MPs 1510 – 1707

There are periods of time when there were no parliaments so the dates given are for the assembly and then dissolution for those parliaments that were held. The House of Commons 1509–1558 and 1558–1603 distinguished two politicians with the same name by the use of roman numerals, as used here.

Where names are listed as ‘unknown’ they were either not recorded on available parliamentary or electorial documents or have not been ascertained by other means (such as private diaries, letters, and suchlike).
