The fourteenth century witnessed the emergence of the parliamentary
common petition, a statement of grievance and request for reform
that provided the basis for much of the royal legislation of the
period. In the process of compiling the common petitions, much
proposed business was set aside and not committed to the permanent
record of the parliament roll. A significant body of that 'lost'
material has now been recovered and is published here for the first
time, providing a fresh understanding of the full range of
preoccupations of the medieval House of Commons as it emerged as
the mouthpiece of the political community before the king.
Alongside questions over the rights of the church, the corruption
of officials and the processes of royal justice, the commons also
expressed deep concerns over the many political, economic and
social concerns of the period, including the consequences of war,
plague and revolt.
