A postle, viz., 24 February, 12967, which was aS unday that year. The Parliament duly met on that date, and though little is known of its deliberations, theE arls of Norfolk and Hereford then refused to lead the campaign in Gascony, on the ground that the king was not going thither in person ;and it was on this occasion that the supposed punning allusion to Bigot sname occurred. King Edward himself was still atS alisbury on 7M arch, when the Archbishop Winchelsey had audience there to discuss the situation, and on this occasion, it seems, a modus vivendi was arranged.

The great probability that this writ produced a Parliament has an important bearing on the regularity of the writ itself; especially so since those were present who would have been glad to take exception to the legality of the summons if they could have done so; and, duly regarded in all its bearings and its peculiar circumstances, the validity of this writ of 26 January, 25 Edw.
