Tudor Parliaments, the Crown, Lords and Commons,1485-1603 - Paperback

by Michael a. R. Graves (Author)

This excellent short survey looks at the workings of parliament under the first four Tudor monarchs. After an introductory first section which looks at parliament's medieval origins, the author then considers all aspects of early parliamentary history - including the historiography of the early Tudor parliaments, membership and attendance, the legislative roles of the Lords and Commons and the specific parliaments themselves.
