On this day
1265 England's first Parliament met at Westminster Hall London, convened by the 6th Earl of Leicester - Simon de Montfort. Leader of the opposition to King Henry III.
In the words of one historian, "the House of Commons in embryo"
Montfort died at Battle of Evesham.

No Prince so intimately vers'd has been

You are Your Self a Senate, Diet, One,
A single Council, Parliament alone.

Congrats Sir Terence Etherton #Peerage
The Parliament will decide your fate.

@OorPatts It will be lovely to meet you. But I am not sitting out in the cauld. Blankets or no blankets. Thank you for the toon earlier this year that I gave to @SandraWhiteSNP to celebrate her coming retirement from Parliament. We loved it.
