On November 6, 1450 King Henry VI opened Parliament at Westminster. Richard, Duke of York had used his influence to get men of his own affinity elected. As a result they were the dominant party. Parliament tried to stay neutral and would not discuss the merits of the King's councillors. It was readier to talk about the provision of a fixed income for the royal household.
