History of Parliament Staff
Dr Linda Clark
Section Editor, 1422-1504
Research
For this Section of the History of Parliament I have been focusing on the representatives of Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire and Sussex, and of the 26 parliamentary boroughs in those counties, and have also written biographies of the shire knights for Surrey. Among those studied are leading members of the families of Danvers, Hoo, Lewknor and Poynings, the Speaker John Wood, and the clerk of the Commons Thomas Bayen.
Besides being General Editor of The Fifteenth Century (a collection of essays published annually by Boydell and Brewer), I am one of the convenors of the Late Medieval History seminar at the Institute of Historical Research. I hope one day to write a book about Henry Bourgchier (1408-83), earl of Essex and treasurer of England, who was the subject of my doctoral thesis.
