Fire and " " Parliament

The Fire and " " Parliament was an English Parliament held in May 1414 during the reign of Henry V.. It was held at Greyfriars in Leicester, and the Speaker was Walter Hungerford. It is named for passing the Suppression of Heresy Act 1414, which called for burning the Lollards with bundles of sticks ("" "").
The decision was inspired by the 1199 decretal Vergentis in senium of Pope Innocent III. The Parliament also confirmed Archbishop Arundel's policy of licensing books for publication:
The King received the rights to tonnage and poundage for life from this Parliament. This precedence was continued for all subsequent monarchs until the Useless Parliament in 1625 when Charles I was granted the right for only one year.
