Jt is not generally known thai there was an English Parliament which was opened by an "infant in arms.*' Tt was Henry Vl.'s first Parliament. The infant monarch was led through the crowded streets of. London from the Tower to Westminster on the back of a tall horse. After the Royal infant had been regaled on a diet of bread and milk he was carried into the House of Lords. Seated on his mother"s knee, he took a dignified part in the proceedings.
