註釋

"The Addled Parliament of 1614 is best known for the storm over the undertakers, who were accused of packing the House of Commons in order to manipulate it in the King's interest. Although this par-liament was summoned primarily to replenish the royal treasury, it broke up in a storm of angry sus-picion without accomplishing its purpose. This book is a complete account of the Addled Parliament, from the decision to summon it up to the effects of its abrupt dissolu-tion. The purpose is to discover the causes of the break between King and Parliament by analyzing one of James I's most abject failures" - Publisher.
