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.
