Henry VI’s reign (1455), so named from the badges adopted by the rival claimants for the crown; the followers of the House of Lan- caster being distinguished by a red rose, while those of the Duke of York wore a white one. Dur- ing the temporary “Insanity oi Henry, the Duke of York acted as regent. When the king recovered, York took up arms against him. The nobles of England divided upon the merits of the contending fam- ilies, and twelve sangulnary battles were fought by Englishmen against Englishmen to decide the quarrel. The first of these occurred, 1455 at St. Aiban‘s, and the last, 1485, at Boswortifs Field. As the common people were ‘greatly concerned in

As the strife be- came prolonged many of the nobles were forced to sell their lands to provide funds to carry on the war. and thus wealthy commoners be- came land-owners. No king was powerful enough to assert his feu- dal right to the land, and thus the Feudal System at the end of these wars, no longer existed in England. The Lancastrian duke, Henry Tu- dor, known in history as Henry VII, by marrying the Yorkist Prlncel

PARLIAMENT

the soldiers puffs up in little clouds. The Gem-General enters the Senate Chamber and seats himself on the throne chair, his lady beside him. The Speaker of the Commons. with the members of the lower House, stands outside an elaborate wooden fence, the Bar of the Senate, at the opposite end of the Chambe . Now the Govfi-eneral reads the Speech from the Throne which was written by the Government. This is the cniyspeech that the King or King's representative may make in a British Parliament. The Com- mons listens, pricking up its ears for some intimation of Government policy, and, after the speech has been read again in French, it re-

Once every year, usually on a January afternoon, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod knocks on the osken doors of the Canadian House of Commons in Ottawa. He is a sober figure in black cocked hat and ‘tailcont of antique ‘style, with rapier at side. He carries the long rod which is the symbol, of his office.

The Gentleman Usher has come to inform the Commons that the Governor-General desires the et- tendance‘ of ‘this Honorable House’ In the Chamber of ‘the Honorable Senate’ and he repeats the invita- tion in French. Then after three successive low bows he retires.

Then Gov- ernment supporters move and sec- ond the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne. It is the first full dress debate of the ses- sion, with speeches iimited to forty minutes each.
