Like the "Fire and Faggot" event held 12 years earlier, it occurred at Leicester. Thomas Audley, Humphrey Wingfield and Richard Rich, successively, oversaw the "Reformation" one, which contemporaneously saw the title of Head of the Church bestowed to Henry VIII during its seven year span. The one under James I in 1614 was memorably "Adled," while the one organized in 1265 by Simon de Montfort is often cited as the first modern example of one in England. FTP, identify these political gatherings, of which Charles I called a "Long" one that was later turned into a "Rump."
