- Title
The Tudor Speakers 1485–1601: Choosing, Status, Work.
- Authors
HAWKYARD, ALASDAIR
- Abstract
During the Tudor period the Speaker was nominated by the crown. The house of commons acquiesced with the crown's nomination, but not entirely passively. There is a body of evidence suggesting that the crown's nominee became the focus of disapprobation once his name became known. What hostility there was to the Speaker-designate from the mid 16th century was displayed to better effect outside the House than within.
