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,* 1.1 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 2] The next day being Tuesday, for the cause aforesaid, and for that sun∣dry of the Bishops and Lords were then absent,* 1.2 the Parliament by the Kings appointment was continued untill the next day.

[unspec 3] The Wednesday following being the 27. of April, the King with most of the B••shops and Lords came into the Parliament into the Paint∣ed Chamber,* 1.3 into the which the Commons were called,* 1.4 before whom, Sir Richard le Scroop, Chancellor of England,* 1.5 by the Kings appoint∣ment declared the causes of the Parliament, viz••

[unspec 4] First was for the maintenance of the liberty of the Church. * 1.6

[unspec 5] Again, for that in the end of the last Parliament the King had ac∣cording to the order taken, elected sundry Lords and others to be of his continual Council,* 1.7 but for the sudden breaking up of the same Par∣liament, he was not advised of the number; which being chosen and sworn, togeth••r with the Nobles, consulted about the Affairs of the Realm,* 1.8 and the great dangers wherein the same was, and weighing the great charges which the same needed, would not fully determine the same without Parliament,* 1.9 but for that time agreed to prepare an Army of men, and a Navy of Ships, whereunto they lent the King great sums of money, the which Navy and Army he had prepared, and thereby remained to them and to divers good Cities and Towns in debt.

[unspec 6] He therefore willed the Lords by themselves,* 1.10 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 7] He further sheweth, how for the charges of the Wars born, and to be born, the Treasurers of the same were and shou'd be ready to make them privy.* 1.11

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

[unspec 9] Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas,* 1.12 and for the forein Isles.

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

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

* 1.13Sundry Nobles are named to examine the Revenues arising of the Subsidy of Wooll, and to examine all the Revenues of the Realm, viz. the old Maletolt of Woolls. the revenues of Priors Aliens, and all other receits of the King whatsoever. To examine what Fees the Nobles and Officers received in the beginning of E. 3. what Annuities were granted by E. 3. or the black Prince his Son; to survey all the Kings Moveables, and enquire of the same; to view the expences of the Kings Houshold, of Callice and other forelets, and apparrelments of War; the Revenues of Burdeaux, the Subsidy of Cloth, the pos∣sessions of Cardinals Rebells upon debts, upon receits of wages for the Wars,* 1.14 and of Rome-pence or Peter-pence,* 1.15 and the arrerages due for many years.

[unspec 13] So as the King release and ease them of the Subsidy on Staple ware granted in the last Parliament,* 1.16 tit. 29. and the 6^d. of every 20. in Merchandize then granted tit. 30. The Lords and Commons do there grant to the King the Subsidies of Woolls there granted in the said last Parliament, tit. 29. to endure for one year longer, and a certain sum of money of every estate of the Realm from the highest to the lowest.* 1.17

[unspec 15] Only I note every Justice of the two Benches,* 1.18 with the chief Baron, to be 5 l. whereas no Earl was above 4 l.

The Mayor of London paid 4 l. as an Earl. every Alderman 40 s. as a Baron.* 1.19

[unspec 17] Every Advocate 40 s. as an Advocate at Law.* 1.20

[unspec 18] The King being in Parliament the 27 day of May released the de∣mand aforesaid,* 1.21 tit. 23. thenceforth to cease.

William de Montacute Earl of Salisbury sheweth the whole Circum∣stances and process contained in the last Parliament,* 1.22 tit. 31, 32, 33.

[unspec 19] The Scire fac. granted the last Parliament to warn Edmond Earl of March is rehearsed at large.* 1.23

[unspec 20] [unspec 21] Upon the same Scire facias awarded to the Sheriff of Shropshire,* 1.24 Iohn de Ludlow Sheriff of the same returned the said Edmond Earl of March to be warned.

[unspec 22] Whereupon the said Earl of Salisbury by Sir Iohn de Monteacute one of his general Attorneys by Pattent,* 1.25 the same Earl being beyond the Seas in the Kings service, as also the said Edmond Earl of March came into this present Parliament, and hearing the return of the said Writs, and Process of the said Earl of Salisbury by his said Attorney, proffered to assign the errors contained in the said Record.* 1.26

[unspec 23] The Earl of March being there present, alledged that the Writ of Scire fac. is not sufficiently served,* 1.27 for that the Writ willeth the Sheriff to warn Edmond Mortimer Earl of March,* 1.28 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,* 1.29 and prayeth that upon assigning of examination of the Errors,* 1.30 the Judgment may be reversed.

[unspec 25] But for that the Parliament grew towards an end, and weighty affairs were to be done for the King,* 1.31 besides the difficulty of the matter,* 1.32 the King gave day to either of the said parties to the next Parliament with all advantages, and the matter to stand as it now doth.

[unspec 26] King E. 3. of certain purchased Fee-simple lands, infeoffed the Duke of Lancaster and others in fee by Deed,* 1.33 and caused Livery and Se••sin to be delivered thereupon without condition by writing, or word. 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,* 1.34 and receiving of the profits, were forbidden the same.

Petitions of the Commons, with their Answers.

[unspec 27] The print touching the Confirmation of the liberties of the Church, * 1.35 cap. 1. swerveth from the Record; for the Record hath saving the Kings regality, which is not in the print: Besides, the print is more large then the Record in other points; otherwise the print touching the Great Charter, and the Charter of the Forrest, agreeth with the Record.

[unspec 28] That Answer reasonable may be given to all their Petitions now,* 1.36 or hereafter to be moved; and that Statutes be thereupon made before the departure of every Parliament.

[unspec 35] Of all Statutes made therefore, the Council shall appoint the best to be executed, and the Justices to make deliverance as oft as need shall require.* 1.50

[unspec 36] That remedy may be had, forasmuch as by the inter comoveage with Scots,* 1.51 the most of the Woolls of the Shires of York, Du••esm, Westmer∣land, Cumberland, and Northumberland, are transported into Scotland without any Custom.* 1.52

* 1.53The King by his Council will provide.

[unspec 37] * 1.54That the King will appoint certain Vessels for the keeping of Strad∣borough, the men of which Town with••n two years before paid 1000 l. ransom, and for the defence of the North-coasts.

* 1.55This matter is committed to the Earl of Northumberland, the Mayor of London, and to certain Merchants of the North, of them to be considered.

* 1.56In a Schedule annexed to the Roll, is contained the Order of the parties aforesaid for the defence of the North-sea coasts, and confirmed by those Estates of the Parliament.

That provision may be found that the money carried forth of the Realm may be brought in again,* 1.63 and not clipped within the Realm ••e carried forth again.

[unspec 40] The King upon conference with the Minters and Merchants,* 1.64 will provide the best remedie.* 1.65

Upon having of Bullion the King will do so.

[unspec 46] That Declaration may be made of Sylva cedua. * 1.71

As it hath been heretofore used.

[unspec 47] The Print touching the Statute made at Glocester touching Riots,* 1.72 cap. 2. doth not agree with the Record, for the Record doth generally revoke the said Statute made at Glocester (which note:)

They require that the Constable,* 1.73 and Marshal of England do surcease to hold before themselves Pleas of Treason, or Felony, and that the same may only be determined before the Kings Justices according to the great Charter.* 1.74

The Lords dare not disclose the same as well for that the Heirs who claim the same Office are within age,* 1.75 and in the Kings keeping, as for that the Parliament draweth to an end. But as touching the appeal of Treason made in Cornwal, and depending before the said Constable, and Marshal, the King will take the same into his own hands as shall please him for determining the same according to the Laws, saving to every one his rights.

That there be a certain number of Justices learned in the Law,* 1.76 which may in every Shire be appointed and chosen by the Lords and Com∣mons that none be by them associated;* 1.77 their Sessions to be holden four times yearly, and there to have Fees at the Sheriffs hands.

[unspec 50] It is willed to be executed notwithstanding any commandment of the Great, or Privy Seal.

* 1.84It shall be as it hath been used.

[unspec 51] That none of the Commons House be appointed to be Collector,* 1.85 Ces∣sor, or Comptroller of any aids granted now.

The King granteth, so as before their departure they in writing de∣clare, who are most able the••efore.* 1.86

[unspec 52] * 1.87That the King will grant Pardons to all such as will, for the only Fee of the Great Seal, of all points of E••re, of desperate debts of any of his Ancestors, and of all points of the Forrest until the Feast of Pen∣tecost now present.* 1.88

[unspec 53] The King will be advised.

And it is to be noted, that of the printed Statute cap. 3. touching fained gifts,* 1.97 and Feoffments to defeat mens Creditors there is no men∣tion made in this Record.

Anno Secundo Richardi Secundi. The Parliament holden at Gloucester, the Wednesday next after the Feast of S. Luke the Evangelist, in the Second year of King Richard the Second.

[unspec 1] THe same Wednesday, being the 20. day October, and the first day of the Parliament,* 1.98 certain of the Nobles met in a Chamber ap∣pointed in the Abby of S. Peters of Gloucester; where for that divers of the Lords were not come, nor the Sheriffs then returned their Writs, the Parliament was adjourned until the next day by the Kings commandment.

[unspec 2] The same Thursday after, the King with his three Uncles of Spain, * 1.99 Cambridge, and Buckingham, the two Archbishops, and divers other Nobles, assembled in the Great Hall of the Abby of Gloucester, and there appointed: where the L. B. of Davids, by the commandment of the King, declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth, viz.

• First, for the liberties of the Church,* 1.100 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] * 1.101
• 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.* 1.102

[unspec 6] Another great cause was, for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars,* 1.103 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,* 1.104 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,* 1.105 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,* 1.106 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,* 1.107 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] * 1.108Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas, and for the forein Isles.

[unspec 13] * 1.109Tryers 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,* 1.110 declaring his own unworthiness there to speak, shewed them how they were invironed with enemies,* 1.111 and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas; namely, that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds,* 1.112 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] * 1.113After that the Commons came before the King, where Sir Iames Pickering knight,* 1.114 Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons, maketh his Protestation,* 1.115 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,* 1.116 maintenance of the Laws, and observations for the Peace, the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks;* 1.117 and pray God for the execution of the same.

[unspec 18] [unspec 19] * 1.118To 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,* 1.119 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,* 1.120 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,* 1.121 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,* 1.122 charging them with un••ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be; And thereto calleth for wit∣ness William Walworth,* 1.123 and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London,* 1.124 and Treasurers appointed and sworn.

* 1.125Thereupon 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.* 1.126

[unspec 21] * 1.127The 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,* 1.128 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,* 1.129 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;* 1.130 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,* 1.131 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;* 1.132 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,* 1.133 (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, * 1.134 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.* 1.135 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;* 1.136 ••nd pray the King, that where the Clergy hath incroached against the Laws, that the same may be redressed.

* 1.137They 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,* 1.138 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] * 1.139The 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] * 1.140They 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.* 1.141

[unspec 32] The Writ of Scire facias,* 1.142 whereby the Earl of March was willed to appear.

[unspec 33] * 1.143The 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,* 1.144 the son and heir of the said Roger, to be and answer at the next Parliament,* 1.145 which was granted.

[unspec 34] * 1.146The 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] * 1.147The 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.* 1.148

[unspec 36] Sir William of Windsor and Alice his wife, late called D••me Alice Perrers,* 1.149 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,* 1.150 and the Kings favour they could not sue in such wise, but require that by A••torney they might sue therefore.* 1.151
