A major contribution to the history of Parliament, to medieval
English history, and to the study of the English constitution.
ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW The rolls of parliament were the official
records of the meetings of the English parliament from the reign of
Edward I (1272-1307) until the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509),
after which they were superseded by the journals of thelords, and,
somewhat later, the commons. This volume contains the records of
the parliaments held during the reign of Edward II, between October
1307 and November 1325. The parliament of January 1327, which was
called in the nameof Edward II, was instead treated as the first
parliament of the reign of Edward III. It covers a very eventful
reign, which was marked by political conflict, strong personal
enmities and civil war, wars with Scotland and France,and the
unprecedented deposition of the king in 1327 - all events
reflected, directly or indirectly, within the Rolls. An
Introduction to each of the Parliaments during this period
discusses the political context in which itwas held; the purpose
for which it was summoned; who was summoned; and analyzes the
proceedings of the parliament both as recorded in the Parliament
Rolls (several of which have not previously been published) and in
other sources, such as royal records and chronicles. Seymour
Phillips is Professor of History, University College Dublin.
