Proposals for Peace and Scant City Charters in Long Parliament

The Commons debate raised funds for Oxfordshire and Berkshire forces, reducing the Earle of Thanet’s fine and repurposing revenue. They agreed on sweeping honours tied to the King since Parliament declared levy, while surrendering many AGEs under the Great Seal. City of London charters and liberties were debated for trade protection as measures return to the Lords. Crowland’s siege by Fairfax and Rochdale tightened, and Birch received relief from Bristol as compensation for service. An ordinance offered aid to commanders’ wives, and prisoner exchanges were discussed, including Dentery for Jobnorth, with further refinement expected.
