Question

Feb 13 2011, 21:24:54 State Opening of Parliament and Latin/English

1) When was the first State Opening of Parliament; is it accessible? When was the first State Opening of Parliament given in English?

2) When did Parliament shift from Latin to English? I believe 1580 but would love a confirmation

3) Was there a speech similar to the State Opening of Parliament existing before it as a predecessor?
