The earl of Surrey, however, though he had submitted, and delivered himself into the king's hands, was sent prisoner to the Tower. During this parliament, the king also bestowed favors and honors on some particular persons who were attached to him.
Edward Stafford, eldest son of the duke of Buckingham attainted in the late reign, was restored to the honors of his family, as well as to his fortune, which was very ample.
This generosity, so unusual in Henry, was the effect of his gratitude to the memory of Buckingham, who had first concerted the plan of his elevation, and who by his own ruin had made way for that great event.
Chandos of Brittany was created earl of Bath, Sir Giles Daubeny, Lord Daubeny, and Sir Robert Willoughby, Lord Broke.
These were all the titles of nobility conferred by the king during this session of parliament.[*] * Polyd.Virg.p.
