H. 5. where notwithstanding the noble service done by the Duke of Exeter then being Earl of Dorset in the Dutchy of Guienne who was of the bloud royall and Uncle to the King and bare the royall Armes of England and France yet neverthelesse the said Earl of Warwick had place above the said Marshall and the said Earl of Dorset Item where the Lord Stafford that now is is lineally descended from E. 3. by royall whole bloud and not demi sanguinis by his mother the Countesse of Stafford daughter of Thomas of Woodstock Duke of Gloucester yet the Earl of Warwick hath place above the Lord Stafford Item 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

both forbear to sit in the Parliament house untill the title of both parties were by their Councell declared in writing there were then writings exhibited into the Court declaring each others titles Item it was alleged for the said Earl of Warwick that he ought to enjoy the possession of the place in Parliament till the said Earl Marshall had a Judgement for his right Item it was answered for the Earl Marshall that such possession had against Title of right which began but lately by commandement ought not to be affirmed nor put him to his action or out of possession for lack of Judgement Item it was desired by Walter Beauchamp for the Earl of Warwick that learned men might examine the matter and if they should find the same otherwise over ruled than the law would that the said commandement 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 speedy determination of the said Controversy the said Iohn Earl Marshall caused to be shewed unto the Court of Parliament that R. 2. by his Letters Patents dated the 21. year of his reign created

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

in no wise restrained of any their Liberties or ancient Customs approved The Commons the last day of the Parliament by mouth required the Lords to have good regard that the King might have all such Lands as his Grandfather purchased to the ease of the Commons and also all the goods and Jewels of his said Grandfather considering what had been heretofore done in other Kings days in the like whereunto was made no other Answer but that the Lords wished the same for the Kings part and the soul of his said Grandfather The Parliament continued from day to day from the first day being the 13.

Affairs of the Realm 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
Estate in that behalf as the Lords of the Parliament would award whereupon the King said openly in the Parliament that he thought that the said Duke was nothing faultie and therefore held him excused In the Parliament all the Lords as well Spirituall as Temporal being present claimed their Liberties and Franchises viz. that all weightie matters in the same Parliament which should be after moved touching the Peeres of the Land ought to be determined and judged and discussed by the course of the Parliament and not by the Civill Law nor yet by the Common Laws of the Land used in other more Courts of the Realm the which clayme and liberties the King most willingly allowed and granted thereto in full Parliament In full Parliament also the 5.
