Although the county contained a number of parliamentary boroughs, each of which elected one or two MPs in its own right for parts of the period when Northamptonshire was a constituency, these areas were not excluded from the county constituency. Owning freehold property of the required value, within such boroughs, could confer a vote at the county election. (After 1832,  only non-resident owners of forty shilling freeholds situated in borough seats could qualify for a county vote on the basis of that property.)Members of Parliament[edit]1290\u20131640[edit]Constituency created (1290)As there were sometimes significant gaps between Parliaments, the dates of first assembly and dissolution are given for those up to 1640.
