- ^ Various sources blame the failure of talks on the king's stubbornness (c.f. Algernon Percy § Conversion to the peace faction). However, the proceedings from the event reveal a pattern of Parliament proposing absurdly one-sided measures, the King responding with proposals that meet them halfway, and Parliament refusing to budge. Given that the proceedings likely reflect the work of secretaries allied with Parliament (Thurloe and Earle), it is reasonable to suppose their reporting was not unduly biased to favor the king.
