The King's Parliament of England

By G.O. Sayles

Book Overview

Among England's many contributions to western civilization, the development of a workable democracy is easily the most important. And while democratic institutions have been adopted by other than English - a creation of centuries of trial and error. A great deal is known about the recent history of parliaments. Less understood, however, are the origins of the English Parliament during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.
