192).
The writ, 23rd Edward I., shows that community is a word of flexible import, for the knights are to represent the ^^ community of the counties," the citizens and burgesses the ^^ conmiunity of the towns." Likewise there is in 18th Edward I. a grant by the pre- lates and magnates for themselves and the community of the whole kingdom, of AOn. on each knight's fee to marry the king's daughter (the feudal law only allowing two marks), consequently this was a grant made without the consent of ...the citizens and burgesses. It appears, then, that at first these attended only to be taxed.
Thus there seems every reason to consider that from the year 1264, when Simon de Montford summoned them, the towns were regularly summoned as often as a parliament was held, but that they only attended when there was a question of taxing them, and that it was only towards the end of Edward I.'s reign that they attended as a regular and essential part of every parliament.
