DIEV ET MON DROIT THE MANNER OF HOLDING A PARLIAMENT in the second of Edward the Confessor Sonne of K. Etheldred HERE is described the Manner after which the Parliament of the King of England and of his English People was kept in the times of King Edward the Sonne of Etheldred the King which manner was rehearsed by the discreet sort of the Kingdome before William Duke of Normandy the Conquerour and King of England the Conquerour himselfe commanding this and by himselfe approved and used in his times and in the times of his successours Kings of England Of the Summons of Parliament The Summons of Parliament ought to goe forty dayes before the first day of the Parliament Concerning the Clergie The Parliament ought to be summoned and come the Arch-Bishops Bishops and other chief of the Clergie who come thither by holding of some County or Barony and because of such tenure and not otherwise and none of the lesse degree of the Clergie unlesse their presence or coming thither may be required in some other respect then by their tenures or unlesse they be of the Kings Counsell or their presence may be deemed necessary or accounted profitable for the Parliament and the King is bound to minister unto them their costs and expences in coming and tarrying at the Parliament Neither ought such of the lower degree of the Clergie men to be summoned to the Parliament but the King was wont to gether to send out his Writs to such men requiring them that they should be present at his Parliament Also the King was wont to give Summons to the Arch-bishops Bishops and other exempted persons or to Abbots Priors and other Ecclesiasticall persons that have by such exemptions and priviledges their severall jurisdictions according to their severall Deaneries and Arch-deaneries of England through their Deaneries and Arch-deaneries aforesaid should cause to be chosen two skilfull and fit Proctors or Clerks of the Convocation house out of the same Arch-deanery to come and to be present at to answer to undergoe to alledge and to doe there that which all and every Parson of their Deaneries and Arch-deaneries should if they and all and every of them were personally present there And that such Proctors or Clerks of the Convocation house come with their two Warrants sealed with the seales of their superiours because they are chosen and sent to such a Proctorship The one of which Letters should be delivered to the Clarke of the Parliament to be enrolled and the other remaine in the Proctors and Clerks themselves and so under these two kinds of Summons the whole Clergie ought to be Summoned to the Kings Parliament Concerning the Laity Also all and every Earle and Baron and their Peeres ought to be summoned and come to the Parliament to wit those that have Lands and Revenues to the value of a whole County which maketh foure hundred pounds in the whole or to the value of one whole Barony to wit Thirteene fees and the third part of one Knights fee every fee being reckoned at twenty poundes maketh in the whole foure hundred markes and no lower Lay-men ought to be summoned to come to the Parliament by reason of of their tenure unlesse their presence for other causes be profitable and necessary to the Parliament and then they ought to be dealt withall as is said of them of Ae Lower degree of the Cleargy men who are not bound by reason of their tenure to come to the Parliament Also the King was wont to send his writs to the Warden of the Cinque Ports that hee might cause to be chosen to come and bee present at the Parliament to answere undergoe and do there that which their Burroughs themselves should do if all and every one of them were personally present there and such Barrons should come with their two Warrants sealed with the common seales of their Ports to shew that they were orderly chosen and sent from the Barronies to that end the one whereof shall bee delivered to the Clarke of the Parliament and the other to remaine with the Barrons themselves And when such Barrons of the Ports having obtaind Lycense should depart from the Parliament then they were wont to have a writ under the great seale of the Warden of the Cinque Ports that they might have their reasonable costs and expences meet for such Barrons out of the County of the Port from whence they came towards the Parliament untill the day wherein they returned home to their owne houses there being expresse mention made in the writ of the stay they made at the Parliament and of the day wherein to returne Yea there was wont sometimes mention to be made in the writ how much such Barrons should take of the Counties from whence they came for a day to wit some had more some had lesse according to the ability and honesty of the persons themselves neither were they wont to put downe for two Barrons above twenty shillings by the day and yet therein had they respect to their charges of their stayings labour and expence neither were such uncertaine expences to be put downe and allowed by the Court for all and every one so chosen and sent for their Counties unlesse the persons themselves were honest and behaved themselves well in the Parliament Touching the Knights of the Shire Also the King was wont to send his writs to all the Sheriffes of England that every one might cause to be chosen out of his owne Countie through the Country it selfe two Knights fit honest and skillfull to come to his Parliament after the same manner which is spoken of the Barons of the Ports and for their warrants they should come after the same manner But for the expences out of one County for two Knights there was not wont to bee set downe and allowed aboue one Marke a day and now eight shillings a day to wit for every one of them foure shillings Touching the Citizens After the same manner Commandement was wont to be given to the Major and Sheriffe of London the Major and Bayliffes to the Major and Citizens of Yorke and of other Cities that they for the County of their City should choose two fit honest and skilfull Citizens to come to the Parliament after the same manner which

Edwinus Comes anteatenuerat And the Earledome of Arundell which Harald poessessed he granted with a fee unto Roger of Montgomery The first two of which Honours the Heires male fayling by Women passed unto other Families But the latter Earldome Robert the Son of Roger being attainted of Treason returned unto King Henry the First who gave the same in Dowry unto Queen Adeliza his wife But the succeeding Kings more sparingly bestowed such dignities to be holden of them in Fee granting for the better and more honourable maintenance of their stocke add honour the third part of the pleas of the Countie as they term it which they in their Charters cal Tertium denarium or the third penny so that he that received the third penny of any province was called Earle of the same and so by custome the Women the Heires male fayling And if any Earle or Baron dying without Sons had many Women his heires howsoever order was taken either by way of Covenant or partition concerning the Lands possessions according to the Common Laws of the Kingdome yet the dignitie and Honour a thing of it selfe indivisable was still left to be dispos'd of according to the Kings pleasure who in bestowing there of usually respected the prerogative of birth by which right K. Henry the third after the death of Iohn the Scot dead without issue other Lands and revenews being by agreement given to his three Sisters united the Earldom of Chester with the honour thereof unto the Crown This is manifest in the Earldome of Arundell which after Robert Be lisme Son to the aforesaid Roger Mountgomery driven out by Henry the first K. Henry the second bestowed upon william of Albine Q. Adeliza his Mothers husband and by a new Charter confirmd it in fee together with the Inheritance to him and his Heires with the third pleas of Sussex whereof he created him Earle But Hugh the great Nephew of this william the first being dead without issue all the Earldome was divided among his foure Sisters whose dignitie and honour for all that together with the Castle of Arundel was by Edward the first at length given to Richard Fitz-Alan the Nephews Sonne to Iohn Fitz-Alan and Isabell the second of the aforesaid Sisters I will now passe from Henry the third to Edward the first his Sonne there being for a time great dissention betwixt him and certaine of his Nobility viz. Gilbert of Clare Earle of Hartford and of Glocester Humphrey of Bohun Earle of Hereford and Sussex and Constable of England and Roger Bigod Earle of Norfolke Marshall of the Kingdome and that all those Noblemen at length had lost their Earldoms and Offices they being reconcil'd to the King afterward they againe by new Charters received the same in this manner The first of them to himselfe and Ioane his Wife the same K. Daughter his second wife for term of both their lives to the children to be by both of them begoten his two Daughters by his first wife being excluded This Ioane called Ioane of Acon bare unto h●… thusand Gilbert a Sonne called also Gilbert but she the second time secretly marryed unto one Ridulph of Mont Hermeri without the King her Fathers knowledge and in her own right made the same Radulph Earle so long as she lived but she being dead Gilbert her Sonne by the aforesaid Gilbert succeeded againe into the Earldome Radulph his Father in Law being yet alive In the same mannner he restored to the aforesaid Humphrey of Bohun his Earldome and Constableship unto whom he also gave in Marriage Elizabeth another of his Daughters Widdow to Iohn Earle of Holland and to the third he restored the Earldome of Norfolke and the Office of Marshal with the yearly increase of a thousand marks upon condition if the heires male of his body to be begotten fayling both should return againe to the King At length this Roger dyed without issue in the xxxv yeare of him the said Edward the first viz. in the last yeare of his raigne and K. Edward his Sonne the second of that name both by a new Creation and Charter gave the Earldome and the Marshallship to Thomas of Brotherton and his heire male These things I have thus propounded thereby to shew how according to the diverse dispositions of Princes and change of times it hath by little and little varied in the first bestowing of dignities and honours Of which thing that new Law and to them of ancient time unknown made by King Edward the first seemeth afterward to be of no small moment whereby he favouring certaine private men more carefull of their own sirname then of their posterity it was thought good by him to decree to make Fees to belong to men only That Law which I would in latine call Gentilitium Municipale and which the Lawyers commonly call Mis taliatum and Talliabile or the Law of cutting off for that it cutteth off Successions before generall and restraineth them to the particular heires of Families which seemeth to have given an occasion of change in the giving and bestowing of dignities and honours For ever since that time in the Creating of any new Earle it is begun to be altered by expresse words in all Charters provided that it shal be but for terme of life onely or discend unto the heires males alone the women being quite excluded And for this I need not examples to prove for why the thing it selfe proveth the same But the force and efficacie of this Law of Entaile or of cutting off I have thought good thus in few words to declare And what I have sayd concerning Earles the same may be sayd also of Barons created by Charters but in Barons created by Rescripts or writs of summons yet resting upon most ancient custom not so For in them one onely excepted sent forth to Henry Bromflet wherein it was provided him that same Henry and his heires Male of his Body lawfully begotten onely to be Barons of Vesey women the heires Male fayling were not in ancient time forbidden orimbarred but that they might be accounted and by name stiled Honourable with the preeminence of the dignity and calling of Barons and after they had borne a Child according to the ancient favour of our Lawes and the custome of the Kingdom graced their Husbands also with the same honour and with the same by Inheritance ennobled their Children yea without the possessions of those places from whence the name of such dignities and honours may seeme first to have risen For fees and Locall possessions circumscribed by the Law are translated and carried from one family unto another and usually enrich their Lords and owners the possessors thereof but yet of themselves neither being nor take away nobilitie either dative or native by example to maifest these things were but needlesse of litle consequence for why all the most ancient Baronies the more ancient sort of the Barons at this day are in this point on my
