| Abstract | Paper -a:
An investigationof the sorts of men chosen to act as substitutes, that is proctors, for ecclesiastical peers in parliament. Although many were fellow-clerics, a number were laymen and this paper will investigate the links between bishops, and, more especially abbots, and the proctors they chose. Were these relationshops between equals, or was one party more powerful than the other?
Paper -b:
This paper presents the preliminary findings of a survey of the knights of the shire of Edward III's parliaments (or a selection thereof). Who these MPs were and what connections they had to the crown remains one of the last great unknowns of late medieval parliamentary history. By pinpointing certain aspects of the careers of these MPs I hope to be able to demonstrate how levels of loyalty in the assembly fluctuated across the reign.
