9 May 1536 – Council Meetings and Juries
On 9th May 1536, King Henry VIII sent a message to Thomas Cromwell
“commanding him to repair to the King to treat of matters relating to the
surety of his person, his honor, and the tranquillity of the realm” and also
summoned a number of noblemen and gentlemen to a council meeting.
While Henry VIII was meeting with his council, the Justices of the
King’s Bench were sending orders to the sheriffs of London to assemble a grand
jury at Westminster on 10th May to rule on offences alleged to have taken place
in Middlesex (at Whitehall and Hampton Court Palace). You can read more about
this, including a list of men sworn in, in my article 9 May 1536 – Meetings and Legal
Proceedings.
