The King's Speech to the King of England

The 16 o four parliament was the largest representative assembly in europe, with 78 lords and 400 n d 67 commons. This meant that it was far too large to be packed with government placemen. It also had a tradition of debate and of thereby being able to trol its own agende. And finally, the scottish parliament had demonstrated very clearly in 15 60 that it could make wholesale and radical changes,. as it did reformation parliament. But for james, of course, this was particularly important. He was making the point that he was a foreigner from an alien land. No, no, he was part of a royal english house and lineage.
