it was declared that E. 1. had issue by his second wife 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 and that their difference in Armes was further off then the Earl Marshalls yet they had place before the said Earl Marshall Item it was also

might be reformed and that they might declare for the Lord of Warwicks possession 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 that forasmuch as in his opinion he had brought sufficient proof he might have Judgemenr 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 And for the better and more

Chancellor of the choice of their Speaker The fourth day of the Parliament the Commons presented unto the King Iohn Green Esquire to be their Speaker whose excuse being refused he with the common protestation was allowed The print touching the revocation of the Parliament holden at Coventree cap. 1. agreeth with the record Walter Clark Burgesse of Chippingham in Wilts being committed to the Fleet for sundry condemnations and outlawed upon some of them as well at the Kings sute as otherwise is discharged and set at liberty out of the Fleet. The sixteenth day of October the Councell of the Duke of York exhibited to the Lords in full Parliament a writing touching the right and claim of Richard Duke of York to the Crown of England and Lordship of Ireland the which Lords upon consultation willed it to be read amongst them but not to be answered without the King The title deriveth the pedegree from H. 3. to Edw. 3. and proving himself of the right line from Lyonell Duke of Clarence the third son of E. 3. and next sheweth himself to be indubitate heir of the said Crown before any of the line of Iohn of Gaunt the fourth son of E. 3. The Lords upon large consultation declared this title to the King who willed them to call the Justices Sergeants and Attorney to answer the same They so being called utterly refused to answer the same and order taken that every Lord might therein franckly utter his conceipt without any impeachment unto them In the end there was objected against the Dukes title as followeth First the Oathes of the Lords made to the King and namely of the Duke Secondly the Acts of Parliament sunderly made against the title of the Duke Thirdly sundry Acts of Intayl made of the Crown of England Fourthly that the Duke pretending title from Lyonel Duke of Clarence should rather bear his Arms than of Edmond of Langley Duke of York Item that at what time as H. 4. took upon him the Crown of England he took the same as right heir to * H. 3. and not as Conqueror The answer of Richard Plantaginet commonly called the Duke of York to the objections aforesaid First that no Oath being the Law of man ought to be performed when the same tendeth to suppression of truth and right which is against the Law of God To the second and third he knoweth no other Acts than one Act in Anno 1 H. 4. touching a general tayl made by him a wrong-doer for if he had any right to the same he neither needed nor would have made any such intail To the fourth he justly might have bore the Arms of the Duke of Clarence and of England only he forbore the same for a time as he did his claim to the Crown The fifth being a manifest and approved untruth was only a Cloak to shaddow the violent usurpation of Henry of Derby After this the Lords devised this order that the King should enjoy the Crown of England during his life and the Duke and his heirs to succeed after him and appointed that the Chancellor should declare this to the King Whereupon the Yorksâ—pedegree â—pedegree and title was again repeated and the King assented that an accord between them should be made the which was devised in form following First that the King should during his life enjoy the Crown and preheminence of the Realm of England That the said Duke the Earl of March and Edward Earl of Rutland his Sonnes should be sworn by no means to shorten the dayes or impair the preheminence of the said King during his life That the said Duke shall be from thenceforth reputed and instiled to be the very Heir apparent to the Crown aforesaid and shall enjoy the same after the death or resignation of the said King That the same Duke shall have Hereditaments allotted to the clear yearly value of 10000 Marks viz. 5000 Marks for himself 35000 Marks for the Earl of March and 1500 Marks of the Earl of Rutland That the compassing of the death of the said Duke shall be treason That all the Bishops and Lords in full Parliament shall swear to the said Duke and to his Heires in form aforesaid That the said Duke and his two Sons shall swear to defend the Lords for this agreement The King by assent of the Lords agreeth to all the Ordinances aforesaid of his free motion The King by the assent aforesaid utterly repealeth the said Statute of Intayl made Anno 1. H. 4. so alwayes as hereafter there be no better title proved for the defeating of this title and Act. After all this in the 〈◊〉 of Aâ—hallâ—es the said Duke 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 duly observed the same the which the King then promised to doe The which protestation the said Duke and Earls required to be enrolled The King by his Letters Patents assigneth to the said Duke sundry Countries and other Hereditaments in Wales and elsewhere to the yearly value of 10000 Markes as is aforesaid Where sundry provisions are and namely for the Dutchy of Lancaster all which are confirmed by whole assent of Parliament An Act for publishing of the Duke of York to be rightfull Heir to the Crown and power given him to ride through the whole Realm for suppressing of all Rebellions and Insurrections wherein commandement is given to all Sheriffs Officers and Subjects to obey him as the King with certain provisions Whereas such Hereditaments of the Dutchy of Lancaster as the King had put in Feoffment to the use of his will there was appointed one Chief Steward and Chancellor one General Receivor and Attorney General and Auditors with fees accordingly The King by assent of Parliament revoketh all the said Offices and Fees of the same grant so all the said premisses in Feoffment shall be under the rule and government of such Chancellors and other Officers as were and had the same before the said Feoffment made It is enacted that all the revenues of the Dutchy of Lancaster as well of Land and Feoffment as otherwise shall be received by the Receiver General of the said Dutchy for two years and by him payed over to the Treasurer of England and touching weighty affairs of the Realm wherein are contained principal provisions for Foreiners and Officers of the said Dutchie All the Conveyances and Feoffments in use of all the Hereditaments contained in 38 H. 6. tit 28. are rehearsed enacted that all and singular the premisses shall go only to the performance of the Kings will and not

edition of banes in a private Chamber a prophane place and not openly in the face of the Church after the Law of Gods Church but contrary thereunto and the laudable custom of the Church of England and how also at the time of the contract of the same pretended Mariage and before and long time after the said King Edward was and stood maried and troth-plight to one Dame Elinor Butler daughter to the Earl of Shrewsbury with whom the said King Edward had made a Pre-contract of Matrimony long time before he made the said pretended Mariage with the said Elizabeth Gray in manner and form aforesaid Which premisses being true as in very truth they be true it appeareth and followeth evidently that the said King Edward during his life and the said Elizabeth lived together sinfully and damnably in adultery against the Law of God and of his Church and therefore no marvel that the Soveraign Lord and head of the land being of such ungodly disposition and provoking the ire and indignation of our Lord God such heynous mischief and Inconveniences as are above remembred were used and committed in the Realm amongst the Subjects Also it appeareth evidently and followeth that all the issue and children of the said King Edward be Bastards and unable to inherit or claim any thing by inheritance by the Law and custom of England Moreover we consider how that afterwards by the three Estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament holden at Westminster Anno 17. of the reign of the said King Edward the fourth he then being in possession of the Crown and royal Estate by Act made in the same Parliament George Duke of Clarence brother to the King Edward now deceased was convicted and attainted of High Treason as in the said Act is contained more at large because and by reason whereof all the issue of the said George was and is disabled and barred of all right and claim that in any case they might have or challenge by inheritance to the Crown and Dignity royal of this Realm by the antient Laws and Customs of this same Realm Over this we consider that you be the undoubted heir of Richard Duke of York very inheritor of the said Crown and dignity royal and as in right King of England by way of Inheritance And that at this time the premises duely considered there is none other person living but you onely that may claim the said Crowne and Dignity royal by way of Inheritance and how that you be born within this Land by reason whereof as we deem in our minds you be more naturally inclined to the prosperity and common-weal of the same And all the three Estates of the Land have and may have more certain knowledge of your birth and filiation aforesaid We consider also thâ— great Wit Prudence Justice Princely courage and the memorable and laudable acts in divers battels which as we by experience know you heretofore have done for the defence and salvation of this Realmâ— and also the great noblenesse and excellency of your birth and bloud as of him that is descended of the three most royal houses of Christendome that is to say England France and Spain Wherefore these premises duly by us considered we desiring effectually the peace tranquillity and weal publique of this Land and the reduction of the same to the antient honourable estate and prosperity And having in your great prudent Justice Princely courage and excellent vertue singular confidence have chosen in all that in us is and by that our Writing choose you high and mighty Prince our King and Soveraign Lord c. to whom we know of certain it appertaineth of Inheritance so to be chosen And hereupon we humbly desire pray and require your most Noble grace that according to this election of us theâ— Three Estates of your Land as by inheritance you will accept and take upon you the said Crown and royal dignity with all things thereunto annexed and appertaining as to you of right belonging as well by inheritance as by lawfull election and in case you so do we promise to assist and serve your Highnesse as true and faithfull Subjects and Liege-men and to live and dye with you in this matter and in every other just quarrel for certainly we be determined rather to adventure and commit us to the peril of our lives and jeopardy of death than to live in such thraldom and bondage as we have done long time heretofore oppressed and injured by Extortions and new Impositions against the Law of God and Man and the liberties and old policy and Laws of this Land wherein every Englishman is inherited Our Lord God King of all Kings by whose infinite goodnesse and eternal providence all things been principally governed in this world lighten your Soul and grant you grace to do as well in this matter as in all other that which may be according to his will and pleasure and to the common and publique weal of this Land So that after great clouds troubles storms and tempests the Sun of Justice and of Grace may shine upon us to the joy and comfort of all true-hearted English men Albeit that the right title and estate which our Soveraign Lord King Richard the Third hath to and in the Crown and royal dignity of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and without it annexed and appertaining been just and lawfull as grounded upon the Laws of God and Nature and also upon the antient Laws and laudable Customs of this said Realm And also taken and reputed by all such persons as been learned in the abovesaid Lawes and Customs Yet neverthelesse for as much as it is considered that the most part of the people is not sufficiently learned in the abovesaid Laws and Customs whereby the truth and right in this behalf of likelihood may be hid and not clearly known to all the people and thereupon put in doubt and question And over this how that the Court of Parliament is of such authority and the people of this Land of such a nature and disposition as experience teacheth that manifestation and declaration of any truth or right made by the Three estates of this Realm assembled in Parliament and by authority of the same maketh before all other things most faith and certain quieting of mens minds and removeth the occasion of doubts and seditious language Therefore at the request and by the assent of the Three Estates of this Realm that is to say the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and Commons of this Land assembled in this present Parliament and by authority of the same be it pronounced decreed and declared that our said Soveraign Lord the King was and is the very undoubted King of this Realm of England with all things thereunto within the same Realm and

year of King Henry the Sixth AT 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 the Bishop of Winchester Chancellor of England declared that the Kings will was that all Estates should enjoy their liberties and for his Theam he took these words Gloria honor pax omni operanti bonum the which he divided into three parts viz. bonum honestum as which consisted in due obeysance of the Subjectâ— bonum delâ—ctabile as which stood in giving good Counsell and bonum utile which was by free and willing sustentation or relieving the Prince and Commonwealth By the first God was most glorified by the second the Prince best honoured by the third the Subjects saâ—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 Subjects the Prince is honoured by sound Counsell the Subjects governed 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 observed they ought to be obeyed and remembreth Sicut Princeps tenetur regere regaliter sic plebs obedire The second division touching sound Counsell he allegeth Sapient 12. Salus ubi multa consilia and therein shewing how the Elephant had three properties the one for that he wanted a gall the second â—or that he was inflexible and could not bow the third for that he was of a most sound and perfect memory the which properties by application he wished to be in all Counsellers First that wanting a gall they should thereby be free from all malice rancor and envy by being inflexible that they should worship no reward nor in Judgement respect any person of a ripe memory that they by remembring perils past might prevent dangers to come The third for relieving the King 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 and great conquests all which ought to enforce them more willingly to offer than the same should readily be taken Wherefore he willeth the Commons by their assembling to choose their Speaker and the next day to present him Receivers of petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the seas and of the Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoyne c. as above On Wednesday the second of May the Commons presented before the King and Lords Sr. Tho.

It farther sheweth the said Earl to be allyed in bloud to the King from Thomas Earl of Lancaster It also affirmeth the said Earl to be allied in bloud to the King by the line of the Earl of Arundell To all this Sr. Walter Beauchamp Knight being of the Councell learned of the Earl of Warr. answereth 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 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 The Councell for both these Earles were instant for Judgement 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 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 On Friday the fifteenth day of May the Duke of Gloucester by the Kings Letters Patents there read proroged the Parliament from the same day unto the Thursday then ensuing Iohn 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 The Lords of the Parliament by name promised by their faiths to the Bishop of VVinchester that they will not hinder but further such assurance as shall be made to the said Bishop by the King for money to him lent The Commons by the assent of the Bishops and Lords grant to the King the Subsidie of wools for three years and Tonnage and Poundage for one year upon condition that Merchants Aliens should hardly be looked unto Touching the charge of Scotish hostages according to one Article of league it is enacted that the Wardens of the Marches shall not hereafter be impeached for attempting any hostage for the other but that upon their oathes they be discharged And further that they may take two or more hostages for one as of good will and no duty It is enacted that the quarrell and combat betwixt the Duke of Gloucester 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 person of my Lord of Gloucester It is enacted that the Kings Councell shall have power to make assurances to the Bishop of Winchester and other of the
