NOTES

1. Titles of the assemblies are as given in the writs of summons.

2. The terminus post quem is normally that fixed for the day of assembly in the writs of summons, and the terminus ad quem is that on which the writs de expensis were issued. Days lost because of the non-arrival of members are not accounted for here.

3. With two exceptions, this column relates solely to the wool subsidy. The exceptions are 1372 and 1373, when tunnage and poundage was granted along with the maltolt in parliament (Rotuli Parliamentorum (London, 1783), ii. pp. 310, 317).

4. Adjournment of previous session.

5. The lords were asked to stay on after the dismissal of the commons (Rotuli Parliamentorum, ii. p. 273).

6. The burgesses were asked to stay on after the dismissal of the knights (Rotuli Parliamentorum, ii. p. 310).
