Jerusalem Chamber
The Chapter-house of Westminster Abbey. Henry IV. died there,
March 20, 1413.
It hath been prophesied to me many years,
I should not die but in Jerusalem.
Shakespeare: 2 Henry IV., iv. 5.
Pope Silvester II. was told the same thing, and he died as he was
saying mass in a church so called. (Bacon: Tusculum.)
The Lower House of Convocation now meets in the Jerusalem Chamber.
The Upper House meets at Mr. Hodgson's, in Dean's Yard, Westminster.
