Bad Parliament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bad Parliament sat in England between 27 January and 2 March 1377. Influenced by Prince John of Gaunt, it undid the work done by the Good Parliament to reduce corruption in the Royal Council.[1] It also introduced a poll tax which was a contributing factor to the Peasants' Revolt in 1381.
