13 november 1295
edward i summoned the parliament on 13 november 1295. in calling the parliament, edward proclaimed in his writ of summons, "what touches all, should be approved of all, and it is also clear that common dangers should be met by measures agreed upon in common." at the time, parliament's legislative authority was limited and its primary role was to levy taxes. edward's paramount goal in summoning the parliament was to raise funds for his wars, specifically planned campaigns against the french and the scots for the upcoming year, and countering an insurgency in wales. this "sound finance" by taxation was a goal of summoning the parliament, but it was tied into "counsel" to the king and "the element of service" for feudalism.
