Meeting on Heworth Moor
The great meeting on Heworth Moor outside York took place on 3 June 1642. The Lords and gentry of Yorkshire were summoned there by King Charles I to garner support from the county in his struggle with Parliament. At the meeting, at the request of Parliament, Lord Fairfax petitioned Charles to listen to Parliament and to discontinue the raising of troops.
==Prelude==
During the summer of 1642 both the Parliamentary party and King Charles I negotiated with each other while preparing for war.
Previously to the commencement of the English Civil War, the king, to avoid the importunity of the Parliament, who petitioned for the exclusive control of the militia, and for other privileges subversive of the royal authority, moved from London to York, and was received by the inhabitants of York with every demonstration of loyalty and affection. He sent a message to both houses of Parliament, and afterwards advanced to Hull, to secure the arsenal there which had been left in that town, upon the disbanding of the army raised to oppose the Scots in the Bishops War; but, on being denied admission by Sir John Hotham, the parliamentary governor, he returned to York. Parliament soon after appointed a commission to reside in York, to strengthen their party, and to watch the movements of the king. On their passing an ordinance for embodying the militia, the king ordered his friends to meet him in York, whither he directed the several courts to be in future adjourned. The Lord-Keeper Lyttelton, being ordered by Parliament not to issue the writs, apparently obeyed; but on the first opportunity made his escape to York, and brought with him the Great Seal, joined the royal party, for which he was afterwards proclaimed by Parliament a traitor and a felon.
