destroyed by reason that both the armies of the Pope and the Emperour scurmished and fought long within the Cittie and the Capitole which had beene before destroyed was now againe repayred which befell the yeare of our Lord 1082 authors write that Rome neuer was so much endomaged at any thing as at this for the lamentable destruction that was donne by the Normans on the Popes side and

equall authority with the King for Peer in the French tongue signifieth equall But because it might be too prolixe a matter to speak of theyr prerogatiues it shall suffice to number them and each of theyr offices at the sacring or coronation of a new King These ancient Peers are twelue in number whereof sixe are of the Clergy and sixe are Lay men the sixe of the Clergie with theyr offices at the corronation are the Archbishop and Duke of Reins which hath his accustomed charge to oynt and consecrate the King the Bishop and Duke of Laon who office is to bring the holy Ampoule or diuine water

since theyr creation others haue been made which though they haue like authoritie to iudge in the Court of Parliament yet they want offices at the Kings coronation and beare not that maiestie that the other Pees doe for that they are not of so great antiquitie The eyght Parliaments of Fraunce THE chiefe generallest iustice of the realme of France is continually kept in eyght Citties wherein are Pallaces made expresly for that purpose and this generall kind of iustice is deuided into eyght parts according to the eyght Citties and euery of them are called Parliaments which differ very little
