5/15/1413 at Parliament, Following the roll-call and the
opening speech (delivered by Bishop Henry Beaufort of Winchester) in the
Painted Chamber on, the commons were told to meet at 7 o'clock the next morning
to elect their speaker, and to present him to the king an hour later. In fact,
it was not until Thursday 18th that they put forward the name of William
Stourton, a lawyer from Wiltshire (but representing Dorset on this occasion),
attending his 6th parliament.
5/18/1413, William asked
to be excused on account of his 'bodily infirmity', but the king declared
himself satisfied with the commons’ choice and ordered him to assume the task;
whereupon Stourton requested, and was granted, the customary ‘protestation’
that anything which he might say which did not have the agreement of his
colleagues could subsequently be corrected by their advice.
5/22/1413 at parliament, William again came before the king
and the lords and made various requests for 'good governance', pointing out
that similar requests had often been granted by Henry IV, 'but our lord the
king was well aware of how this was subsequently fulfilled and carried out'.
This frank reminder of his father's failings evidently put the new king on his
guard, for he replied by asking Stourton to set down the commons' complaints in
writing, whereupon he would endeavour to remedy them; and Stourton agreed to do
so.
6/3/1413, The Commons informed the king that Stourton ‘now lay so
ill in his bed’ that he could no longer perform his office of Speaker.
