the realme.]
[Sidenote: The parlem[=e]t at Couentrie made frustrat.]
This agréement put in articles, was ingrossed, sealed, and sworne
vnto by the two parties, and also enacted in the parlement. For ioy
whereof the king, hauing in his companie the duke of Yorke, road to the
cathedrall church of saint Paule in London, and there on the day of
all saints with the crowne on his head went solemnelie in procession,
and was lodged a good space after in the bishops palace, néer to the
said church. And vpon the saturdaie next insuing, Richard duke of
Yorke was by sound of trumpet solemnelie proclamed heire apparant
to the crowne of England, and protectour of the realme. After this,
the parlement kept at Couentrie the last yeare, was declared to be a
diuelish councell, and onelie had for destruction of the nobilitie,
and was indéed no lawfull parlement: bicause they which were returned,
were neuer elected according to the due order of the law, but secretlie
named by them which desired rather the destruction than the aduancement
of the common-wealth. When these agréements were enacted, the king
dissolued his parlement, which was the last parlement that euer he
ended.
