, whether they would agree to the same continuance, who all being severally examined, agreed there∣unto.

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

7 Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin,* 1.19 and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isles.

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

9 Tryars of Petitions for Gascoin, &c. as above.

The Record of the renunciation of King Richard the Second,* 1.20 and the acceptation of the same, together with the deposition of the said King.

10 On Monday the Feast of St. Michaell, in the 23 year of the raign of King Richard, The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bi∣shop of Hereford, Henry Earl of Northumberland, Ralph Earl of Westmerland, Hugh Lord Burnell, Thomas Lord Berkley, the Prior of Canterbury, and the Abbot of Westminster, William Thurming Knight, William Markham Justice, Thomas Stow, Iohn Bur••ach, Doctors of the Law, Thomas of Erpinham, and Thomas Gray, Knights, William Forraby, and Dennis Lopham, publique Nota∣ries by the assent of sundry of the Lords Spirituall and Tempo∣rall,* 1.21 and other Lawyers of of all faculties,* 1.22 gathered in Councell in Westminster in the place accustomed, appointed to execute the Act here underwritten, came to the presence of King Richard, being in the Tower, about nine of the clock.

11 The Earl of Northumberland for and in the name of them all, remembred the said King Richard,* 1.23 of his promise made to the said Arch-Bishop, and to him the said Earl at Conway in Wales, at what time the said King Richard was at libertie, How that he for certain defaults and inabillities in himself to rule, would renounce and give up the Crowns of England and France, with the whole rule of the same, and that by the best advice that could be devised; King Richard thereto mildly answered, That he would willingly accom∣plish the same.

12 After this the same day Henry Duke of Lancaster, accompa∣nied with the persons aforesaid, with the Arch-Bishop of Canter∣bury, the Lords of Roos, Willoughby and of Burgaveny, came into the Tower into the presence of the said King Richard,* 1.24 where, after familiar talk had between the King, the Duke, and Arch Bishop of Canterbury, and sundry chearfull countenances; In the end the same King, calling all them that were present, said openly That he was ready to make his aforesaid Renunciation; and thereupon it was of∣fered that the Instrument should be read by an Order.* 1.25 The same King, notwithstanding willingly and chearfully took and through∣ly read the same Instrument, in effect following.

13 The Instrument contained a clear absolution and discharge of all his Subjects Oaths and Obeysance;* 1.26 with free renouncing of all Regiment and Rule, and all things belonging thereto; to all which he swore upon the Gospell, never in thought, word, or deed to impugn, but wholly to observe the same: the which Scedule or Instrument he subscribed with his own hand.* 1.27

14 After which done, the same King by word affirmed, That

if it had been in his power, he would have appointed the said Duke of Lancaster to have succeeded him,* 1.28 which sith it did not, he required the said Arch Bishop of Canterbury and the Bishop of Hereford, whom he made his Procurators,* 1.29 to publish the same to the whol Estates and in token thereof pulled from his own finger a Ring of Gold of his own privy Signet,* 1.30 and put the same on the Dukes fin∣ger.

* 1.3115 This company bidding the King farewell, departed out of the Tower, and came the next day into the great Hall of West∣minster, the place being honorably garnished for the Parliament,* 1.32 where the said Arch-Bishop and Duke, and other Bishops and Lords after named, together with the Commons siting in their accustomed place, where also the Kings Seat being very richly decked was void of any President;* 1.33 A•• which time the Arch-Bi∣shop of Canterbury and Bishop of Hereford caused the renunciati∣on aforesaid to be openly read and declared,* 1.34 with all other circum∣stances; of which the Arch Bishop as chief was first demanded, and so orderly of all others, whether they would admit the same Confession or no, all who particularly admitted the same.

* 1.3516 After which admission it was thought good and expedient over and above the same, to expresse by certain Articles, the evill government of the King, whereby he ought justy to be depo∣sed.

* 1.3617 First was alledged the Kings Oath made at his Corona∣tion.

* 1.3718 The Objections and Articles laid against the King Richard wherefore he was deposed, are in the whole the number of 33 worth the noting and well marking.

* 1.3819 First for wasting and bestowing of the lands of the Crown upon unworthy persons, and over charging the Commons with Exactions.* 1.39

* 1.4020 For that the King by undue means procured divers Justices to speak against the Law, to the destruction of the Duke of Glou∣cester, and the Earls of Arundell and Warwick at Shrewsbu∣ry.

* 1.4121 For that the King against his promise, procured the Duke of Ireland sundry Rebels about Cheshire, where diverse murders by him were committed.

* 1.4222 For that the King against his own promise and pardon, at the solemne procession apprehended the Duke of Gloucester, and sent him to Callice, there to be choked and murdered, beheading the Earl of Arundell, and banishing the Earl of Warwick, and the Lord Cobham.

* 1.4323 For that the Kings retinue, and rout gathered out of Cheshire about the apprehension of those Nobles, committed diverse Mur∣ders, Rapes, and other Fellonies, besides refusing to pay for their Victualls.

24 For that the King condemned the Nobles aforesaid,* 1.44 for diverse rodes made within the Realm, contrary to his open Proclama∣tion.

25 For that the King doubly Fined men for their pardons.* 1.45

26 For that the King to oppress his whole Subjects, procured in his l••st Parliament, that the power thereof was committed to certain Persons.* 1.46

27 For that the King being sworne to minister right, did notwith∣standing enact in the last Parliament, that no mediation should be made for the Duke of Lancaster,* 1.47 contrary to his said Oath.

28 For that the Crown of England being freed from the Pope,* 1.48 and all other forraign power, the King notwithstanding procured the Popes Excommunication on such as brake the last Parliament,* 1.49 in derogation of the Crown, Statutes and Laws of the Realm.

29 For that the King banished the Duke of Lancaster for 10. years,* 1.50 without any cause, as the same King openly affirmed.

30. For that the King unlawfully revoked the Letters Patents,* 1.51 made to the said Duke of Lancaster, as in An 21. Tit. 87.

31 For that the King contrary to the Laws and wills of the Justices, suffered Sheriffs to continue longer than one year,* 1.52 and placed such therein, as were unfit.* 1.53

32. For that the King repayed not to his Subjects debts of them borrowed.* 1.54

33 For that the King in the time of Truce and Peace, exacted great Subsidies,* 1.55 and wasted the same about frivilous matters.

34 For that the King refused to execute the lawes,* 1.56 saying that the lawes were in his Mouth and Breast.* 1.57

35 For that the King, by procuring by Statutes that he might be free as any of his Progenitors,* 1.58 did under colour thereof convert lawes according to his will.

36 For this which agreeth with the first part of the thirtieth title before.

37 For that the King procured Knights of the Shires to be made to serve his own will.* 1.59

38 For that the King enforced Sheriffs to be sworn to execute all commandements under the great Seal,* 1.60 privy Seal, or Signet, contrary to their accustomed Oaths.

39 For that the King, to wrack money from his Subjects,* 1.61 pro∣cured seventeen severall Shires to submit themselves to his Grace, whereby great summes of money were levied.

40 For that the King being sworn to observe the liberties of the Church,* 1.62 notwithstanding, at his Voyage into Ireland enforced di∣vers religious persons to give Horse, Armour, and Carts.

41 For that the Justices,* 1.63 for their good good councell given to the King, were with evill countenance, and threats rewar∣ded.

42 For that the King of his own will, in passing into Ireland,

carried with him, the Treasure,* 1.64 Reliques, and other Jewels of the Realm, which were used safely to be kept in the Kings own Coffers from all hazard: and for that the same King cancelled,* 1.65 and razed sundry Records.

* 1.6643 For that the King by writing to foraign Princes, and to his own Subjects is reputed universally, a most variable & dissembling man.

* 1.6744 For that the King would commonly say among the Nobles, that all Subjects Lives,* 1.68 Lands, and Goods, were in his hands with∣out any forfeiture.

45 For that the King suffered his Subjects to be condemned by Marshall Law,* 1.69 contrary to his Oath and the Laws of the Realm.

46 For that the Subjects being only bound by their allegiance, were yet driven to take certain new Oaths,* 1.70 for serving the folly of the King.

47 For that the King by his private Letters, would charge the Ecclesiastical Ministers in any new Canonical matter,* 1.71 to stay, con∣trary to his Oath.

48 For that the King by force in his Parliament, banished the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury,* 1.72 without any good ground.

49 For that the King by his last will passed under the great Seal and privie Signet, gave unto his Successors, certain Money and Treasure, upon condition to perform all the Acts and Orders in the last Parliament,* 1.73 which being ungodly, and unlawfull, he meant as ungodlily to dye in.

50 For that the King in the 11. of his Raign, in his Chappell, in the Mannour of Langley, in the presence of the Duke of Lan∣caster and York, and others, received the Sacrament of the Lords Body, that he would never impeach the Duke of Gloucester his Un∣cle,* 1.74 for any thing before done, and yet to the contrary he procured him to be murdered.

51 For that the King most fraudulently and untruely against his own Oath, banished the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury,* 1.75 and wasted his Goods: in which Article in private conference between the King and the said Arch Bishop, the King in a manner prophesied,* 1.76 and doubted that the like would happen of himself, and thereupon shewed a speciall token to the Arch Bishop, that if he sent the same at any time, that the Arch-Bishop should look that the King would come to him.

52 After this for the causes aforesaid, and the Kings own con∣fession of his defects, the same seemed sufficient to the whole Estates for the Kings deposition:* 1.77 whereupon by one consent, they appoin∣ted the Bishop of Asaph, the Abbot of Glastonbury, the Earl of Lancaster, the Lord Berkley, Sir Thomas Erpingham, and Sir Thomas Gray Knights, and Sir William Thurning Justices, Commissioners for giving sentence of deposition,* 1.78 and deposing of the same King R.

53 The sentence of deposition by the Commissioners aforesaid.* 1.79

54 This being done, Henry Duke of Lancaster, so soone as the

Kingdome was vacant, arose out of his seat, and standing upright, so as he might be seen of the whole people, did humbly cross him∣self on his forhead and brest, and first calling on the name of CHRIST, claimed the Kingdome and Crown of England,* 1.80 with the appurtenances, then being void, as his Inheritance descen∣ding by right from King Henry the Third, through Gods grace, through help of his Kindred and Friends.

55 After which claim made, and consultations had amongst the Lords and Estates,* 1.81 they altogether assented that the same Duke should raign over them; and fortwith so soon as the same King shewed unto the Estates the Signet of King Richard purporting the same their election; The Arch-Bishop of Canterbury took the same King Henry by the right hand, and brought him to the Royall Seat,* 1.82 where King Henry, on his knees, made a short prayer: after which the two Arch-Bishops brought and caused King Henry to sit in the Royall Seat.

56 And before the people could make an end of their joying, the Arch Bishop of Canterbury made a short Collation,* 1.83 taking this for his Theam; Vir dominabitur vobis 1. Reg. 9. He discourseth thereupon, and saith, God forgetting his offence, where he said, Dabo pueros Principes eorum Esai. 3. turns the same into mercie, and saies, Vir dominabitur populo; He then sheweth the properties of a Child,* 1.84 that soon promiseth and soon forgetteth, by which in∣conveniences no Kingdom could stand: He sheweth then the conditions of a man,* 1.85 which is to understand, to love, and to per∣sist in truth; And so applying the rule of King Richard to a Childs rule,* 1.86 and the rule of this King to the rule of a man, by discommending the one, and commending the other.

57 Which Collation ended, King Henry openly gave thanks to the whole Estates,* 1.87 and protested that by way of conquest,* 1.88 he meant not to diminish any mans right, but of such as had been a∣gainst the Common Wealth.* 1.89

58 After this for that the power of all Officers ceased, the King appointed his chief Officers and Justices,* 1.90 who were sworn after the accustomed manner: Proclamation was made,* 1.91 that on Monday next after the Feast of St. Michaell, the Parlia∣ment should be called at Westminster,* 1.92 so as on the Saturday before all such as claimed to do any service at the said Coronation,* 1.93 should be before the Steward, Constable, and Marshall of England, at the White Hall of the Palace of Westminster.

59 On Wednesday which was the next day after the Commissi∣oners,* 1.94 viz. the Bishop of Asaph for Arch-Bishops, and Bishops; the Abbot of Glastonbury, for all religious Persons, and the Earl of Gloucester, for Dukes and Earls, the Lord Berkley for Barons, and Bannerets, Sir Thomas Erpingham Chamberlain, for Batchellors and Commons of the South, Sir Thomas Gray for Batchellors and Commons of the North, Sir William Thurning, and Iohn Mark∣ham

Justices for the whole Estates came to the Tower to King Richard, of whom Sir William Thurning for and in the name of them all pronounced the Sentence of deposition,* 1.95 and the words of resignation of Homage and Loyaltie.* 1.96

60 The which are at large recorded to the effect aforesaid.

* 1.9761 After which words spoken, the said King answered, that he looked not after rule, but after all this he hoped that his Cosen would be a good Lord to him.

* 1.98Who throughly marketh this tragedy, shall not read the same without tears, and who well noteth the sequell, shall see new Lords, new Laws, and for new bloud-shed fresh revenge to ensue.* 1.99

* 1.10062 On Monday the day of St. Edward, King and Confessor, the same King Henry was Crowned at Westminster with all solemnitie and honour that appertained: at which day sundry of the Lords and others did their service due at such Coronation.* 1.101

* 1.102As doth appear hereafter.

* 1.10363 On Tuseday after, the Commons presented to the King Iohn Cheney for their Speaker, whom the King accepted, who forthwith made the Common Protestation which the King allowed.* 1.104

* 1.10564 On Wednesday ensuing, the same Sir Iohn with the Com∣mons, came before the King, at what time Sir Iohn declared, that for a sodain disease he was unable to serve, and how the Commons in his place had chosen Sir Iohn Doreward,* 1.106 beseeching the King to allow the same Sir Iohn Doreward to be the Speaker for the Com∣mons.

* 1.10765 The same Wednesday, the same Sir Iohn Doreward made the common Protestation for him and the whole Commons, as be∣fore, the which the King allowed.

* 1.10866 The Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords, to∣wards the Wars with Scotland,* 1.109 defence of Callice,* 1.110 provision for Ireland, amendment of the State, and in hope of their requests to be granted,* 1.111 granted to the King for three years the Subsidie of Wools, Skins, and Wooll-fells, viz. 50s. for every sack of Denizens, and four Pound of Strangers, one Desme, and one Fifteen.

* 1.11267 The print touching the repeal of the Parliament, An^o 21. R. 2. Cap. 3. agreeth with the Record in effect, though not in form.

* 1.11368 The print touching the affirmation of the Parliament, made An^o 11. Richard 2. Cap. 4. agreeth with the Record as next before.

* 1.11469 The print Cap. 5. touching the restitution of the Lords, and others forejudged in An^o 2. R. 2. agreeth with the Record as a∣bove.

70 It is enacted that all blank writings whatsoever which the City of London,* 1.115 and 17. other Counties for fear sealed to King Richard, shall be utterly void.

71 They will the same, and that from henceforth no such Commission be granted to any the Nobles to aid all matters as were granted in 21 R. 2.* 1.116 And further the print touching Treason cap. 10. agreeth with the Record.* 1.117

72 By the motion and means of the Archbishop of Canterbury every of the Lords and Commons, upon demand, assented and required, that Henry the Kings eldest Son might be created Prince of Wales,* 1.118 Duke of Cornwall,* 1.119 and Earl of Chester,* 1.120 and further, that he should succeed the King in the Realm of England,* 1.121 whom they promised to accept, and obey accordingly.

73 Whereupon the King sitting in his Royall Seat in full Par∣liament,* 1.122 set on a Circle on the head of the said Henry his eldest Son, and gave to him a Golden Ring on his finger,* 1.123 and put into his hand a Rod of Gold, and after kissed him,* 1.124 and thereof gave to him a Charter, and so created him Prince of Wales, Duke of Corn∣wall, and Earl of Chester•• and thereupon caused him, being so ar∣rayed by the Duke of York his Uncle, to be brought into the place in Parliament appointed for the Principalitie.* 1.125

Note that all the aforesaid Process was done the first Wed∣nesday in the Parliament.

74 On Thursday after, the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury, willed all the Lords in no wise to disclose any thing should be spoke: upon which the Earl of Northumberland demanded of the Lords what were best to be done for the life of the late King Richard,* 1.126 whom they would by all means to be saved; The Lords severally an∣swered,* 1.127 that it were good safely to keep him in some secret place from all concourse, and that by such sufficient Persons, as had not been familiar, or about him.

75 The Names of such Bishops, Lords, and Knights, as assen∣ted to the Imprisonment of King Richard.* 1.128

76 By full consent of all Bishops and Lords it was agreed, that Henry the Kings eldest Son, should from henceforth be called Prince of Wales,* 1.129 Duke of Aquitain and Cornwall, Earl of Chester, and heir apparent of the Realm of England.* 1.130

77 On Monday the 28 th. day of October, the King came into the Parliament into the great Hall of Westminster, where by the assent of the Bishops and Lords, Richard late King of England was adjudged to perpetuall Prison,* 1.131 as above.

78 On the same Monday the Commons declared to the King,* 1.132 how that the Duke of Brittain had sent word,* 1.133 how that he was rea∣dy to do the King all that which he ought to do: and therefore prayed that the Earldom of Richmond being his inheritance,* 1.134 might

not be granted away by any Letters Patents,* 1.135 the which the Com∣mons required; and further, that the Letters Patents thereof made to the Earl of Westmerland since the last Parliament might be re∣pealed, whereunto the King made answer, that the Letters Patents were granted long before.

* 1.13679 The Duke of York, and Earl of Northumberland, and others of the Bloud of the Arch Bishop of Canterbury, pray the King, that the same Arch Bishop might have his recoverie against Roger Wal∣den,* 1.137 for sundry wastes and spoyls done by the said Roger, in the Arch-Bishoprick aforesaid, whereto the King granted,* 1.138 and thanked them for their motion.

* 1.13980 The Commons on the 3. of November pray, that forasmuch as they were not made privie to the Judgment aforesaid,* 1.140 that no Record be made to charge, or to make them parties thereunto; whereunto the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury by the Kings Com∣mandment answered, that the Commons were only Petitioners,* 1.141 and that all Judgments appertain to the King,* 1.142 and to the Lords, unless it were in Statutes,* 1.143 Grants, Subsidies,* 1.144 or such like, the which order the King wou••d from that time to be observed.

* 1.14581 The Earl of Northumberland and Constable of England, the 10 day of November in full Parliament beseeched the King to purge him,* 1.146 and the Earl of Westmerland, Marshall of England, of the reproch layed on them, that they procured the King to war on Scotland:* 1.147 whereupon the King took upon himself the same,* 1.148 and caused the Earl of Northumberland to ask of every Lord his opini∣on touching the same War,* 1.149 who encouraged the King there∣unto.

* 1.15082 The King by the assent of the Lords and Commons, enacteth that Henry his eldest Son should have, and bear the name of Duke of Lancaster,* 1.151 and be called Prince of Wales, Duke of Aquitain, Lancaster and Cornwall, and Earl of Chester; And further that all such Liberties and Franchizes, as were granted to the Duke of the same Dutchie, should remain unto his said eldest Son, and to his Heirs, Dukes of Lancaster, dissevered from the Crown of Eng∣land, and thereupon delivered one Charter thereof made in Parlia∣ment to his eldest Son.* 1.152

* 1.15383 The King enacteth by the assent of the Lords, that a cer∣tain new people disguised in white garments, and pretending great Sanctimonie, and coming from beyond the Seas, be in no wise suffered to tarrie or harbour within the Realm.

* 1.15484 The King pardoneth and receiveth into his Protection Richard Clifford, then Keeper of the privie Seal,* 1.155 Richard Oltford the Bishop of Sarum, and Mr. Henry Bowell, who were exempted in An 11. Richard 2.

* 1.15685 The print touching Liveries, Cap. 7. agreeth with the Re∣cord in effect, but not in form.

86 The Commons grant to the King liberty by the advise of such wise men as he should call to him,* 1.157 to moderate, or to repeal the Statute of Provisors at any time made.* 1.158

2 The Duke of Albemarle answereth,* 1.336 that he was no contrive•• of the same Appe••l, and what he therein did, was at the Kings Commandment,* 1.337 and for fear of the contrary.

3 Touching the Kings exile,* 1.338 and revocation of his Patent, the same was against his will, as he calleth certain Lords to witness the same,* 1.339 he also excuseth h••mself for being of Councell, or of any privacie touching the death of the Duke of Gloucester.* 1.340

4 The Duke of Surrey prayeth the King to weigh his tender age,* 1.341 and small reputation at the time of the Appeal made: and fur∣ther saith in all points as the D••ke of Albemerle, all which he offer∣eth to approve, as the King should award.

* 1.35913 Whereupon the said Searl and Francis took the said Duke of Gloucester in o••••n upper Chamber, saying, that they would speak with him: unto whom when they were come there, they said, that the Kings will was, that he should be slain: the Duke answered thereto, if it be so, it is welcom••; Searl and Francis willed the Duke to take a Ch••plain, whom the Duke there took, and was con∣fessed.* 1.360

* 1.36114 After which confession they caused the Duke to lye upon a bed, upon whom so lying, the said Searl & Francis threw a Feather∣bed, the sides whereof the said Wil••iam Rogers, Dennis, and Cockle of the Chamber held, and Searl and Francis lay on the mouth of the said Duke untill he was de••d; Col••ox, Hampsley, and Bradstone sat that night by the Duke on their knees, weeping, and praying for the Soul of the said Duke, and Hall this Examinee kept the dore untill the Duke was slain.

2 He then took for his Theam, Rex vocavit Seniores terrae•• upon which he learnedly discoursed, how for the safetie of the Realm,* 1.1159 as well within, as without, and namely for the repressing of the Welch rebels,* 1.1160 for resisting Enemies of France, and Brit∣tain, who daily reenforced themselves for the Invasion of the Realm,* 1.1161 and subversion of the estate, for the observing of Peace,* 1.1162 and ministration of Justice,* 1.1163 the King had called the wise of the Realm, by them to be counselled.* 1.1164

3 He further sheweth, how by the last Parliament was no suffi∣cient remedie provided for the quailing of the Welch,* 1.1165 neither competent relief granted for the performance of so great exploits,* 1.1166 and ••or that the French had determined war with England,* 1.1167 and had then invaded the Dominion of Guienne,* 1.1168 they should not so much marvell at the sudden calling of this Parliament,* 1.1169 as they ought most speedily to determine for the avoiding of those so great mischiefs,* 1.1170 and imminent perils: wherefore he willeth the Com∣mons to chose,* 1.1171 and the next day to present to the King their Spea∣ker.

Anno Nono Henrici Quarti. The Parliament holden at Gloucester, the 20. of October, i•• the Ninth year of King Henry the Fourth.

[unspec 1] * 1.1506ON Thursday the 20. of October, for that sundry of the Com∣mons house upon calling made default, the Parliament was continued until the Monday ensuing.

[unspec 2] On Monday the 24. of October, the Archbishop of Canterbury Chancellor of England,* 1.1507 by the Kings commandment, in the presence of him, the Lords and Commons, declared the cause of the same Assembly, and for his Theme took these words, Regem honorificate: And thereby for three causes approved that the King ought to be honored.

[unspec 3] First, for that the King by maintaining the liberty of the Church honored God,* 1.1508 and therefore ought to be honored.

[unspec 4] * 1.1509Secondly, He ought to be honored for his great care towards his Subjects, as well in the observation of all Laws, as for the defence a∣gainst the Forein Enemies.

[unspec 5] Thirdly, for that since the time of his Coronation he shewed favor and pardon to any offendor that craved the same.* 1.1510

[unspec 6] * 1.1511He further sheweth, how in necessity every member of mans body would seek comfort of the head as the chief, and by application turned the same to the honoring of the King as the head.

[unspec 7] He further willeth them the same afternoon to choose their Speaker,* 1.1512 and to present him the next day to the King; and further to consider the Rebellion of the Welsh-men, the safe keeping of the Sea, the de∣fence of Guienne, Calice, and Ireland, and the Marches of the North, and how by their aid the same might be defended:

[unspec 8] Receivers of Petitions for England, Ireland, Wales, and Scotland.

* 1.1513Receivers of Petitions for Gascoin, and other places beyond the seas, and of the Isles.

[unspec 9] [unspec 10] Tryers of Petitions for England, &c. as above.

[unspec 11] Tryers of Petitions for Gascoin, &c. as above.

[unspec 12] * 1.1514On Tuesday the 25. of October the Commons presented their Speaker Thomas Chawcer, who after excuse of himself made, and affirmation of him, he made the common Protestation, which was granted.

[unspec 13] On Wednesday the 9. of November, the Comons came before the King, where the said Speaker repeated his former Protestation, and began to rehearse the grant of the Subsidies,* 1.1515 and the oaths of the Lords for the disposition of the same.

[unspec 14] Whereunto the Chancellor answered,* 1.1516 that no Accompts were made to the Commons for the disposition aforesaid; and that the Lords having little thanks thereof, would by no means take the like oath a∣gain, whereof the King on his request held them excused.

[unspec 15] After which the said Speaker made great complaint against Purvey∣ors: * 1.1517 Whereto the Steward and Treasurer of the Kings house answered, that upon special grant the same shall be remedied.

[unspec 16] This done, the said Speaker presented a Bill on the behalf of Sir Thomas Brook against William Widecombe;* 1.1518 upon the reading of which; the same Speaker required Judgment against the same William, whereof advice was taken, and the said William bound in 1000 l. to hear his Judgment in the Chancery.

[unspec 17] On Monday the 14. day of November, upon the coming of the Commons before the King and Lords,* 1.1519 the Speaker shewed the great discommodity for not keeping the sea, and for that such as had lands in the Marches of Wales dwelled not thereon, and prayed due consi∣deration thereof; the which was promised.

[unspec 18] At the request of the same Speaker, certain Lords by name were appointed to confer with the Commons.* 1.1520

[unspec 19] Touching the request of the Merchants made in the last Parliament, * 1.1521 tit. 142. the King granteth that Richard Oliderow late Admiral for the South and West be allowed 2668 l. to him due, and that he be dis∣charged of all Accompts.

[unspec 20] At the request of the Commons, the King grante••h to Thomas Sye and Iohn Camby the Priory of Hinkley,* 1.1522 being two Aliens, during the wars, for the yearly Rent of 41 l.

[unspec 21] A long Circumstance is made for words and displeasure taken be∣tween the Lords and Commons touching the grant of a Subsidy,* 1.1523 the 21. day of November: For the appeasing, whereof, on Friday the last day of this Parliament, this Order was taken, viz.

[unspec 22] That in all Parliaments, in the absence of the King, it should be lawful as well to the Lords by themselves, as to the Commons by themselves to debate of all matters touching the Realm,* 1.1524 and of the remedies, and not to disclose the same to the King before a determi∣nation thereof made, and that by the mouth of the Speaker. The which Order was made, for that part of the aforesaid displeasure arose by the means, that in the question of the Subsidy, the Lords made the King sundry times privy thereto, and brought answer therein from the King; upon which the Commons answered, that the same was agai••st their liberties.

[unspec 23] On the same last day of the Parliament the Speaker required,* 1.1525 that the Commons might depart with as great liberty as they had done heretofore;* 1.1526 and that sufficient means might be found for the keeping of the seas, and resistance of the Welsh men.

[unspec 24] The Speaker also in the behalf of the Commons prayed the King to give thanks to the Prince for his great travels in Wales,* 1.1527 for the which as well the King as the Prince gave thanks to the Commons; after which the Prince kneeling before the King purgeth the Duke of York of certain disloyal reports aga••nst him uttered, by affirming him in open Parliament to be a true and loyal Knight.

[unspec 25] The same Speaker moved the King to advance his Sons the Lords,* 1.1528 Thomas, Iohn, and Humfrey to some honourable names, and livings,

and to charge the Lords Marchers of Wales,* 1.1529 to keep their Castles, and other Fortresses.

[unspec 26] * 1.1530The Lords and Commons granted to the King one Desme and half, and the like Subsidie for Staple, and other Merchandize for two years, as in the last Parliament.

[unspec 27] [unspec 28] In consideration of the Subsidies aforesaid, the King promiseth that for two years then ensuing he will require no other Subsidies,* 1.1531 or other charge of his Subjects, and for more assurance thereof, willeth the same to be enacted, so as every man that would might have a copie thereof.

* 1.1532The King willeth that all men be payed their Annuities according to their deserts,* 1.1533 notwithstanding the Statute made in the last Parlia∣ment, Tit. 140.

* 1.1534Petitions of the Commons, with their Answers.

[unspec 29] * 1.1535The Print touching the Church, cap. 1. agreeth with the Re∣cord.

[unspec 30] * 1.1536At the Petitions of the Citizens of London the King granteth that they shall enjoy all their Liberties,* 1.1537 notwithstanding the Act made in the last Parliament, Tit. 127. by which it is to be noted, that the Act made as a••oresaid is revoked.

[unspec 31] * 1.1538That the Kings Letters Patents made to the University of Oxford, that they should not for any Felony answer before any other Judge then before their Steward,&c. may be revoked, considering that the same is in derogation of the Kings regality, and breach of the Liberties granted to the Citizens of Oxford, Vide 11 H. 4. tit. 50.

The Kings Councel by advice of the Judges have power to exa∣mine, and to take order herein untill the next Parliament, during which time the said new Liberties granted shall be suspended.* 1.1539

Anno decimo tertio Henrici Quarti. The Parliament holden at Westminster, the day af∣ter All Saints, in the thirteenth year of King Henry the fourth.

[unspec 1] [unspec 2] * 1.1684ON Wednesday being the next day after All Saints, and the third day of November, the Commons were called in the pre∣sence of the Steward of the Kings House according to the Order. After which, Thomas Beauford the Kings Brother, and Chancellor of England, by the Kings Letters Patents there read and enrolled, began, prorogued, and continued the same Parliament until the Wed∣nesday following.

On the said Wednesday, the said Chancellor by the Kings com∣mandment,* 1.1685 in his presence, and in the presence of all the Lords and Commons declared, how that the Parliament was called for three cau∣ses; namely, for the good governance of the Realm, due execution of Laws, and defence of the Realm, with the keeping of the Seas.

[unspec 3] [unspec 4] He then sheweth, to the good governance of the Realm belonged trusty Councel without affection,* 1.1686 and due obeysance without grudg∣ing. To due execution of Laws did appertain sincere keeping of the same, and speedy redress for fear of abusion: To the defence of the Realm, they needed hearty and willing releiving of the King in his di∣stresse, and discreet and speedy provision; for all which causes they were assembled.

* 1.1687He further pronounceth how the Kings pleasure was, that the Church, all persons, and Corporations should enjoy their Liberties, and for better expedition herein, he willeth the Commons by going together to chuse their Speaker, and the next day to present him to the King in full Parliament.

[unspec 5] Receivers of petitions for England,* 1.1688 Ireland, Wales, and Scot∣land.

[unspec 6]

[unspec 7] [unspec 8] Receivers of petitions for Gascoin, and other places beyond the Seas, and of the Isles.

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

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

On Tuesday the fifth of November, the Commons presented be∣fore the King and Lords Thomas Chaucer to be their Speaker,* 1.1689 who having no allowance of his excuse, prayed that he might speak under Protestation, whereunto they granted that he should speak as others before had done; so as the King would therein have no Novelty, and yet would also enjoy his Prerogative. The Speaker desired respite to

answer by Saturday following in Writing,* 1.1690 which was granted with such protestations as others before had,* 1.1691 and that whatsoever he should speak to the Kings displeasure might be imputed to his ignorance on∣ly, the which the King granted.

[unspec 10] The Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords, granted to the King for one year the like Subsidy of Tunnage,* 1.1692 and Poundage, as in the last Parliament, tit. 45. so always as the same should be con∣fessed to proceed of their own good will, and not of duty.

They also grant that every person having twenty pound land,* 1.1693 above all charges, all pay six shillings eight pence that any person hath; except lands purchased in Mor••main,* 1.1694 before the twentieth year of E. 1. and of all lands purchased in Frank-Almoin, since the said twentieth year.

[unspec 11] On Monday the last day of November, the Speaker in the name of the Commons,* 1.1695 prayed the King to give thanks to the Prince, and others appointed to be of the Kings Councel in the last Parliament, the which the King did, and namely, for well imploying the treasure in the same Parliament granted.

[unspec 12] William Lord Roos of Hamalake complaineth against Robert Thir∣wit one of the Justices of the Kings Bench,* 1.1696 for with-holding from him, and his Tenants of his Mannor of Melton le Roos in Lincolnshire cer∣tain Common of pasture, and of Turbary or Turf in Warbie in the County of Lincoln aforesaid, and for lying in wait with the number of five hundred men for the Lord Roos.* 1.1697 Sir Robert Thirwit before the King confessed his fault, and craveth pardon, offering further to stand to the Order of two Lords of the kindred of the said Lord Roos such as he should chuse, whereto the King agreed, the Lord Roos chose the Archbishop of Canterbury, and the Lord Grey.

[unspec 13] The said Archbishop and Lord Grey Chamberlain to the King make a long award,* 1.1698 leaving the right of the Common aforesaid, to the de∣termination of William Gascoin Chief Justice, and further it was en∣joyned to the said Sir Robert that at a day certain he should prepare at Melton Roos aforesaid, two Tuns of Gascoin Wine, two fat Oxen, and twelve fat sheep, and other preparation fit therefore, and that he should bring thither all such Knights, Esquires, and Yeomen as were of his aforesaid crew, where they all should confess their faults to the said Lord Roos,* 1.1699 and crave pardon, and further offer to the said Lord Roos five hundred marks in recompence.

[unspec 14] And that the said Lord Roos should refuse the same five hundred marks, pardon them,* 1.1700 and take only the dinner aforesaid.

[unspec 15] Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury by a long Instrument in Latine sheweth,* 1.1701 that how in the time of R. 2. the University of Oxford had purchased a Bull to be cleerly exempt from the Visitation of the said Archbishop,* 1.1702 to the end they might the better support Hereticks, and Lollards, and how that the said King Richard took order that they should be subject to the said Archbishops Visitation notwithstanding the said Bull.

[unspec 16] * 1.1703He further sheweth, how in this Kings time he was disturbed of the Visitation aforesaid by Richard Courtney the Chancellor, by Bennet Bret and Iohn Birch then Procurators of the said University; and how that by their submission to the Kings order, it was by him in the Chancery decreed, that the said whole University, and all Orders, Persons, and Faculties in the same should be fu••ly subject to the Visi∣tation of the said Archbishop and his Successors, and to his and their Officers: And that as often as the said Archbishop or his Successors, or his or their Officers were thereof by the said Chancellor interrupted, their said Liberties should be seised into the Kings hands, until the said Archbishop were thereto restored: And further, that for every time of such interruption, the said Chancellor or other Officer should be bound to pay to the King One thousand pounds.

[unspec 17] [unspec 18] * 1.1704All which Articles and Orders, at the request of the said Arch∣bishop, were confirmed by whole assent of Parliament. By this it most manifestly appeareth, that even in these days the Princes pre∣rogatives were nothing subject to the Popes primacie; for then would not this Archbishop, the Popes fosterer and adopted son, have so neg∣lected the Popes Bulls, which he (as by this may appear) took to be meer bulls and bubbles.

* 1.1705The erection of the Colledge of our blessed Lady S. Mary, and of All Saints in Fotheringhay in the County of York, with all the lands and liberties wherewith the same was endowed by the Kings Letters-Patents there at large, is confirmed by whole assent of Parlia∣ment.

[unspec 29] * 1.1706Iohn de Lumley knight is restored to his blood, and to be son and heir to Thomas de Lumley, and brother and heir to Thomas de Lumley to the said Ralph, and brother of the said Iohn, notwithstanding any Judgment of Treason against them had. And so is restored to all the hereditaments of the said Ralph and Thomas, or any others to their uses the day of their deaths had; into all which lands he might enter, with∣out any other pursuit.

[unspec 20] * 1.1707In the like form William de Lasinby is restored to his blood, and to all his hereditaments, notwithstanding any Judgment of Treason against him had.

[unspec 21] * 1.1708In the like sort Ralph Green Esquire, son and heir of Henry Green and of Maud his wife, is restored in blood unto all the hereditaments of the said Henry and Maud; the which Henry was put to death at Bristoll, in the 23. year of R. 2.

[unspec 22] * 1.1709Certain of Guienne remaining in the Realm, and thereby reproached of the English as Aliens, pray that by open Proclamation throughout the Realm they to all intents be enabled Subjects as English men be, and that all such injuries may cease. The which the King by the assent of the Bishops and Lords doth grant. See 25 E. 3. Stat. 2. de Natis ultra mare.

At the request of the Abbot of Fourneys it was fully enacted, That he might make Attornies in any plea for any matter in Craven within

Stamlis-Wapentake, and Frendies-Wapentake in the County of York.

[unspec 24] At the request of Iohn Calvile it is enacted, that the Advowson of the Parsonage of Newton should be appropriated to the Guardian and Captains of the Chantry of our Lady of Newton,* 1.1710 without any Vicar to be endowed thereupon.

[unspec 25] On Saturday the 20. day of December, being the last day of the Parliament, the Speaker required of the King in the name of the Commons then present there,* 1.1711 to know his meaning touching an Ar∣ticle made in the last Parliament. Who answered, That the same was to be as free in his Prerogative, as his Progenitors were. Whereunto the Commons assented, and so the King in Parliament revoked the Article aforesaid.

[unspec 26] The same day the Lords and Commons by their Petition seem to lament,* 1.1712 for that the report went, that the King was offended with some of the House for matters done in this, and the last Parliament; whereby they require the King to embrace them as his Loyal Subjects. Whereto the King of his meer grace granteth.

[unspec 27] On the same day the Speaker recommending to the King the persons of the Queen,* 1.1713 of the Prince, and of other the Kings sons, prayeth the advancements of their estates. For the which the King giveth hearty thanks. After which the Petitions being answered,* 1.1714 the Chancellor by the Kings commandment gave thanks to the whole Estates, and ended the Parliament.

[unspec 28] It is enacted, That the Mint-master within the Tower of London, * 1.1715 and all other Minters by the Kings grant may, during two years, of every pound of Gold of the Tower-weight coin fifty Nobles of Gold,* 1.1716 and of the like pound of Silver coin thirty shillings Sterling; so as the same Gold and Silver be of as good Allay as the old Coin was.
