Abstract

Abstract : The table that follows attempts to summarize all known instances of extant common petitions, either in original form, in enrolments on the parliament rolls, or in transcriptions made elsewhere in the public records and in other archives, between the earliest known common petition (of 1290) and the year 1340. After 1343 the clerks of parliament normally included on the parliament roll a transcript of the schedule of common petitions submitted in the assembly, often in conjunction with grants of taxation; although there remain a significant number of unenrolled common petitions dating from after 1340, the overall chronology of the records is therefore rather more straightforward.
