The fourth Parliament of King James I was the last Parliament of his reign, sitting from 19 February 1624 to 24 May 1624 and then from 2 November 1624 to 16 February 1625. It was dissolved on the death of the King on 14 March 1625. The parliament was referred to as "''Fælix Parliamentum''" or the "Happy Parliament" by Sir Edward Coke. The three previous parliaments of James I had been a source of conflict and the King's opening address to the Commons commented on the "desire of all parties to forget past disagreements." However the parliamentary session was clouded by mutual suspicion and nearly every speech made tacit or explicit comments with reference to previous sessions. Prince of Wales Charles Stuart and the Duke of Buckingham used the Parliament to aid their push for a war against Spain. Buckingham and Charles played a large role in insuring the impeachment of Lord High Treasurer Lionel Cranfield, who was opposed to a war for financial reasons. ==See also== *List of MPs elected to the English parliament in 1624 *List of Parliaments of England *Duration of English Parliaments before 1660 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「4th Parliament of King James I」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
