About the Book

This is a study of the English parliament during the reign of Henry VII. It challenges a well-established interpretation: that the political importance of parliament was declining in this period as a result of royal hostility. Instead the study argues that the king valued parliament as an instrument of government. P.R. Cavill also examines the range of ways in which parliament engaged the king's subjects. It explores how parliamentary decisions affected everyday life. Cavill further proposes that this period was important in the development of the English constitution because it laid some of the groundwork for the emerging principle of parliamentary sovereignty.

About the Author :
I was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford. As a graduate student, I worked on Henry VII's reign under the supervision of Dr Steven Gunn. On completing my doctoral thesis in 2005, I was appointed to a junior research fellowship at Merton College, Oxford. In 2007 I took up the post of lecturer in early modern history at Bangor University. My research focuses on politics, government, and the constitution in the early Tudor period.

Review :
Definitive...this book is a pleasure to read and a gap-filler for any late-medieval and Tudor scholars library. A masterly general study marked by rigorous analysis, clarity and readability. Original, insightful, elegantly written in a sparse style, this is a fine book and, as the book of a thesis, an outstanding one. A book built upon impressively extensive and thorough archival research... Concise and clear in its elucidation.
