The English Roots of Impeachment
The early roots of impeachment run to the century after the Norman Conquest (1066 a.d.), but the first recognizable impeachment trial was that of Lord William Latimer in 1376. Latimer’s many crimes included corruption bordering on treason. When the aged King Edward III refused to restrain Latimer, the House of Commons impeached him and he was convicted in the House of Lords. He spent a year in jail and lost his high offices. Few subsequent impeachments proceeded so smoothly. A decade later, King Richard II’s Chancellor, Michael de le Pole, the Earl of Suffolk, was charged with “high crimes and misdemeanors,” the first use of this famous phrase in an impeachment context, and eventually with treason, whereupon he fled to France. So, by the late-14th century, the outlines of the impeachment process and charges were recognizable.
