The Parliament of 1327, which sat at the Palace of Westminster between 7 January and 9 March 1327, was instrumental in the transfer of the English crown from King Edward II to his son, Edward III, previously Earl of Chester. Edward II had become increasingly unpopular with the English nobility, predominantly because of the excessive influence of unpopular court favourites, the patronage he devoted to them, and his perceived ill-treatment of the nobility. By 1325, even his wife Isabella despised him. Toward the end of the year, she took their son Edward Earl of Chester to France, where she joined Roger Mortimer, whom her husband had exiled. Next year, they invaded England and deposed Edward II. Isabella and Mortimer summoned parliament to legitimate their regime. It gathered at Westminster Palace on 7 January. King Edward was accused of fundamentally betraying of his coronation oath. Londoners intimidated anyone likely to oppose the King's deposition: This officially occurred on the afternoon of 13 January.
 * Most recent similar article(s): That page only shows TFAs in July 2018? Bizarre; still, I haven't seen anything high medieval since—well, I haven't seen anything High medieval. Something by Ealdgyth perhaps? Having said that, I never watch the front page so wouldn't really know, A chronological list would be phenomenally handy in this situation, particularly one that was organised discretely.

 * Promoted: 7 October 2018
 * Reasons for nomination: Proposing this appears on 13 January 2018, as that is the day the deposition is generally considered to have taken place, so it's a numerical anniversary. And yes, for what it's worth "it would be your first FA to appear at TFA" also applies.

 * If something is running on January 13, we don't generally start out with a reference to January 7. Looking quickly, I don't see a way to get January 13 into the first two sentences ... thoughts? - Dank (push to talk) 17:07, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * That was quick! Just to clarify, I didn't actually "support as nom"—the software put that in for me?How about working it backwards? Something akin to King EII of Eng was deposed on the afternoon on 13 January during the Parlt of 1327. This was instrumental in... and then the stuff about what he had done wrong, the Londoners etc?  ——  SerialNumber  54129  17:23, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, something like that will work. No objection. - Dank (push to talk) 18:03, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
