Parliament Rolls of Medieval England
The rolls of parliament were the official records of the meetings of
the English parliament from the reign of Edward I (1272 - 1307) until
the reign of Henry VII (1485 - 1509), after which they were superseded
by the journals of the lords and, somewhat later, of the commons.
