Knights of the Shire for Bedfordshire
The body of the book is a biographical dictionary of the men who represented Bedfordshire in Parliament as knights of the shire between 1274 and 1495. It is preceded by a list of Parliaments and Bedfordshire’s representatives, taken from official returns.
The work for this volume was undertaken for the Committee on the History of Parliament, forerunner of the History of Parliament Trust (opens in a new window). The biographical entries and the introduction give a flavour of the type of men who represented the county.
