The first summons of parliamentum generalissimum in November 1236 for January 1237, was for 24 barons, known as a Special Writ formed Curia Regis (later House of Lords), but only 18 actually attended.[1] The first parliamentum was a result of baronial revolt and an infant minority King in wardship, rather than the celebrated Magna Carta, specifically. A writ of mandamus was sent to bishops, the lords spiritual, and judges. Lord Chancellor was responsible for summons, and in later parliaments for writ of patent (peer creation); Writs of Tenure were issued to royal officers, and in medieval parliaments to sheriffs and knights, latterly ‘of the shire’ who had won their spurs, to come armed.[c] Burgesses were rarely summoned, e.g. when Edward I wanted extra funds. Statute of Merton was generally the first passed by an English ‘parliament’.[2] The “whole body (universitas) knoweth not,” denying the king on thirtieth imposition.2nd[b]14 December 1241n\/a27 January 1242…?n\/aThe king’s writ summoned the barons to appear at London on the Wednesday before Candlemas Day.

They accused the kings of “extortions” that were “wasted scandalously”.[3]3rd12441244…?n\/aThe king asked for “a pecuniary aid”. The barons wanted to be consulted about the “proposal”. The king refused the “Petition of the Nobles”; the king should choose counsellors by advice of the Committee of Twelve.

They argued against the Pope’s Peter-Pence that oppressed the kingdom.[4]3rd…n\/a3 February 1247…?n\/aUniversitas meaning the ‘whole of the clergy’ were summoned to the council in London.[5] Baronial letters preserved by Matthew Paris showed fear of the Vatican bulls and interdicts.[6]4th[b]…n\/a23 January 124812 February 1248?n\/aParliamentum met at London during Hilary term. Writs showed how outlawry reached the statute books; by holding it contract void, no one could be imprisoned without first obtaining a judgement in court. No justiciar appointed, and no chancellor for Henry to receive a long list of grievances. Henry claimed cum privilegio right to choose his own ministers. On 9 February, the king used church hierarchy to buttress power in colloquium with lay magnates to raise taxes.[7]…n\/a1 March 1251?n\/aA parliament at London was called to try Henry de Batho, the Chief Justice, for treason.[8] Lord John Mansel had to quell the fury of the mob. de Batho was released on payment of 2,000 marks.5th…n\/a1 October 1252?n\/aMichaelmas term at Westminster intercommuning (communiter) took place between church and lay magnates.

John Stowe raised the principle of parliament by consent.[1]9th…n\/a1 October 1255…?n\/aA parliament met at London and lasted only a month.10th…n\/a2 April 12582 May 1258?n\/aOn 12 April Hugh de Lusignan occupies Westminster Hall with a body of armed men. Parliament met at London, but was adjourned on 5 May, to retire as a Council of Twenty-four to Oxford. Henry relied on his richest individual nobles, communitas regni to raise funds, for example, Earl of Derby and Earl of Salisbury.[11]11th[b]2 May 1258n\/a11 June 1258…?n\/aParliament met on St Barnabas Day.

They could claim court expenses for duties, respect all parties; and to refuse gifts. On 18 October, a proclamation made it a felony to oppose a sheriff’s jurisdiction.[19] On 20 October, it was declared that proclamations would be read pluries in anno throughout the year.[21]13th…n\/a27 October 12584 November 1258?Peter de MontfortThe parliament probably moved on towards Oxford on the Octave of Michaelmas. It is sometimes known as the Mad Parliament. Knights of the shire (representing counties) were the only commoners summoned. They were not required to be chosen by election. Between 1237 and 1258, the king was refused a grant of aid on nine occasions. Parliament already had a say on 80% of the revenues; only 20% went directly to the Exchequer.[22]14th[b]…n\/a3 February 1259…?n\/aParliament met at Westminster on the morrow of Candlemas.

Its legislation was known as the ‘Provisions of Westminster’.[27] There was a parliament in Midsummer, 1259 because all ordinances had to be issued before 1 November, banning writs precipe and baronial protection to lesser men; there were however many complaints, petitions, writs of entry, and specific querelae .[28] The free tenement had to be protected by the actions of novel disseisin.[30] The new legislative provisions were translated from French into Latin, enrolled in The Close Rolls after being read in the presence of the King at Westminster Hall. There may have been nine parliaments between 1258 and 1261.[32]16th…n\/aMichaelmas 125914 November 1259?n\/aParliament was held at Westminster. “The Provisions of Oxford” was not a document: it was practical and temporary record that limited royal government. Drawn up by 24 barons independent of, and not by parliament.[33] On 24 October, the Provisions of Westminster were published.[34] Henry sailed with the sealed Writs on 14 November 1259, and so the parliamentary session ended.17th[b]27 March 1260n\/a>30 April 1260…?n\/aOver 100 barons and tenants-in-chief were summoned to Westminster, by special writ while the king was in France. Citizens of London drafted complaints against Lord Edward and Earl of Leicester.18th[b]…n\/a8 July 1260…?n\/aThe Hoketide parliament at Candlemas was cancelled to take the fight among the barons to Llywelyn.

On 8 September, the provisum (provisions) were promulgated at St Paul’s.[45] Government removed to Windsor, and the Lord Edward ordered parliament to break up on 30 October; it was the beginning of the end for De Montfort and the Provisions.[46]25th…n\/a1 March 12643 April 1264?n\/aDe Montfort at Northampton had defeated the royalists, while Henry held a parliament at Oxford. The bishops were present.[47][48] Montfort published the Ordinance (28 June 1264) of the Mise of Lewes which encompassed the principles of the Provisions. The triumvirate chose 9 councillors, three of whom would monitor the King’s progress. The parliament probably broke up when Henry marched out in April with the dragon standard.
