In 1308 a parliament of barons met and forced the king to drive him into exile. Edward strove to lighten his misfortunes by appointing him governor of Ireland, and set to work at once to intrigue for his return. In 1309 the king shrewdly adopted a long series of reforms, which a parliament of the three states urged upon him. In return for these concessions, the parliament allowed Edward to bring his friend back to England. But the leading barons refused to be bound by the acts of this parliamen...t. 3. In 1310 another baronial assembly resolved to punish the king for restoring his favourite by compelling him to appoint a committee of barons to draft ordinances for the future government of his realm. In a vain hope of nances and saving Gaveston, Edward agreed to this proposal, the Lords Accordingly, a body of twenty-one ImvAs Ordainers ?n^Q^, ^t\\' was apijointed from the earls, barons, and bishops. In 1311 they drew up the Ordinances.
