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after which they were superseded by the journals of thelords, and,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 covers the first ten years
of the reign of Edward III. It begins with the parliament of 1327,
during which Edward II was deposed, which was called in the name of
Edward II but was treated as the first parliament of the reign of
Edward III. In addition to the deposition and later murder of
Edward II, this period was marked by other dramatic events: the
rule of Roger Mortimer and Isabella, the former queenof Edward II;
the trials in 1330 of Mortimer and his accomplices for the murder
of Edward II; the renewal of war with Scotland and the path to war
with France. All these are reflected directly or indirectly in the
Parliament Rolls. An introduction is provided to each of the
Parliaments during this period, discussing the political context in
which it was held; the purpose for which it was summoned; who was
summoned; and analyzing the proceedings of the parliament both as
recorded in the Parliament Rolls and in other sources, such as
royal records and chronicles. Seymour Phillips is Professor of
History, University College Dublin; Mark Ormrod is Professor of
History,University of York.
