Lord Spencer changed sides about the same time. THE DIVISION OF THE PEERAGE 115 A list drawn up about the end of May enumerates CHAP. Thirty-two lords as being with the King at York. On ^J*L June 15 thirty-five peers signed a declaration asserting I&42 that the King had no intention of making war upon the Parliament. On the other hand, out of the forty- two peers mentioned in the same list as continuing to sit in Parliament, twelve joined the King within the next few weeks, as against three who... obeyed the order of the Parliament to leave him. 1 Taking the peerage as it stood at the opening of the Long Parliament, it may be roughly calculated that half of them actively supported the King and a quarter the Parliament, while the remainder were either absent from England, minors, or in some other way disqualified from taking part in the contest. 2 Rather more than thirty peers remained at West- minster and continued to act with the majority of the Lower House. The nucleus of this party consisted of seven out of the twelve peers who had signed the petition of August, 1640, namely Essex, Warwick, Saye, Brooke, Mandeville, Bolingbroke, and Howard of Escrick.
