about the Kings person for this year The said Sir Richard le Scroop by the Kings commandment answered that albeit there never was account of Subsidies in or out of Parliament yet notwithstanding the King would that the said William and Iohn with others of the Kings Council should shew them the same so as the same should be taken for no example Touching any of the Kings debts the Exchequer used not to forget them Touching the Kings Officers and Councellors the King will chuse them according to his pleasure and thereafter make them prevail He therefore willeth the Lords as knowing the necessity to have due and speedy consideration thereof The Commons require longer day for the exhibiting of theâ—r Petitions which was granted They also require the Enrollment of the Aids and Subsidies granted the last Parliament the which was granted at the Kings pleasure and not at their request The Commons then require that five or six of the Lords might be appointed to come to discourse with them the Lords denyed that saying the same was the guise of two or three Parliaments before but theirs was that the Lords should among themselves chuse a certain number and the Commons the like and that they should confer together which they would do for if the Commons would not dissever themselves neither would they the Lords to which Order the Commons agreed After the Commons had reviewed the Enrollments of the receipts and expences about the Wars they eftsoon returned into the Parliament and commended the same as very honourable only they said that touching the forty six

murthered in the Church of Westminster by the high Altar at high Mass time And so beseecheth that the King may be vertuously brought up in his youth and have good Counsel The Temporal Lords on the contrary wished for the like bringing up of the King in vertue â—nd pray the King that where the Clergy hath incroached against the Laws that the same may be redressed They further say That the Judges and learned of the Law and certain Doctors of the Divine Civil and Common Law being examined and sworne before the King have thereby affirmed that no man ought to enjoy the Sanctuary in cases of Debt Accompt or Trespass but only in cases where the life or member of a man lieth in danger All which those Doctors and Clerks did after in this present Parliament defend and openly prove against the Bishops whereunto the Bishops could not then answer but required longer day which was granted Note in this Record are made certain reasons against Sanctuary for Debts about which priviledge it appeareth this Hurly-burly to have been The Lords and Commons grant to the King the like Subsidy of Wooll and Staple ware as was granted in 50 E. 3. tit 7. but expressed in 43 E. 3. tit 10. for one

and Alice his wife late called Dame Alice Perrers by a new Bill required that they by Edmund Clay and Robert Brown their
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.

Duke of Gloucester that was son to King E. 3. next the Lord of Darbie that was after King H. 4. and then the Earl of Darby the next to him the Earl of Warwick father to the now Earl Defendant and then afterwards the Earl Marshall father to the now Earl Item also King H. 4. kept a great Councell at Westminster where debate was moved between the Earles of Kent and Arundell for their places in Parliament and likewise between the Earl of Warwick and the Earl Marshall brother to the now Earl Marshall where it was determined that the Earl of Kent should have place above the Earl of Arundell and that the now Earl of Warwick above the then Earl Marshall and so they were both set personally in possession In a patent of King R. 2. made to Thomas Duke of Gloucester of Holdernes and Okeham in the Testees the Earl of Warwicks father was set before the Earl Marshalls father Item in a letter sent to the Pope by King R. 2. for the matter of provision the name and seal of the Earl of Warwick was set before the Earl Marshall Item though the Earl of Arundell be not of the bloud royall nor ever bare the Armes of this land yet he hath had place in Parliament alwayes above the Ancestors of the Earl Marshall without interruption Item he requireth the Duke of Gloucester to call to his remembrance the Parliament holden at Leicester 2. 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 Thomas then Earl of Nottingham and Marshall of England Duke of Norfolk giving him also for the better sustentation of the said Title forty marks yearly to hold both the said title and stipend to him

Parliament saving alwayes the right of possession of him and his heirs of his body coming as Earles of Norâ—olk to his place in that high Court above his said Cousin the Earl of Warwick desiring all that all other matters by him and his Councell notified and declared might be entred of record The King upon consideration of the said Letters Patents and such other proofs as the said Earl Marshall

Marshall as son of the aforesaid Thomas Duke and brother and heir of the said Thomas son of Thomas by vertue of the said Letters Patents and by succession should from thenceforth be held and reputed
