then may proceed upon any thing there moved lawfully as lawfull persons for it is not convenient that they who are attainted should be in places of lawfull Judges And then another question was moved What shall be said of the King himself for he also was attainted by his Predecessour Rich. 3. and after communication had amongst themselves all did agree that the King was a person able and discharged of any former attainder ipso facto That he took upon him to raign and to be King by which it manifestly appeareth that by the Laws of England there can be no inter regnum within the same that presently by descent the next heir in blood is cōpleatly and absolutely King without any essentiall Ceremony or act to be done ex post facto And that Coronation is but a royall ornament and outward solemnization of the descent and of this last matter Read Cooks 7 part fol. 10.6 and that there followeth Of Dukes THe form of the Patent of Duke of York that now is Rex c. To all Archbishops Bishops Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts Barons Justices Governours Knights Ministers And to all Bailiffs and faithfull Subjects greeting Whereas We often times call to minde how many and innumerable gifts and what excellent benefits that great worker of all goodnesse of his only benignity and clemencie hath abundantly bestowed upon Us who by his power hath consociated divers and mighty Lyons in firm peace without any strife but also hath amplified and exalted the bounds and limits of our Government by his unspeakable providence above our progenitors with an indissolvible conjunction of the ancient and famous Kingdoms in the right of blood under our Imperiall Diadem in regard whereof we cannot but most willingly acknowledge our fruitfulnesse and issue plentifully adorned with the gift of Nature which he hath vouchsafed upon us because in truth in the succession of children a mortall man is made as it were immortall Neither unto any mortall men at leastwise unto Princes not acknowledging superiours can any thing happen in worldly cases more pleasant and acceptable then that their children should become notable in all vertues gooodnesse manners and increase of dignity so as they which excell others in noblenesse of bloud and indowments of Nature might not be thought of others to be exceeded Hence it is that that great goodnesse of God which is shewed unto us in our fertility to passe in silence or to be thought not to satisfie the Law of Nature whereby we are chiefly provoked to be well affected and liberall to those in whom we behold our blood to begin to florish coveting with great and fatherly affection that the perpetuall memory of our blood with honours and increase of dignity and all praise may be affected Our well-beloved Son

others the most materiall and of moment used in this behalf it shall be convenient for the more easie unfolding the state of this question to exhibite certain necessary and requisite propositions and upon them to draw true and infallible conclusions and then to prove them by authority of Law consent and time and manifold presidents which done the answere will be easily made as I conceive to every of the foresaid objections First therefore if a Baron by tenure which holdeth any Castle Honour or Mannour per Baroniam do alien or give the same either he doth it without any licence obtained from his Majesty so to do or else by some certain licence in that behalf obtained If he doe it without licence then the conclusion is certain by the lawes of this Realme the Barony Castle Honour and Mannour so aliened without licence or consent is forfeited and the same Honour Castle or Mannour so holden by Barony and so aliened is to be seised into the Kings hands for the said forfeiture and such dignity and estate no longer to be borne and continue but to be resumed and extinguished in the Crowne from whence it was derived Read hereof in Stamfords Prerogative cap. 7. But nota in Cook 2. part 80. b. The reason thereof is notable if we call to remembrance that which was formerly alledged out of Bracton That Baronies are the strength of the Realme and suffer no division they suffer also no alienation without the consent or licence of the soveraign Monarch for so should the Realme be enfeebled and base persons enabled without desert of vertue or prowesse For where the thing so aliened is an Honour or head of the Barony it differs much from the ordinary tenure in capite whereof if the Tenaut make alienation without licence hee is onely to pay fine by the statute 1. E. 3. cap. 12. whereof also before the making of the statute there was diversity of opinion at the Common Law after the statute of Magna Charta But let me cite some authorities for the proofe of these allegations Glanvile the most ancient Writer of the Lawes of this Realme now extant hath these words Notandum autem quòd nec Episcopus nec Abbas quia corum Baroniae sunt de eleemosyna Rege Antecessoris ejus non possunt de Dominicis suis aliquan partem dare ad remanentiam sine assensu confirmatione Domini Regis lib. 7. cap. 1. in fine statut Westm cap. 42. In Edward the thirds time certaine land being parcell o● the Barony of Brember was aliened by William de Bruse the Baron thereof without licence of the King and in the argument of a cause concerning the same Greene one of the Judges delivereth this for law That parcell of a Barony or Earldome held of the King in chiefe cannot be aliened or dismembred without his licence and if it be it shall bee seised into the Kings hands as forfeit and the King shall be seised thereof in his own right again In 46. E. 3. it was found by office that William Bishop of Chester had leased unto one John Peston for his life a Mannour which was parcell of the Mannour of the said Bishopricke without licence and it was resolved by the Judges and other of the Kings Councell that the same was forfeit but by mediation of the said Councell the Bishop submitted himselfe to the King and made a fine and severall Scire facias issued out against them that had received the maine profits to answer unto the King thereof And thus much concerning alienation of Baronies without licence But on the other part if a Baron by tenure which holdeth any Honour Castle or Mannour by Barony do grant or alien the same by licence I must again distinguish For either such alienation is made for the continuance of his Barony Honours Lands and Tenements in his owne name blood issue male Or else the same alienation is made for mony or other recompence or otherwise to a meere stranger and hereof ensueth this second conclusion or assertion That if such alienation be made for the continuance of the Barony in his name and blood or issue male as many have made the like then have the issue male together with the Barony be it Castle Honour or Mannour so holden held also and lawfully enjoyed the name stile title and dignity of a Baron and thereof have the heires generall or next heires female been excluded and debarred And for the proof of this assertion there may manifold presidents be produced wherof certain have happened almost in every age for 300. yeers space namely so long in effect as there have bin observations thereof of which some certain doe ensue William de Ferrariis Comes Derby obiit Anno 30.

By vertue of which gift the said William Ferrars and his heires were ever after Barons of Grooby Robert Walleron Baron of Kilpeck died in 1.

female shall enioy the dignitie in the right of his wife or no wherein wee are to rest upon a resolution had and given in this speciall question which was in this manner In the time of Hen. 8. when Mr. Winbie tooke upon him the stile of Lord Talboys in the right of his wife having none issue by her the said King assisted both by Civill and Temporall Lawyers gave sentence that no husband of Baronesse in her right should use the stile and dignitie untill he had by her a Child whereby he should become Tenant by the courtesie unto her inheritance The speciall reasons that occasioned this sentence were two First it should be inconvenient for her husband this day to bee a Baron and Peere of the Realme and to morrow by the death of his wife so become none and that without the death of the partie Secondly if he had issue by his wife and were in●●taled to be Tenant by the curtesie of England of the wives land if he shall not also beare the stile and dignity of her Barony then should his sonne after the death of his mother dying in the life time of his father be Baron and Lord without land for so the Father should have the land as Tenant by the curtesie and the sonne the Lordship without Land And thus much said concerning the nature quality and estate of a Baron by writ and for resolution of the severall points and Articles of the question proposed may suffice Barons by Batent which is the third kind of Barons mentioned in the former division of Barons THere is also a fourth meanes of creation by act of Parliament but the first a mentiond and this by Patent are most for the honour of the King for thereby the donation doth proceed from his highnes onely as from the fountaine of all honour and dignity but when the creation is by Parliament every one may bee said donator Cookes 8. part 19. A Baron by creation by reason of Letters Parents is that Noble person whom the Kings Ma●esty or any of his progenitors Kings of the Realm have created Barons by such their Letters Patents But this manner of creating Barons by Patent began in the Raign of R. 2. who created first Iohn Beauchamp of Holt Baron of Kidderminster by his Letters Patents 8. October anno 11. But Mils saith in 30. H. 6. this was brought in This kind of dignity of Baron shall bee of such countenance in discent or otherwise as shall bee limited in the Habendi in such Letters Patents contained for it may be but for the life of him to whom it is gi●en or for te●●e de anter vie of some other mans life as some hold opinion in 9.

Ed. 6. in obeysance suspence or consideration of Law and he thereby utterly disabled to have the same during his life onely so as other acceptance could not extinguish that dignity which he then had not nor could not conclude his heire who was not disabled by the said act of 3. Ed. 6. to claime the ancient Barony which opinion of theirs was seene and allowed by the resolution of the chiefe Iustice of England and Lord chiefe Baron and so signified unto the Lord Keeper but this is to be noted by the reasons made for the said resolution that if the said William VVest had beene Baron and intituled or in possession of the ancient dignity when hee accepted the said creation the Law perchance might have been otherwise but that remaineth as yet unresolved neverthelesse the rule codem mado quo quid constuitur dissolvitur but by grant which is made a matter in fact a man cannot transferre his ritle of honour Cooke 7. par● And thus much concerning the three degrees of Barons within this Realme may suffice to be said in generall upon this occasion for the better understanding and direction of that which followeth to be handled And in this place I thinke it not impertinent to mention one case which I read in the bookes of the common Law concerning the discent of a title of honour whereof the
