King Charles I entered the English House of Commons, accompanied by armed soldiers, during a sitting of the Long Parliament, although the Five Members were no longer in the House at the time. The Five Members were: * John Hampden (c. 1594–1643) * Arthur Haselrig (1601–1661) * Denzil Holles (1599–1680) * John Pym (1584–1643) * William Strode (1598–1645)
