Parliaments of Early Modern Europe: 1400-1700

Michael A.R. Graves

4.9/5 (28022 ratings)

Description:This book is a comprehensive and accessible survey of the emergence and development of parliaments in Europe between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries. The Renaissance, the Reformation and the growth of composite monarchies, which brought together diverse territories under their rule, changed the face of Europe after the fifteenth century. European Parliaments experienced a variety of challenges, fortunes and fates: some survived, even flourished, but others succumbed to powerful monarchies. By investigating the powers and privileges and responsibilities of these institutions, Graves illuminates the whole business of government - the nature of executive power, the relations of ruler and ruled, the restraints of consent, and the realities of the tension between central authority and local custom. Includes surveys of the parliaments of Scandinavian, Polish, Hungarian and other peripheral States, as well as those of France, Spain, Germany and the Netherlands and examines the Scottish, Irish and English assemblies as well.
