Convention Parliament

The term Convention Parliament has been applied to three different English Parliaments, of 1399, 1660 and 1689.

Convention Parliament of 1399

The first example of a convention parliament (a parliament which is not often referred to as a 'convention parliament' but is always recognised as being one) in September 1399, came about as a result of the deposition of King Richard II of England and a parliament which accepted Henry Bolingbroke as King Henry IV of England.
