Lovell [aged 26] received his first summons to a parliament on 15th November 1482. At this gathering the three leaders of the- Scottish campaign, Gloucester, Northumberland and Stanley, were praised for their success.
On 20th January 1483 Lovell [aged 27] was appointed a trier of petitions for England.47
Note 47. Rot. Parl., vol. 6, pp.196, 237. Lovell was apparently not summoned to parliament in 1478, perhaps because he came of age too late for the wheels of bureaucracy to start turning, although he did receive licence to enter his estates two weeks before the summons were issued on 20 November 1477; J. C. Wedgwood, History of Parliament, 1439-1509: Register, HMSO 1938, p.423.
He [Francis Lovell [aged 27]] was, however, strikingly singled out with his promotion on 4th January 1483 to the rank of Viscount, an honour accorded by Edward IV to only one other nobleman, William [aged 57], Lord Berkeley (1481). The ceremony began with his entering the King’s great chamber, dressed in his parliament robes, led between his cousin, Lord Morley1, and his brother-in-law, Richard [aged 26]2, Lord Fitzhugh. His patent was read aloud by the King’s secretary, and he proceeded to his chamber accompanied by the sound of trumpets. There he distributed fees to the 'officers of arms' and his titles were recited in the hall — 'puissant et noble visconte Lovell, sieur dew Holland, de Burnell, Deygnecort et de Grey de Rotherfilde'.48 There can be little doubt that this elevation was due primarily to the influence of the Duke of Gloucester, and the sudden turn of events in the summer of 1483, and Gloucester’s assumption of the throne, meant a rapid escalation in grants and appointments to his friend and associate, Lovell.

Note 48. BL. Additional MS. 6113, f.126d. Curiously, the writer of the account places this creation in the reign of Richard III, but this is almost certainly wrong. He also says that Thomas Thwaites was knighted on the same day, and according to W. A. Shaw, The Knights of England, vol. 2, London 1906, p.21, this took place on 3 January 1483.
