This is a list of Members of Parliament (MPs) elected to the last parliament in the reign of King James I in 1624, which was known as the Happy Parliament.
The parliament began on 19 February 1624 and was held to 24 May 1624. It then sat from 2 November 1624 to 16 February 1625 and was dissolved on the death of the King on 14 March 1625.
List of constituencies and members[]
In 1624 the constituencies of Amersham, Great Marlow, Wendover and Hertford were re-enfranchised after the Committee of Privileges investigated abuses where the right of boroughs to return burgesses had fallen into disuse.[1]
