Part A: How far do the sources support the argument that from 1529 to 1640 the powers and privileges of parliament increased steadily at the expense of royal power?
When studied collectively the sources suggest that parliament’s power did increase between 1529 and 1640, therefore concurring with the questioning statement. It is possible with the use of the sources to dispute that this power was not gained at the expense of royal power or that it increased steadily. ...
The interpretation of these sources is that it is clear that parliaments power was increasing but it was not at the expense of royal power, in source 4 it states that the strength the crown gained firm the union of king-in-parliament gave Henry power unequalled by any other English monarch, the break form the Roman Catholic church and the Pope was a clear indication of this.
