All the combatants had white crosses fastened on their backs and breasts, both as a help to distinguish each other in battle, and as a token of the purity and sanctity of their cause. The battle of Lewes was fought on May 14. The parlia- ment which met after the victory drew up the new constitution which was to be in force during the remainder of Lew^e?^i26 Heury's reign. He was to be guided by a per- manent cou...ncil of nine, who were to be nominated by three electors chosen by the barons. These three electors were Earl Simon, the Earl of Gloucester, and Stephen Burgh- stede, Bishop of Chichester. The opposition to the king had been throughout a movement on behalf of justice, righteous- ness, and freedom against oppression and faithlessness, and the Church had taken a leading part in it from first to last. The great principle established by the victory at Lewes, and thenceforth never forgotten in England, was the same for which Grosseteste had bravely and persistently contended against both king and pope, that law is above the ruler, and that the sovereign who does not rule in accordance with law and truth must be restrained.
