Book excerpt: This first detailed account of the five parliaments of Mary's reign--a governance crucial in the development of the House of Commons--reveals that Mary, like her father and sister, was able to carry out unpopular policies without seriously alienating her most important subjects, providing further evidence of the strong bonds between Tudor monarchs and the property-owning class.
