Ordainers

Ordainers
The committee of barons and prelates who, opposing Edward II, imposed a series of ordinances (hence the name, Ordainers) upon the king for reform of government. The Ordainers were 21 in number. Among the demands of the barons were the following: the banishment of Piers Gaveston and other royal favourites who were seen to hold too great an influence over the king; the establishment of a baronial oligarchy to be the king's natural advisers; the barons to have the power to control all appointments of chief officials in the government and royal household; the king should not go to war or leave the country without baronial consent. -
