He was formerly Co-editor and Principal Research Assistant on the 1509-1558 section of the History of Parliament.

The gentleman usher of the Black Rod's responsibilities ranged from the ceremonial and rituals of the Order of the Garter to the everyday functioning of the House of Lords. During his time as Black Rod, Sir Thomas Duppa compiled \u003ci\u003eThe Commonplace Book\u003c\/i\u003e for his own use. It sheds scarce and important light not only on how the Lords was actually managed, and the daily routines that aided its running in a period of constitutional change and political revolution, but also on the personalities of the period. Vital information on the disputes that took place over precedence and responsibilities between those employed at court and those working in parliament reveal that very little passed without problem and neither place was entirely happy. Although not actually unique, \u003ci\u003eThe Commonplace Book\u003c\/i\u003e is an extremely rare survival from the late seventeenth century, offering invaluable insights and information for students and scholars of parliamentary and constitutional history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990191358181,"sku":"NP9781119085997","price":41.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119085997.jpg?v=1761786854","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-commonplace-book-of-sir-thomas-duppa-isbn-9781119085997","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
