Moving of the Royal Court

[CyrilVladisla]

During the reign of King Henry VI of England, a decision was made to remove the royal court from London to Coventry. Would not Parliament have to approve of such a decision?

Why? Courts in those days often moved location, especially in the summer months, in order that servants could clear up the filth and stenches in royal palaces that had been occupied for months. That wouldn't need Parliament's permission. If there was plague about or other diseases Courts would leave cities as well and move to the countryside.

The Portuguese royal court transferred from Lisbon to the Portuguese colony of Brazil in a strategic retreat of Queen Maria I of Portugal, Prince Regent John, the Braganza royal family and its court of nearly 420 people on 27 November 1807. The embarkment took place on the 27th, but due to weather conditions, the ships were only able to depart on the 29 November. The Braganza royal family departed for Brazil just days before Napoleonic forces invaded Lisbon on 1 December. The Portuguese crown remained in Brazil from 1808 until the Liberal Revolution of 1820 led to the return of John VI of Portugal on 26 April 1821.
