Question from Monica - MPs in the 1560s

How important was the role of MP in the 1560s? How much influence did it give you, and was the pay good? How much did you have to do?

The best source for this information is probably "History of Parliament, The House of Commons",
1558-1603, P.Hasler (ed.), (1981) vol. 2. It should be available at a research university library. The introductory material contains much of what you want to know. The balance of the volume are mini biographies of the members of parliament during Elizabeth's reign.
