Talk:List of MPs not excluded from the English parliament in 1648

Rump Parliament
A very useful list, but why not call this Members of the Rump Parliament or Initial members of the Rump Parliament or something similar? -- PBS (talk) 23:23, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * This is to get some consistency with the other lists of MPs that are given by general election dates. The Long Parliament gives a bit of a problem because its compostition changed so much. Pride's Purge was in fact a sort of election, so it could have been called "MPs selected to the English parliament in Pride's Purge in 1648". Using nicknames is not as helpful as the average reader will not understand them - and the Rump actually convened on two occasions years apart. You could create a Category for Members of the Rump Parliament. However the important thing for now is to fill out the list rather than worry about its name.Motmit (talk) 08:57, 7 October 2010 (UTC)


 * While I agree that the content is more important than the names -- and thank you for your Stirling workon this and similar articles -- I do not think that nicknames are not as helpful as dates for the average reader. People tend to remember nicknames long after they have forgotten the date or the correct name, eg "Bomber Harris" is far more recognisable than "Author Harris".


 * I think for most English children who study this period Rump Parliament is one of the most a memorial names in history because like their bawdy ancestors they think naming a parliament after a bottom is funny. (when George Monck recalled the Long Parliament the Londoners held street parties and roasted Rumps, Pepys Saturday 11 February 1659/60 names like Short followed by Long and the also memorable Barebones Parliament (it and he sounds like, and behaved like, caricatures made up by Monty Python) are I think these names much easier to remember than the dates of the events. -- PBS (talk) 10:21, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't disagree with you, but speaking personally I am only just getting to grips seriously with the chronology of the period since the schoolkid's "1066 and all that" stuff left me completely confused and ignorant as to what happened when. The international readership, which far outnumbers the few (sadly) English children who study history properly at all, will not even have that background. Motmit (talk) 11:20, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Henry Lucas
Henry Lucas is listed here. But in his own article it is stated he was excluded by Pride's Purge, and the Cambridge University (UK Parliament constituency) page says "secluded" --Rumping (talk) 16:06, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Sir John Lenthall
Noble says Sir John Lenthall was excluded. For the moment I have simply added a note. Is Noble reliable? Rjm at sleepers (talk) 07:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


 * You will find Noble cited in reliable sources but his work has been criticised: See User:PBS/Library. It is probably best to treat his works like primary sources on only cite him if you can find a more reliable secondary source that cites him. -- PBS (talk) 14:15, 20 May 2013 (UTC)


 * There were two Sir John Lenthalls one was the man we are discussing and the other was his uncle. According to the ODNB this Sir John was not excluded:  -- PBS (talk) 16:20, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

List for 1659 Rump Parliament
Here is a list of MPs still alive from the Long Parliament in 1659. Those excluded and those included (a list of those in the Rump Parliament at the time when Cromwell stopped its session on 20 April 1653):

Page 375 contains the list of Rumpers and page 376 concludes "total Number 91" and then adds details of the numbers who took their seats in 1659. -- PBS (talk) 19:58, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
