He took then for his Theame these words multitudo sapientum and thereby learnedly declared that by Councell every Realm was governed and resembled every man to the body of a man and applyed the right hand to the Church and the left hand to the Temporaltie and the other Members to the Commonaltie of all which Members and Estates the King being willing to have Councell had therefore called the same Parliament and that for sundry causes 3. First for the utter appeasing of Welch Rebellions for rebelling of the malice of the Duke of Orleance and the Earl of St. Paule who had bent themselves wholly against the King and the Realm and namely by their late arrivall in the Isle of Wight where they took the repulse To consider the imminent perill of the Marches of Callice Guienne and other like Dominions to remember the wars of Ireland and Scotland and not to forget to take an order touching the late Rebellions of Henry Percy and other their Adherents at the Battail of Shrewsbury and so willed the Commons to choose and the next day to present their Speaker 4.

At the request of the Commons the Lords accorded that four speciall persons should be removed out of the Kings House viz. the Kings Confessors the Abbot of Dore Master Richard Durham and Crosby of the Chamber Whereupon Saturday the ninth of February the said Confessor Durham and Crosbie came into the Parliament before the King and Lords where the King excused them saying that he then knew no cause wherefore they should be removed but onely for that they were hated of the people and therefore charged them to depart from his House according to the agreement and the like he would also have pronounced against the Abbot if he had been present 17.

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 declared that E. 1. had another wife named Ellinor daughter to Alphonso King of Spain by whom he had a daughter two yeares elder then her brother E. 2. which daughter was wedded to the Earl of Hereford by whom she had two sons and two daughters the one named Earl of Hereford and the other Earl of Northampton the elder daughter being wedded to Courtney afterwards Earl of Devonshire who by this meanes was lineally descended of the bloud royall and yet the Earl of Warwick had his place in Parliament beâ—ore him It was moved that where commandement was before given that the Earles should 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 and â—is heirs males which said Thomas Duke had issue Thomas and Iohn now Earl Marshall which Thomas died without issue and so the said Iohn claimeth to be Duke of Norfolk as heir uâ—to his brother

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
