Based largely on manuscript material, this comprehensive account of
the Irish Parliament in the Middle Ages shows that early Irish
parliaments cannot be identified either in form or function with
their modern namesake and, consequently, demonstrates that the
concept of governmental democracy had a much slower, more gradual
development than historians have heretofore believed. The history
of the Irish Parliaments proper begins with that held at
Castledermot in mid-June 1264. During the reign of Edward II and
the early years of Edward III significant changes took
place-changes, the authors, point out, similar to those taking
place in the development of the English Parliament, though there
were important differences. The book continues with a description
of the Irish Parliament in the middle years of Edward III's reign
and concludes with an account of the parliament at Drogheda held in
1494, when the passing of Poyning's Law brought the period of
medieval parliaments to a close. The appendices include an almost
complete list of the meetings convened between 1264 and 1494, as
well as copies of documents that, the authors say, are the only
means whereby a close glimpse may be had of the personnel and
deliberations of the Privy Council.
