Simon de Montfort, video

What your students will learn

Simon de Montfort’s Parliament represented a crucial step on the path to parliamentary democracy. For the first time, it brought together representatives from different towns and cities – a principle which can be seen reflected in the make-up of the modern House of Commons.

These resources are suitable for Citizenship lessons exploring the origins of local representation in Parliament, or History, specifically as part of the KS3 ‘Magna Carta and the Emergence of Parliament’ curriculum.
