In the parliament summoned at Westminster on Monday after St. Katherine, 4 Edward III., Edmund the eldest son of Edmund, late earl of Kent,
delivered a petition on the morrow of St. Nicholas to this effect: Edmund,
son and heir of Edmund, late earl of Kent, prays the king to cause to come
before him in parliament the record and the process whereby Edmund, late
earl of Kent, was put to death, and he prays that if error be found therein
such right may be done to him in the matter, as shall be to the honour
of God and the salvation of the king's law, having regard amongst other
things that Sir Roger de Mortumer, late earl of La Marche, acknowledged
when dying before the people that the petitioner's father died wrongfully,
wherefor he prayed mercy. [Rotuli Parl. ii. 55.] |
|
And in the same parliament on the same morrow Margaret, countess of
Kent, delivered a petition to this effect: Margaret, countess of Kent, for
herself and her children, prays that the king will cause to come before him
in his present parliament the aforesaid record and process, having regard to
the acknowledgment of Sir Roger de Mortumer [as above], so that if error
be found in the said record and process, such right may be done to her in
the matter as shall be to the honour of God and of the king's blood and the
maintenance of his laws. [Ibid.] |
|
Which petitions being read before the king, the prelates, earls, barons,
and other magnates in the parliament, the king—having regard to the fact
that Roger de Mortumer, late earl of La Marche, and others usurping to themselves royal power, and Sir Simon de Bereford, John Mautravers, the elder,
knight, Beeges (sic) de Baious, knight, John Deveroil, and other wicked men
of their conspiracy (covyne), compassing in deceiving manner the death of the
said earl of Kent by conspiracy between them, gave and caused to be given
to understand to the said earl that the late king, his brother, was alive,
whereas he had been dead for a long time before then, and this they did by
agreement (de gree) to excite the said earl to obtain the deliverance of his
said brother, as if it had been possible, in order that they might thus have
reason to approach to the undoing of the earl of Kent, and when they
perceived that he, being thus deceived and entrapped (enginez) by their
false compassings, gave faith to their sayings and made semblance to them
of wishing to obtain the release and deliverance of his brother, which
deliverance was at that time entirely impossible since his brother was dead
before then, as is above said, and hereupon they secretly made treaty
amongst themselves until they obtained their point to cause the said earl of
Kent to be arrested, and afterwards, charging (surmettant) against him that
he had acknowledged that he wished the said deliverance to be made to the
undoing of the present king, although it was impossible as before said, they
finally carried him to the king and to others of his council in the
parliament last summoned at Wyncestre, whereby by their thus usurping to
themselves royal power, by malicious compassing, the earl was put to death
in the same parliament, and the aforesaid compassing and deception was
known and confessed (gehiz) by the said Roger de Mortumer before his
death, who said, in the hearing of the people, that the earl of Kent was
wrongfully put to death, and the king having also regard to the fact that
the earl of Kent was his uncle and the said Edmund the son is his cousin
german —of his royal power and dignity, by assent of the said parliament
at Westminster, has granted to the said Edmund, son of the said earl of
Kent, all the lands whereof his father was seised on the day when he was
taken or attached for the cause aforesaid in his demesne as of fee, to hold in
the same manner as his father held them and as the son ought to have held
them by descent of inheritance if no judgment had been rendered against
his father and if no execution had been done, saving to the king the custody
thereof until Edmund come of age and his marriage; and the king has also
granted, by the assent of his said parliament, to the aforesaid countess her
dower of the said lands; and the king has also granted to Edmund, by the
like assent, that he shall not lose the title of earl, honour, action, right, or
recovery, or any other profit or advantage to be demanded through his
father and all other things through himself as of the blood of the said earl,
his father, by reason of the aforesaid judgment rendered upon his father, or
his execution, but he wills, by the like assent, that the son shall be henceforth in such conditions as if no judgment had been ever rendered against
his father and as if no execution had ever been made, supposing that the
said earl of Kent at the time of his death and at all times before was good
and loyal, although his innocence was betrayed (mal environne) by trick
and deception of wicked men, as is aforesaid. And it is also assented and
agreed by the king and the magnates of the same parliament that no peer of
the land, councillor, or other man, great or small, of what estate or condition
soever he may be, shall be impeached, molested, or aggrieved for the death
of the said earl or for his judgment or execution, excepting the said earl of
La Marche and Simon, who are dead, John Mautravers, the elder, Sir
Boeges, and John Deveroil, who are alive, who caused the earl of Kent to
be given to understand that the late king was alive, whereas he was dead,
so that it would have been impossible to have made or obtained his deliverance, from whose excitements and evil intentions all the wrong aforesaid
ensued, as is well known and notorious; which John Mautravers, Boeges,
and John Deveroil, the king, by the assent of his parliament, wills shall be
punished according to their deserts. French. [Ibid.] |

At the parliament summoned at Westminster, on Monday after St.
Katherine, 4 Edward III., Richard Darundell, eldest son of Edmund, late
earl of Arundel, delivered a petition on Wednesday before St. Lucy to this
effect: The said Richard shows that whereas Magna Charta wills that no
earl, baron, or other man of the realm shall be judged except by process of
his peers, he prays the king to have regard how Edmund, his father, earl of
Arundel, was taken, imprisoned, and put to death and his lands, goods and
chattels forfeited contrary to the law and custom of the realm, and he therefore prays the king and his council to ordain and make remedy of his high
grace and lordship, and that he may have and enjoy his right and his
inheritance, according to the law of the land and the custom of the realm. |
|
Which petition was read before the king, the prelates, earls, barons, and
other magnates in the parliament, and the magnates were advised that it
would be desirable to render to Richard the inheritance of his father, who
was adjudged to death before the first parliament lately summoned at
Westminster after the coronation, which judgment was affirmed in the same
parliament, and hereupon Richard prayed the grace of the king of the said
inheritance, and the king, wishing to show grace to all who deserve it,
having great hope of good in the said Richard, has of his royal power and
dignity, at the request and by the assent of the said prelates, earls, barons,
and magnates in the same parliament, granted to Richard all the lands
whereof the said earl his father died seised in his demesne as of fee, to hold
in the same manner as his father held them and as Richard ought to have
held them by descent of inheritance if no judgment had been rendered upon
the earl his father and if no execution had been made, saving to the king
the lands given to the earl by the late king. And although the earl of Kent
died seised as of the king's gift of the castle of Arundel and the lands pertaining to it, which belonged to the earl of Arundel, and the king has
granted to Edmund, son of the said earl of Kent, his inheritance, saving to
the king the wardship and to the countess of Kent her dower, the king has
granted to Richard restitution of the said castle and lands, rendering therefore to the king a certain [service] according to what he will ordain and
during his pleasure, and he has also granted that the countess of Kent, in
recompence for her dower of the said castle and land, shall be dowered of
other lands that belonged to the earl of Kent, which ought to remain in the
king's hands by reason of the heir's minority, and that recompence shall be
made to the said heir of the earl of Kent for the castle of Arundel and lands
aforesaid, and of this the king will make surety by his charter, and he has
also granted, by the assent of the parliament, to Richard that he shall not
lose the name of earl, honour, action right, or recovery, or any other profit
or advantage to be demanded through the said earl of Arundel his father
and all other things through himself as of the blood of the said earl, by
reason of the aforesaid judgment rendered upon his father or by reason of
its execution, but he wills, by the assent of the parliament, that Richard
shall be henceforth in all conditions as if no judgment had ever been
rendered upon the earl of Arundel his father and as if no execution had
been made. And it is also agreed and accorded by the king and the
magnates of the parliament that no peer of the land, councillor, or other
person, great or small, of what estate or condition soever he may be, shall
be impeached, molested, or aggrieved for the death of the said earl of
Arundel. French. [Rotuli Parl. ii. 55–6.] |

he had assigned 18 March next at Berwick-on-Tweed to the bearers of the
king's letters of request, where he would have deliberation concerning the
premises, concerning which he would signify the king: as the king has it
greatly at heart that the things thus treated of shall be completed, he

presents at the aforesaid day as ought to content them, so that no matter of
dispute may arise from this cause in future. [Fœdera.] |
