bill and Act to bastardize the infants of Edw. 4, and Elizabeth |
| Touts les Justices in l' Eschequer Chambre primo die Termini per le commandement le |
24 |
All the Justices in Exchequer Chamber, on the first day of Hil. 1486 (Mon. 23 Jan. 1486?) by the king's command to discuss (communerent) the reversal of the bill and Act that declared bastards the children of Edw. 4, and Elizabeth his wife (their daughter Elizabeth was about to marry the present king).
The Justices took the king's direction, because the bill and Act were so false and slanderous that the Justices did not want to rehearse the matter, nor the effect of the matter, but solely that Richard, former Duke of Gloucester, and then de facto and not in right king of England had made a false and seditious bill to be put to Ric. 3 (by his Parliament), which the Justices did not rehearse, which Bill afterwards in Ric. 3's Parliament at Westminster was confirmed and authorized.
The report then contained, in English, the opening sentence of Hen. 7's bill.
The consideration of the Justices was that the bill to reverse the Act of Ric. 3's Parliament should rehearse no more of the matter, so that the matter might be and remain in perpetual oblivion for the falsehood and shame of (the matter in Ric. 3's Act).
(The matter in Ric. 3's Act) could not be taken out of the record without an Act of Parliament because of the indemnity and jeopardy of those who have the records (of Parliament) in their keeping (garde).
This was assented, to discharge (the keepers of records) by authority of Parliament.
On the same day this (bill to reverse the Act of Ric. 3) was read in the Parliament Chamber before the Lords and the judges.
The Lords thought well of this, and would grant this.
It was moved by some of the Lords that it would be a good order, that he who made the false bill should reform this, and these Lords said that a bishop made the bill, and the Lords would have the bishop in the Parliament Chamber to have him answer to this.
The king said that he had pardoned the bishop, and so the Lords would do no more to the bishop.
Some bishops were against this.

Roy communerent per le reversel del' bil & Acte, qui bastard les enfants le Roy E. iv. & Eliz. sa feme; Et prindrent s' direccion, pur ceo que le bill, & l' Acte fuit cy faux & slanderous que ils ne voillent reherser le matter, ne l' effect del' matter, mes tantsolement que Richard jadis Duc de Gloucester, & puis en fait & nient in droit Roy d' Angleterre fist un faux & seditious bil, a estre mis a luy que commence sic; 'Pleaseth it your Highness to consider these Articles ensuing, &c. sans plus rehersal, 'which Bill afterwards in his Parliament holden at Westminster, was confirmed and authorised, &c.; 'The King at the special request and prayer of his Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and the Commons of this present Parliament assembled, and by the Authority of the same, that the said Bill, Act, and Record, be anulled and utterly destroyed, and that it be ordained by the same Authority, that the same Act and Record be taken out of the Roll of Parliament and be cancelled and brent (pehaps a form of break, broken), and be put in perpetual oblivion; Also the said Bill, with all the appendancy, &c.';
'And this was the consideration of the Justices, that they rehersed no more of the matter, that the matter might be and remain in perpetual oblivion for the falseness and shamefulness of it; And if any part of the specialty of the matter had bin rehersed in this Act, then had it remained in remembrance alway, whicch was thought by all persons that it should in no wise be, &c.

A Parliament was summoned 15 Sep. 1485 to assemble 7 Nov. 1485, and was prorogued from 10 Dec. 1485 to 23 Jan. 1486 and dissolved c. 4 Mar. 1486. Richard Plantagenet (later Richard III) was Duke of Gloucester on 1 Nov. 1461 and became king on 26 Jun. 1483. Edward IV married Elizabeth Woodville on 1 May 1464, daughter of Richard, Lord Rivers, who died on 8 Jun. 1492. Henry VII married Elizabeth, eldest daughter and eldest child of Edward IV, on 18 Jan. 1486, and she died on 11 Feb. 1503. (Donahue note) |
Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Edw. 4 and his queen Elizabeth Woodville, was about to marry Hen. 7 on 26 Jan. 1486
politics, Ric. 3 had bastardized the children of Edw. 4, including Edw. 5 by a bill and Act in his Parliament, and the first Parliament of Hen. 7 was to reverse this Act
note here the policy
note likewise (ensement) that they (matters in Ric. 3's Act) could not be taken out of the record without an Act of Parliament because of the indemnity and jeopardy of those who have the records (of Parliament) in their custody (garde), who assented to this, for all discharges it was by authority of Parliament (?)
and the same day this was read in the Parliament Chamber before the Lords and the judges
and he Lords thought well of this, and would grant this
but it was moved by some of them (Lords) that it will be a good order, that he who made the false bill will reform this, and (some of the Lords) said that the bishop of B. made the bill, and the Lords would have him in the Parliament Chamber to have him answer to this
and the king said that he had pardoned him (bishop), and so the Lords would do no more to him (bishop)
note the king's constancy
and some bishops were against the same, etc. |
