AN EXACT ABRIDGEMENT OF THE RECORDS IN THE TOWER of LONDON From the reign of King Edward the Second unto King Richard the Third of all the Parliaments holden in each Kings reign and the several Acts in every Parliament Together with the Names and Titles of all the Dukes Marquesses Earls Viscounts and Barons summoned to every of the said Parliaments COLLECTED By Sir ROBERT COTTON Knight and Baronet Revised rectified in sundry mistakes and supplied with a Preface Marginal Notes Several Omissions and Exact Tables both of the Special Matters Great Officers Speakers Nobles and other Persons therein conteined By WILLIAM PRYNNE Esquire a Bencher of Lincolns Inne LONDON Printed for William Leake Stationer at the Crown in Fleetstreet between the two Temple Gates 1657. The Preface to the Reader COURTEOUS READER HAving already published to the World a Chronological Epitome or Summary Collection of all the extant Parliamentary Councils Synods and publike State-Assemblies held within the Realm of Great Britain upon several Occasions from the Britons first arival in it under King Brute as our old Historians generally assert till the Coronation of King William the Norman Anno Dom. 1066. conteining the space of 2390 years or thereabouts after the computation of the Chronicle of Bromton and others And having likewise an intention if God shall vouchsafe me life health liberty opportunity and encouragements to collect and publish an Exact Chronological History of all the Great Councils Synods Parliaments State Assemblies and the several Consultations Debates Acts Edicts Laws Statutes Ordinances Iudgements Petitions Proceedings in them and Writs of Summons to them extant either in Histories or Records all other usefull Records from the crowning of K. William the first Anno 1066. till the end of the reign of K. Charls 1648. A most necessary profitable useful Work never yet undertaken by any to my knowledge tending much to the Honour of our English Nation the Dignity of our Parliaments and Great Councils the advancement of our Laws and Learning the information instruction of the present times and future ages in our Parliamentary and State affairs of greatest concernment the enabling Members of Parliament both to know discharge their Duties and maintain their antient Privileges Jurisdictions better than in former times the preservation of our usefullest Parliamentary Rolls Journals and other Records from Suppression Embezlement Oblivion to rectifie sundry Gross mistakes both in our printed Statutes Law-books and Vulgar Historians The compleating of which vast undertaking requiring more toylsom Study Cost expence and time than yet I can bestow thereon I thereupon apprehended that I could not in the Interim perform a more profitable Service to my Country conducing towards the furtherance of that great Undertaking than at the earnest importunity of the Stationer and some special Friends to contribute my best directions assistance towards the printing and publishing of this Exact Abridgement of the Parliamentary Records in the Tower of London from the reign of King Edward 2. unto King Richard the 3. collected as is generally voiced believed by that most eminent industrious Collector of our best rarest English Antiquities Manuscripts Leger-books Records of all sorts Sir ROBERT COTTON whose famous Name and Memory alone are sufficient to adde more praise and lustre to this Abridgement than any Panegyrical Epistle I am able to prefix thereto This Exact Abridgement being licensed for the Press before the Stationer brought it me to peruse I thereupon diligently read over the Copy belonging formerly to a person of quality curiously bound up gilt and written in a very fair hand wherein I corrected several verbal mistakes of the Clerk in the Transcribing and comparing it with another Transcript of mine own supplyed some blank spaces in it together with the Abridgements of the whole Parliaments of 21 E. 3. 4. 16. Rich. 2. the explanation of the Charter of the Stanneries in the Parliament of 50 E. 3. the Abridgment of the beginning of the 1. Parliament of 5 R. 2. to numb 14. with the end of 15 R. 2. n. 36. c. wholly omitted in the Stationers Copy without any alteration except in the Clerks misprisions in or addition to the Text it self to avoid the Censure of being an over-officious Critick in another deceased honourable persons Posthumus Work After which perusal of the Copy finding neither Notes of direction in the Margin nor Tables in the end of this Abridgement to direct the Reader readily to finde out the principal things or Names of persons therein comprised I thereupon supplyed these defects with such Marginal Notes and Tables thereto annexed as might render it most usefull to the Buyers comprizing the Principal matters therein contained together with the Names of the Nobles and other persons mentioned therein in Alphabetical Tables with the names of the Admirals Chancellors Constables Marshals Iudges Protectors Privy Seals Speakers of Parliament Stewards of the Kings House and other Great Officers mentioned in it in a Chronological Order with the years Sections Pages wherein they are recorded Which additional Supplements will render it much more usefull and beneficial to the Reader upon all occasions than it would have been without them The Subject matter of this Exact Abridgement consisting wholly of Records or Rolls of Parliament and the principal matters of greatest publike and private concernment in Peace or War debated adjudged transacted in this supremest Court of the Realm both for Iudicature Consultation with the Names of all the Nobility summoned to or created in our Parliaments never formerly published in print and generally unknown to most Judges Lawyers Historians Gentlemen Bookmen of all Professions will sufficiently blazon and proclaim its Eminency Utility Excellency Complacency and Desirableness to every intelligent Reader beyond all other late publications and uncertain Reports of private Persons or Cases lately published or any Histories yet set forth without any other Proemial Encomiums yea the manifold discoveries it makes of the Variances of sundry printed Statutes from the Parliament Records both in form and substance and of divers bastard Statutes put in print never extant on Record which Sir Edward Cook hath gleaned out of this Abridgement and inserted into his 4 Institutes p. 50 51 52. though he there assumes the first discovery and honor of it to himself alone will undeniably demonstrate how worthy it is the most serious perusal of the greatest as well as meanest Professors of the Law who commonly take all printed Statutes and Reverend Sir Edward Cooks oft mistaken Records for undoubted Oracles without comparing them with the original Records themselves out of over-much laziness or credulity If any supercilious persons shall disdain or slight it because it is but an Abridgement and so not comparable to the Records themselves at large or object out of Sir Edward Cooks Reports and Institutes who oft forgot this lesson himself inculcates Satius et tutius est petere fontes quam sectari rivulos I answer That though
the Numbers Titles in this Abridgement many times to exceed the Numbers Titles and Membranaes in the Rolls themselves and some times to differ from them in the number 2ly I shall desire him to take Notice for his better information touching Parliamentary records That the Writs of Summons to our Parliaments for the Nobility Clergy Knights Citizens Burgesses with the Writs for Knights and Burgesses wages are not extant in the Parliament or Statute-Rolls but for the most part they are entred in the Dorse of the Clause Rolls sometimes though rarely on the Dorse of the Patent Rolls kept in the Tower of London where all who please may peruse them at their leisure they sometimes differing one from another in form as well as in the names of the persons summoned and sometimes in material Clauses though Sir Edward Cook asserts the contrary as is most evident by the writs of Rot.

Rolls There being no Records at all in the Tower except some few antient Charters or Exemplifications of them antienter than the first year of King Iohn all the rest from William the First his reign till then except some few in the Exchequer not relating to Parliaments being utterly lost The first Parliament Rolls yet remaining are those of 5 8 9 and 19. of King Edward the 2. The Statute Roll of H. 3. Edw. 1. and Edw. 2. conteining some Statutes made in their reigns a Parchment Book of some Pleas in Parliament during the reigns of King Edward the 1. and 2. and a few Bundles of Petitions in the Parliaments of 6 E. 1. 1 2 3 4. E. 3. none of which are here Abridged Only I find in the Clause Patent Charter and Fine Rolls of King John Henry 3 Edward 1 and 2. some writs of Summons and some mâ—morials of Acts Ordinances made and Aydes Subsidies Disms Quindisms Customs granted in Parliaments held during their reigns the Rolls whereof are perished and quite lost either through the Negligence of the Record-keepers or the Injury Iniquity of the times during the Civil wars between the King and Barons in the reigns of King Iohn and Henry the 3. and betwixt the two houses of Lancaster and York for the Title to the Crown wherein it is very probable the prevaâ—â—ing Kings parties by their instruments embezelled suppressed such Parliamentary Records and Proceedings as made most against their Interests Power Prerogatives Titles or through the Default of our Kings Great Officers and Atturneys who sending for the Parliament Rolls out of the Tower upon special occasions never returned them again for reasons best known to themselves By means whereof these Parliament Rolls being no where to bee found their defects must be supplyed only out of such Fragments and Memorials of them as are extant in our other Records and antient Historians especially in Matthew Paris Matthew Westminster William of Malmsbury Henry Archdeacon of Huntingdon Roger de Hoveden Simeon Dunelmensis the Chronicle of Bromton Radulphus de Diceto Ranulphus Cistrensis and Thomas of Walsingham who give us some account of their Proceedings and Transactions which else had been utterly buried in oblivion as well as their Rolls wherâ—n they were at large recorded as is evident by the Parliament Rolls yet extant exactly relating all the Parl. Acts Judgments Proceedings as you may discern by this Abridgement But more clearly by the Rolls at large made up and engrossed by the Clerk of the Parliament with the assistance or supervising of the Lords Iudges and Commons too when there was occasion 4ly I shall recommend unto you these generall Observations touching our Parliaments and their proceedings in former ages which I shall desire the Readers more carefully to observe in their perusal of this Abridgement for their better satisfaction 1. That it was the Common Custom in former ages the first day of every Parliament by special Proclamation to inhibit the wearing of any Arms or weapons under severe penalties within such Cities and places where the Parliament sate to prevent all disturbances quarrels intimidations over-awings of the Members by Fear or Force A practice now fit to be revived after so many late armed Guards Forces not only over-awing disturbing enforcing but dissolving Parliaments and secluding securing their Members at their pleasure 2. That our Parliaments were alwayes usually adjourned and put off till some further day when any considerable Number of the Lords or Commons were absent or not come appearing at the first day of Summons and the Declaration of the Causes of summoning the Parliament adjourned till all the Members were come and the Parliaments full 3.

Luke the Evangelist in the Second year of King Richard the Second THe same Wednesday being the 20. day October and the first day of the Parliament certain of the Nobles met in a Chamber appointed in the Abby of S. Peters of Gloucester where for that divers of the Lords were not come nor the Sheriffs then returned their Writs the Parliament was adjourned until the next day by the Kings commandment The same Thursday after the King with his three Uncles of Spain Cambridge and Buckingham the two Archbishops and divers other Nobles assembled in the Great Hall of the Abby of Gloucester and there appointed where the L. B. of Davids by the commandment of the King declared the cause of the Parliament as followeth viz. First for the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations of the Peace Secondly for that it was enacted that a Parliament should yearly be holden Thirdly for that the King desired to see and to consult with them so honorable an Assembly there gathered in Gods name which he commendeth willing unity and concord among them to be according to the resemblance of the Church Another great cause was for that the King being left in the midst of great Wars could not endure and maintain the same without their Aid He sheweth further that since the great villany and damage done by the Scots at Roxburgh at Truce thereupon taken for a time they the same Scots have allied themselves with the French to the end to depart from the same Truce and by all means to annoy the King and his friends All which to recite and the charges thereof to bear he willeth them deeply to consider One great mischief in the Commonweal he remembreth them viz. That the Law of the Land and the Law of Arms do not concur together by certain similitudes he wisheth them of those two Laws to make a Relative so as they may stand with the other Another mischief he noteth to wit Slanderers and sowers of discord between Nobles Gentlemen and Neighbours the which kind of men he resembleth to Dogs that eat raw flesh so applying them to eat and consume living men For all which enormities he wisheth them to seek redress and to be there the next day by eight of the clock to hear further Declarations and the Commons to keep the Chapter house within the great Cloister of the Abby aforesaid Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Friday after the two and twentieth of October the Lords and Commons assembled in the said great Hall where Sir Richard le Scroop Steward of the Kings Houshold declaring his own unworthiness there to speak shewed them how they were invironed with enemies and the King importably charged for keeping possession beyond the Seas namely that Callis cost him yearly twenty thousand pounds Brest twelve thousand marks besides Ireland Cherburgh Burdeaux and Bayn he sheweth that the old grant of the last Parliament was onely dispended in the Wars as the Officers could declare he wisleth them to consult for the rescue and the mean how to levie the charges After that the Commons came before the King where Sir Iames Pickering knight Speaker of the Parliament for the Commons maketh his Protestation as well for himself as for the whole House And first for the Commons That if he should speak any thing which happily might be ill taken it might be as as nothing so as the Commons at any time might amend the same And so much for himself He therefore rehearseth the whole charge of the Parliament pronoun the Chancellor and to the first points touching the liberties of the Church maintenance of the Laws and observations for the Peace the Commons making low curtesies rendred therefore most humble thanks and pray God for the execution of the same To the aid required for the King he sheweth how in the last Parliament upon the like motion to the Commons repeating the great charges of the King by the Treasurer they then made answer that they saw no such cause of aid whereunto for the King it was then replyed that the Kings Coronation was chargeable and that if the Commons would grant such reasonable aid whereby the King might thereby provide an army that they nothing doubted but that the King of himself might continue the same without charging them of long time upon which promise and hope the Commons did then grant the same large aid and being now unable to do the same require pardon thereof thinking that a great part of the same grant remained yet in the Kings Treasury The said Sir Richard le Scroop not knowing any such promise of discharge made in the last Parliament charging them with unâ—ruth for surmising any rest of the last grant to be And thereto calleth for witness William Walworth and Iohn Philpot Citizens of London and Treasurers appointed and sworn Thereupon the Commons make request to know how and in what manner the same sums were defraied whether some were not therefore indebted and who should be Councellors and great Officers
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 thousand pound defraied about the Marches of Callice Brest and other places of Gascoign and certain ransoms of prisoners should not run in their charge considering those defences were out of the Realm Thereunto was answered that those places were the very Barbicans and Propugnacles of the Realm the which being well defrauded and the Sea kept we should then enjoy peace at home and not otherwise The Commons then thought the goods of King E. 3. able to serve the turn Whereto was answered that the same goods were justly praised and delivered to certain his Creditors except certain implements of houshold wherefore the King stood bound to pay the value to certain of his Credâ—tors The Archbishop of Canterbury came before the King and Lords and required audience giving first most lowly thanks for the confirming of the liberties of the Church He then required that the great villany done in the Abby-Church of Westminster may be revenged viz. for that Robert Hamley Esq. and one other were 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 year over and above Which said subsidies they granted to the King as a new increase of the same subsidies Thirteen shillings four pence of every sack of Wooll Thâ—rteen shillings four pence for every twelve score Wooll-fells Twenty six shillings eight pence of every Last of Skins passing out of the Realm of all manner of persons for one year They also grant to the King six pence of every Twenty shillings merchandise passing or coming into the Realm They require the King to imploy their Grants to the maintenance of Wars and to appoint suffâ—cient and able Treasurers therefore as lately And to take these their Grants in good part for that by Plague War and Murrain they are able to do no more William of Montacute Earl of Salisbury rehearseth the old Petition contained in 1 R. 2. tit 28. 29.

this Bailiwick neither any Lands or Tenements to be warned thereby who was Sheriff of Shropshire Whereupon the said Earl of Salisbury required another Scire fac for to warn Edmund now Earl of March the son and heir of the said Roger to be and answer at the next Parliament which was granted The Lady Nevill of Essex complaineth and sheweth that where Iohn Brewes and others brake her house at London and violently took thereout Margery the daughter of Iohn Nerfourd son to the said Lady and carried her away unto the house of Robert Howard knight All who kept away the said Margery to the end she should not pursue in Court Christian adnullation of contract of matrimony against the said Iohn Brewes For which cause the said Robert was by the Council committed to the Tower and after delivered surety and promised to do his uttermost to bring forth the said Margery by Michaelmas ensuing or else to yield himself prisoner to the Tower again The said Robert at Michaelmas came before certain of the Council and shewed his travel about the expedition asore but that he could not meet with her To whom the said Council gave three moneths of longer respite Notwithstanding upon the said Ladies pursuit for that the said Robert not bringing forth the said Margery did not yield himself prisoner to the Tower the same Robert was therefore committed to the Tower again Sir William of Windsor and Alice his wife late called Dâ—me Alice Perrers pray the revocation of a Judgment made in the last Parliament tit 41 42 43. against the said Alice for Errors therein contained The Record was brought

Andrews therefore appointed where the Archbishop of Canterbury and Chancellor caused the great Charter to be read which done for that sundry of the Lords and Commons were not come by reason of the foul wayes much impâ—ited by a continual and outragious wet season and for that the Sheriffs had not returned their Writs the same Parliament by Commandment of the King who then was come in person to the Mannor of 〈◊〉 was adjourned to Thursday morning next ensuing The same Thursday the King being accompanied with sundry Bishops and not many Lords temporal for that the Duke of Lancaster and many of the Lords were then appointed to be on the Marches of Scotland came into the Chamber aforesaid whereunto were called the Kings Justices Serjeants Advocates and Commons where the Chancellor aforesaid for his introduction made a good collation which is not expressed He then declared that the Kings mind was to maintain the Liberties of the Church and to see the Common peace preserved and that the especial cause of the Parliament was for that the King in setting forth the Duke of Buckingham with a great Army of men into France for enterprizing this voyage into Scotland and for defending 〈◊〉 and other places beyond the Seas had not only defraied all that which they granted to him in the last Parliament but also was therefore enforced for making of Exchanges and Shifts to lay in manner his whole Jewels to gage all which to them was not unknown He willeth them to consider the same and how farther the King was bound by sundry means now to maintain not only the same charge now begun but also to make ready certain Gallies and to keep the Sea which were a matter impossible for any Christian Prince to accomplish of himself without aid about which and with the circumstances thereunto he willeth them to consult and speedily to give answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyne and other places beyond the Seas and for the forein Isles Tryers of petitions for England c. as above Tryers of petitions for Gascoin c. as above The Chancellor then willed the Commons to depart to their lodging and to return next morning unto the new 〈◊〉 within the same Priory there to consult and to forget all manner of rancour and malice After that the Commons had for one day consulted they came into the Parliament into the Kings presence where Sir Iohn Oldersburgh Knight the Speaker desired a more fuller Declaration of the Kings necessity and what sum total he would
require therein requiring due consideration of the Commons poor estate being sundry wayes greatly impoverished Whereupon was delivered unto them by the Kings great Officers and Councel a Schedule containing divers particular charges amounting to the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand pounds The Commons after came before the Lordsâ— requiring a moderation of the same sum and that it would please them to consult how the same might be levied After long debate betwixt the Lords and Commons for the levying of this sum as by sundry particular devices doth there appear the Commons offered to give an aid so as the Clergy who had the third part of the Realm would thereof pay one third part which was fifty thousand marks and the Commons an hundred thousand marks The Clergy answered That they were not to grant any aid by Parliament but of their free wills and therefore willed the Commons to do their duties and they would do their own Hereupon the Lords and Commons granted to the King of every person being man or woman passing the age of 15 years and being no begger twelve pence to be levied of every person of every parish according to their estate so as the rich doth bear with the poor and that the richest for him and his wife be not set above twenty shillings and the most poor for him and his wife no lesse then one groat They also grant to the King the Subsidies of Wools from the Feast of S. Martin then ensuing unto the Feast of the Nativity of our Lady then following in such wise as was granted in the last Parliament Sir Ralph of Ferriers knight who was arrested by the Duke of Lancaster on the Marches of Scotland for suspition of Treason as adhering unto the French the Kings enemies was brought into the Parliament before the Lords to answer thereto Divers Letters under the hand and seal of Arms of the said Sir Ralph and sent to sundry French Lords as to the Lord de la River the Earl of Longvile the Lord de Clisson the Lord Admiral and others were openly shewed and read in Parliament before the said Sir Ralph The contents of the Letters were humble commends and certification how that he in the behalf of the French had taken league and confirmed alliance with the Scots and to c. made the first payment requiring them to make the second payment occurrences touching the preparation of the English against the French request to remember his Fee and to give credit to the bearers of these Letters who were to say much and also touching the delivery of the Infants of Bois The Letters to the French Admiral willed him about Michaelmas to arrive about London where he should have a fair day to lay up Clerks the bearer of the same Letter for that he had discovered his Councel had it not been for the promise of 2000 Franks The bearers of these Letters and Entents were his said Clark one Iohn Fry and another but the most faithful were Frier William and Cannon who were often Liegers in France The Letter of Frier William to the same Sir Ralph sheweth how he sped well with the whole Councel of France that a way was found for Clark that he would bring the ransoms of the Infants of Boys and his annuity or see of the French The same Sir Ralph being brought into the Parliament by the Marshal of England required Councel which was denied him he then being willed to answer to those Letters beginneth a long circumstance of his acquaintance in France of his service there in King Edward the thirds time at which time he kept holds when others did not how he was Captain of Callis In which times he might have done hurt and did not he therefore alledged the same to prove innocency and the unlikelihood of this Whereupon the said Sir Ralph was remanded to prison and divers of his familiers being called into the Parliament house as the Parson of Brington and others together with the Beggar who first found these letters beside London the whole matter was examined and for that it appeared that certain of the Letters sent by the same Sir Ralph to the parties beyond the Seas were sealed together with other Letters senâ— from thence to the same Sir Ralph also sealed all of one hand and for that also that the seal was larger then the seal of the said Sir Ralph it seemed forged by some of his enemies for his overthrow In the end the same Sir Ralph being once or twice urged to answer whether these Letters were his or no answered That he did not remember that they were his own letters and that he was ready to approve as they should think good before which his last answer he offered the combate with any that would where from he was put And therefore as otherwise the Lords thought the same Sir Ralph to be thereof innocent wherefore he was committed to the custodies of the Earls of Warwick Stafford Salisbury Northumberland to Reynold Grey of Ruthen and the Prior of S. who became pledges body for body for the said Sir Ralph to answer when he should be called between that and the next Parliament and so the said Sir Ralph was set at large the said Letters and his Seal being of silver were delivered into the custody of Sir Iohn Cavendish chief Justice of England The Beggers being thought to be privy to this falsehood was committed to prison the Parson of Brington and other the friends of the same Sir Ralph being delivered Petitions of the Commons with their Answers That the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest and other Statutes of the

That this Tallage now granted may be only imployed upon the charge of the Earl of Buckingham and Lords with him in Britain and and for the keeping of the Sea It pleased the King that it be dispended about the defence of the Realm That the County of Chester the Bishoprick of Durham and the Cinque-ports may be comprised within this Tallage The King granteth for the Cinque ports onely That half pence and farthings may be coyned according to the Sterleage The King will do for the ease of the people That no Ship or Vessel be taken for a Deodand where any person thereout falling is drowned Upon

Tryars of Petitions for England c. as above Tryars of Petitions for Gascoyne c. as above After this the Chancellor declared the King charged the Lords by their selves and the Commons by themselves to consult about these weighty matters and for mony to serve his necessity laying in the mean time all other matters apart The Lords and Commons granted unto the King one fifteen to be levyed according to a Schedule enrolled The Schedule conteineth the grant of the fifteen and of the payment and of the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every Tun of Wine on these conditions viz. That the Clergy shall grant the like for their parts and that all estates whatsoever be contributary thereto And that the service of the Bishop of Norwich and of his Captains with the treasure by them received not of them deserved nor well imployed may onely be examined and imployed to the use of the King The Earl of Northumberland promised for himself and the Earl of Devonshire Admirall of the West safely to keep the Seas so far as the charge granted by the Commons therefore would serve viz. of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every Tun of Wine The Bishop of Norwich being accused for not doing his service according to promise and for receiving of severall summes as well on this side the Seas as beyond requireth respit to answer protesting earnestly therein to shew his innocency and being charged particularly of the receipt of 10000. Francks of gold for giving up the Castle of Graveling to the French he fully purgeth himself thereof And in repeating the matter it fell out that 5000. Francks of Gold given for the said Castle were in the hands of Sir Robert Farmers man who charged in Parliament confesseth the having thereof but maketh a fair excuse for the secret taking wherefore he was committed to prison untill he made payment thereof and untill further order for his enlargement were taken At that time Proclamation was made that all such as had received any mony beyond the Seas of the enemy or of any other for any cause other than for due wages should the next day bring the same into the Chancery or else to be taken as Traytors this Proclamation was made the sixteenth of November Bryars Crossingham and Iohn Spickworth Esquires
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. Francks of Gold They all made certain fained excuses and submitted themselves to the Kings mercy The said Chancellor replyed and gave judgementâ— that they all should pay to the King of what they had received and remain in prison untill they had made Fine and ransome with the King and with them Sir William Harnedon was committed to prison his body and goods to be at the Kings pleasure Petitions of the Commons with their Answers THe print touching the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and the Charter of the Forrest Cap. 1. and 2. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in forme That the Justices of both Benches and Barons of the Exchecquer may be sworn before the King Lords and Commons to do without consideration They be already sworn and if need be shall be again It is enacted that Writs shall be sent to the Justices of Peace to charge them that Vagabonds and Saylors do put in suretie for their good behaviour or else to remain in Prison untill the coming of the Justices of Assize which far swerveth from the Print Cap. 5. quod nota The print touching the execution of the Statute of Winchester Cap. 6. agreeth with the Record in effect but not in forme The print touching the false making of Wollen Cloaths Cap. 9. far swerveth from the Record for that in the print is much more matter than in the Record quod nota The print touching Purveyors Cap. 8. agrees with the Record in effect but not in forme The print touching Writs of Premunire Cap. 14. far swerveth from the Record as having sometimes more and sometimes less than in the Record It is enacted that if Commission or Patent be granted to any Sheriff or Escheator for longer space than for one year that the same be void saving the Kings Prerogative It is enacted that all Denizens passing Wools shall be discharged of 20. d.

RICHARDI 2. THe same Munday being the 24. of February certain Bishops and Lords assembled in the place accustomed in the Palace of Westminster and for that it was reported to them that sundry Sheriffs had not returned their Writs the Parliament by the Kings Commandement was adjourned to the next day The same Tuesday following the King with the Bishops Lords and Commons assembled in the Parliament before
whom Master Robert Braybrook Bishop of London and Chancellor of England by the Kings Commandement declared the cause of the Parliament to be for maintenance of the Liberties of the Church and preservation of the Laws and peace of the Realm He then remembring them of that their ayde granted in the last Parliament and of the Kings purpose to go into Flanders for the voyage of the French sheweth that since the last Parliament heavy tydings came how that the French King had subjected to himself the whole Countrie of Flanders except the town of Gaunt and that upon the same tydings the King called a great Councell at Westminster by which it was determined that the King should pass in person to the rescue of the town of Gaunt if safely with his honour he might so do And that now therefore the Parliament was called for them to consult whether it were best for the King to go in person or to send an Army and for mony to maintain the same with the Circumstances thereto belonging the which he willed them fully to digest and to make speedy answer Receivers of Petitions for England Ireland Wales and Scotland Receivers of Petitions for Gascoyn and other places beyond the Seas and of the Isls. Tryers of Petitions for England c. as above Tryers of Petitions for Gascoyn c. as above After the Commons had debated two daies of the same charge they besought the King to assign to them certain Lords there named to consult with them which was granted albeit it were at the election of the King to assign these Lords or others at his pleasure This done after long deliberation of the Commons of the rates aforesaid they came into the Parliament before the Kings presence and the Lords when Sir Iames Pickering Knight then Speaker after the Common Protestation made saith That albeit the same their consultation did properly appertain unto the King and Lords yet since it stood with their pleasures to charge the Commons therewith their conceit was that it had been best for the King in person to have enterprized a voyage which for that it could not for sundry reasons be they thought it best that the Bishop of Norwich having the Popes Crosary for persecuting the Anti-Pope his adherents should take upon him the quarrell against the French whereof was hope of good success he saith further that considering the Scots were so lusty that they would not agree to any reasonable league whereby we are like to have war which to us was accounted most dangerous they thought that the King or his Uncles of Lancaster Cambridge or Buckingham might not in any wise be spared out of the Realm untill with Scotland some certain order were taken the which they spake not by way of Counsell but to shew their advise whereto for the King was said a little difference to be between Counsell and advise The proffer of the Bishop of Norwich to the King and Lords in the beginning of the Parliament was so as the King would gâ—ant to him the whole 15 th and 10 th granted in the last Parliament with the 6 d. of every pound Merchandize and 2 s. of every Tun of Wine lately granted for the safe keeping of the Seas he would in seasonable time of the year furnish and send into France 3000. men at Armes and 3000. Archers of whom 500. men at Armes and 500 Archers should be appointed to keep the Sea and further that if he might have the West-Admirall to attend he would before March ensuing appoint for the defence of the Sea great Ships of War and Barges well appointed Petitions of the Commons with their Answers IT is enacted that the Liberties of the Church the great Charter and Charter of the Forrest be maintained That for the grant of vi d. of every pound of Merchandize and ii s. of every tun of Wine the Seas may be well kept The Chancellor and other Officers there named shall provide as speedie remedie as may be That the King will provide for the defence of the Marches of Scotland and namely for Barwick and Carlile and that some truce or peace may be taken The Duke of Lancaster and other Lords are sent thither of purpose to take order therein That the Statute of Purveyors may be observed and that ready payment may be made The Statute therefore made shall be observed That the most approved wisemen may be chose to be chief Officers for the governance of the Realm that their names might be known to the Parliament and they not removed without good cause The King by advise of his Lords shall appoint such Officers as shall like him whom he meaneth not to remove before the next Parliament The print touching the pardon Cap. 1. far swerveth from the Record That able men may be appointed to be of Counsell about the Kings Person and that an order may be taken for the Kings houshold so as he may live upon his own The King therein will be advised of his Lords and take such orders as may be for his honour At the request of the Commons it is enacted that the Citie of London shall injoy all such liberties as they had in the time of King E. 3. or as were to them confirmed by the King now saving to all Strangers their Liberties confirmed and saving that Victuallers should have no particular Liberties by themselves but to be under the rule of the Major In short time after the Bishop of Norwich had advised himself he came before the King and Lords and offeredâ— so as the King would allow to him the fifteenth last granted by the Commons he would serve the King one whole year in his wars within France with 3000. men at Armes and 2500. Archers well horsed and appointed the which offer was thought to be very good and for the Kings honour but for that the King would not adventure any of his Subjects unless he knew who should be Chieftain or Lievetenant considering the Bishops profession was to the contrary he required to know who they should be the Bishop would not that declare unless the King did assent to his offer saying that if it were his pleasure so to do they then should be as ready and worthy persons as any were within the Realm his own person and others of the bloud excepted The King accepteth his offer whereupon the Bishop gave him four names of them willing him to chose one such for his Lievetenant as he thought good After the view of whom the King would not seem to choose any Nobleman whereby it was assented that if the Bishop
those times far doth swarve from the guise now which is so far from kissing the Prince as in doing the same they do not so much as see the Prince That no Italian or other Merchant beyond the Streight of Moroccoe bring no other Merchandise within the Realm other than are growing in the same their Countries and that for good reasons in the record The King will be advised That all spiceries sold in any Port within the realm by any Merchants strangers be as clear garbelled as the same is in London upon pain to forfeit the same The King will be advised It is enacted that the fourth part of the Desme and fifteenth shall be payed to the Treasurer of the Kings houshould therewith all to make ready pay for the Kings purveyance And by the same Act it appeareth that the Revennues of the Dutchies of Lancaster and Cornwall should be imployed to the present payment of the kings purveyance for the houshold The print touching Captaiâ—s abating of Souldiers wages cap. 18. agreeth with the record The print touching souldiers going away from their Captains cap. 19. agreeth with the record Of the print cap. 3. for transporting of butter and cheese there is no mention made in the record Anno Decimo Octavo Henrici Sexti HUmfrey Duke of Gloucester Richard Duke of York John Duke of Norfolk Hen.
