Good escheators shall be appointed. And they shall touch none of the goods of the dead, of such lands as ought to be in the hand of the King. But if debts be due to the King, the escheators shall have free administration of the goods, until they have carried out the commands of the King. And this shall be done according to the form of the Charter of Liberty. They shall enquire concerning the wrongs that escheators have done in aforetime, and amends shall be made. And they shall make no talliage or other exaction except as provided by the Charter of Liberty.
The Charter of Liberty shall be firmly observed.
Concerning the Exchange of London:
Be it remembered to amend the Exchange of London, and the City of London, and all other cities of the King, which have suffered waste and destruction by talliages and other oppressions.
Concerning the place of reception of the King and Queen:
Be it remembered to amend the place of reception of the King and Queen.
Concerning the Parliaments, how many shall be held in each year, and in what manner:
Let it be remembered that the twenty-four have ordained that three Parliaments shall be held each year, the first a week after Michaelmas, the second on the day after Candlemas, and the third on the first day of June, that is to say, three weeks before Midsummer's Day. To these three Parliaments shall come the elected councillors of the King, even if they be not sent for to review the state of the land and to treat of the common needs of the kingdom and the King. And at other times, when need be, they shall meet on the command of the King.
Let it be remembered that the commonalty shall elect twelve honest men, who shall come to the Parliaments, and at other needful times, when the King and his council shall send for them to treat of the needs of King and kingdom. And the commonalty shall treat as established whatsoever these twelve shall ordain, and this shall be done to avoid expense to the commonalty.
