Synopsis

This book contains the proceedings of Sir Thomas Darnel, Sir John Heveningham, Sir Walter Earl, Sir John Corbet, and Sir Edmond Hampden. These five knights refused to pay the "loan money" demanded by Charles 1 in 1626. The book explores the origins of "loan money", a form of taxation without consent of parliament that had fallen out of use since the reign of Richard III. The book also contains summaries of the arguments made in court. These arguments rehearsed the historical development of the right to personal liberty and freedom from arbitrary detention and are of great value to constitutional historians.
