mad parliament

Mad Parliament. In 1258, an assembly of 24 barons summoned to Oxford by Henry III that ultimately carried out certain reforms to settle differences between the king and the barons. • The assembly was called the Mad Parliament because it abridged the king’s power and gave unprecedented powers to the barons. The parliament produced the Provisions of Oxford. — Also termed parliamentum insanum. See PROVISIONS OF OXFORD.
