AN EXACT ALPHABETICALL AND Chronologicall Table OF All the Barons Dukes Earls Lords Marquesses Princes of Wales Viscounts and other Nobles summoned by Writ to the English Parliaments here abridged and of the Queens of England with other Foreign Dukes Earls Nobles mentioned in this Abridgement and the chief matters relating to their creations and persons very useful for all our Nobility and such who delight in Heraldry If any Reader of this Abridgement or Table desire to know why all the Noblemen and Peers of England were nâ—â— always equally mentioned in the Writs of Summons to our Parliaments but sometimes divers of them omitted The reasons thereof will appear to be these 1. The new creations of maâ— of them from time to time 2. Their absence in Foreign wars and services beyond the Seas 3. Their Atâ—aâ—nders of Treason by reason of Insurrections and our Civil Warsâ— 4. Their non-age or death without issue-male In which three last â—ases no Writs of Summons were directed to thâ—m till their return into England their Attainders repealed they and their heirs restorâ—d or their heirs become of full age otherwise they were all of course and right constantly summoned Some of their Christian names being mistaken in the written and so in the printed Copy I have rectified in this Table A.

Abridgement be very exactly done by so learned and eminent an Antiquary whose Name it bears yet through the carelesness of the Clerks who transcribed it I find here and there some mistakes in the Number roll and some omissions of material Words Clauses yea of the whole Parliament Rolls of Ed. 2.46 E. 3. with some two or three Rolls more yet extant not abridged in any Copy I have seen which the publishing or perusal of the Parliament rolls at large will easily supply I being unwilling to adde any Appendix of mine own to this deceased Authors surviving industry Besides in one particular of moment I find both a mistranslation of the French and a mistaken Inference grounded on it by the Compiler of this Abridgement of which I thought necessary to give the Reader special Notice to rectifie his mistake which hath seduced many especially being since seconded therein by Sir Edw. Cook In the Abridgement of the Parliament Roll of 6 E. 3. n. 5 6. whereas it is translated The Bishops and Proctors of the Clergy went by themselves to consult therein And THE LORDS AND COMMONS BY THEMSELVES The LORDS AND COMMONS RETURN c. The word there translated Commons is in the Roll and French GRANTZ with a dash or GRANDEES in both placesâ— and should be thus rendred in English The Lords Barons and other GREAT MEN not Commons by themselves And the said Earls Barons et autres Grantz AND OTHER GREAT MEN not Commons by the mouth of Sir Henry Beaumont c. The Knights of Shires and Commons being twice together distinguished from the Earls Barons and Great men in this very Number-Roll which I shall transcribe to clear this mistake and the inference grounded thereonâ— Et les ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz per eux mesmes Les quex Countz Barons et auters Grantz puis revindrent et respondient touz au Roy par la bouch de Beaumond c. Les quels choses issint ordainiez per le ditz Countz Barons et auters Grantz luez devant nostre Seiur le Roy et les Prelates Chivalers des Countees et les Gentz de Comune here put in contradistinction to the Earls Lords and Great men and not present with them at their private debates but severed from them as well as the Bishops and Clergy and present only when they made their report to the King Prelates Knights Commons and whole Parliament assembled together upon this occasion in one place fueront plaisantz a eux touz et per nostre Seiur le Roy Prelates Countz Barons et auters Grantz et auxint per les Chivalers des Countees et GENTZ DES COMUNE here again distinguished from the Lords and Great men fueront pleinment assentuz accordez c. Now mark the inference thence made by the Abridger n. 10. By the 5. and 6. Titles before may appear THAT AT THIS TIME THE LORDS AND COMMONS WERE OF ONE HOUSE and that then there was no Speaker for the Commons That the Commons had then no Speaker I conceive is an undoubted truth since we find not any Speaker they had mentioned in the Rolls before the Parliaments of 51 E. 3. n. 89. and 1 R. 2. n. 16 17. But that the Lords and Commons were then of one House and sate and consulted together is a clear mistake directly contrary to this very record whereon it is grounded which expresly resolves That the Earls Barons and Great mâ—n went by themselves to consult as well as the Bishops and Clergy and that the Knights and Commons went not with them to consult but were called together to hear their report made by Sir Henry Beaumont to which they all gave their assents Sir Edward Cook in his 4. Institutes c. 1. p. 4â— hath propagated this mistake and thus backed it with some additions of his own CERTAIN IT IS THAT AT THE FIRST BOTH HOUSES of Lords and Commons SATE TOGETHER as it appeareth by Modus tenendi Parliamentum vide Rot. Parliamenti 5 E. 3. n. 3. and in other places of the same Roll and in 6 E. 3. in divers places it appeareth THAT THE LORDS AND COMMONS SATE TOGETHER But under the favour of this Reverend Judge as this Modus tenendi Parâ—iamentum he so much magnifies and insists on is a meer Spurious Forgery and Imposture full of gross errors absurdities not antienter than King Rich the 2. reign some part of it being taken out of 11 R. 2 and no such antient Record in the Confessors Conquerors or Henry the 2. reigns nor of such venerable Authority or Antiquity as Sir Edw. by many confident averrments without any colour of truth affirms it to be in his 4 Institutes p. 12.349 and elswhere as Mr. Selden manifests in his Titles of Honour part 2. p. 613 685 691 738. to 745 and I have further evidenced in My Levellers Levelled and third Part of A Seasonable Legal and Historical Vindication c. of the good old Fundamental Liberties Rights Laws of England p. 314. and the very Treatise it self will evidence to any person who is but meanly versed in Antiquities or Parliamentary Records So the Roll of 5 E. 3. n. 3. proves no such thing That both Houses then sate together but the contrary that the Lords and Commons sate and consulted apart by themselves and that certain Lords as a special Committee only not Lords House then treated consulted with them but no otherwise And the Roll of 6 E. 3. proves expresly that the Commons sate not together as one House with the Lords but apart from them To put this out of all further controversie Parl. 2.6 E 3. n. 3. is express That the Bishops by themselves THE LORDS BY THEMSELVES AND THE COMMONS BY THEMSELVES consulted and advised the King touching the War with Scotland The like you may read in 13 E. 3. n. 4 to 10.13 E. 3. Parl. 2. n. 5 6 7 8.14 E. 3. n. 6.7.17 E. 3. n. 9 10 11.18 E. 3. n. 10 11.20 E. 3. n. 10 11.21 E. 3. n. 4 5.25 E. 3. n. 6 7.36 E. 3. n. 6 7.40 E. 3. n. 8.42 E. 3. n. 7 4â— E. 3. n. 5 6.50 E. 3. n. 3 8 11 12. c. 51 E. 3. n. 18. and sundry other records throughout the reign of King Edward the 3d and in other Parliaments since Wherfore I wonder much at this gross confident mistake in Sir Edward Cook against so many express Records and that in his very Treatise touching Parliaments which is full of other mistakes To instance in other particulars for the Readers information Sir Edward Cooke in his 4 Institutes c. 1. p. 23. hath 5 or 6 gross mistakes together touching the Iudicature in Parliament which I have at large demonstrated refuted in my Plea for the Lords long since Particularly he there asserts Rot. Parl. 1 H. 4.79 is no Act of Parliament but an Ordinance when as you may see by this Abridgement of of it that it is neither an Act

Sir Henry of Flanders and Sir Frank of Vanhall and many other Germans How the King on all All-Souls day last before marched toward his Enemy and proffered to him Battel which his Enemy by all means refused whereby the King wasting and spoiling the Country and seeing his own Army for want to languish returned to Callice where he made honorable peace and now returned into the Realm to Parliament After which discourse Sir William Shareshall willed the Commons to weigh the great travel of the King for their defence and of his readiness to encounter with the Scots who had taken the Town of Berwick as news then came to the King and to advise how he might atchieve victory of them of his long deferred Peace with the French and to the Kings honor and their ease On Friday after the Lords and Commons after short conference had granted to the King for six years the Subsidy of Wooll so as during the same time no other Aid or Impositions be laid upon the Commons Petitions of the Commons with their Answers That the Great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest in all points shall be kept The Statute that the Staples shall always be kept within the Realm shall be observed He in the Remainder in tall shall be received to defend his right where Tenant for term of life shall go about to lose or sell.

were accused for surrendring the Castle of Drinckham in Flanders to the Kings enemies for money without the assent of the Kings Lieutenant There Spickworth proveth that the same was not in his keeping and thereby was discharged Crossingham answered that he yeilded the same upon necessity without money and submitteth himself to their order this was thought no good cause and therefore he was committed to prison The Chancellor in open Parliament charged the Bishop of Norwich with four chief points viz. First where he promised the King to serve him with a certain number for one whole year he had served but half a year and yet returned with his host spoyled The second he promised to muster and shew his Armie at Callice which also was not done and failed of his number The third for that in the last Parliament it was agreed that the King of Castile or some of the Kings Uncles should have gone as Generall for the honour of the Realm the same was not done and thereupon the voyage was lost for that upon the Bishops promise as good a Generall was promised The fourth for that the King appointed to have chosen some other temporall Lords or a sufficient Generall the which was not done because the Bishop took upon him the same whereby great villanies and other displeasures came The Bishop answered that albeit in this case he ought to have Counsell yet making his Protestation that he might all times avoid his answer he answered in person as followeth To the first his Commission was to go speedily to the rescue of Gaunt the which he did and this done as well the Grantoys as his own Captains thought it best to besiege the town of Ipre about which he losing many of his men by dint of Sword and Diseases he could not any longer do any good and therefore upon advice he removed To the second the speed which he made towards Gaunt caused him to make no muster at Callice To the third he had good Captains though not of the best and the Lord Nevill might have had by his own offer but that the King denyed him License the last Parliament To the fourth he refused no Lieutenant at the Kings hands onely the King writing to the Bishop beyond the Seas touching a Generall he therefore gave great thanks to the King for his great care of him and his and that otherwise he refused none as by his Letters may appear The Chancellor replyed taking advantage of the Bishops answer in the end and said that the Bishops answer seemed to the King and Lords no sufficient excuse for without his Imprisonment for what is contained in these four Articles he ought to make Fine and ransome at the Kings pleasure by seizing of the Temporalities of his Bishoprick when the King should please The Bishop after this was willed to declare such as were waged to serve him one year to the end they might serve the King in other places to accomplish their promise Thereto the Bishop answered that upon the delivery of Sir Robert Hulmer his Clarke and Treasurer he would do so Sir Robert was delivered and two severall dayes at the Bishops intreaty appointed for the case At the last the Bishop began to answer to the four Articles in manner aforesaid with somewhat adjoyned for his Purgation The Chancellor by replication disproveth the Bishop and concludeth although the King might pass on the Bishop as on a temporall Lord by reason that he took upon him to serve him as a Souldier and had the Sword carried before him contrary to his profession yet for that time the King would spare to lay hands on his person for his Imprisonment but for his other defaults and villanies the Lords by assent of the Parliament had adjudged him to make Fine and ransome at the Kings pleasure whereto he should be compelled by the seizure of his temporalities and it was commanded him from thenceforth no longer to have the sword carried before him Sir William Elinsham Sir Thomas Trevit Sir Henry de Ferrers and Sir William de Hurnedon Knights were openly accused in Parliament before the Lords for receiving divers severall summes for giving up of Holds and Fortresses without the assent of the King or his Generall together with one Robert Fitz-Raph the summes particularly layed to their charge amounted in the whole to 20000.

Incumbit nobis ordinare pro Regno and that is to say It is the Kings will to be governed by the Honorable Discreet and Sage of the Realm and by their common consent and not by his own will ne after his own fashion to rule the same And further enforced that this Realm of any under the Sun might best live of it self and for proof alledged this Authority quod inter Regna hoc principatum tenet 4 He further addeth that to every good government three things belong viz.
