List of MPs elected to the English parliament in November 1640

The fifth and last Parliament of Charles I began at Westminster 3 November 1640 and continued sitting till 20 April 1653, when it was dissolved.

The length of the parliament and the turbulent times of the civil war resulted in a considerable turnover of MPs.

In the first year groups of MPs were lost - some were created peers as Charles I wished to strengthen his House of Lords; others were expelled as monopolists or for subversion.

As the country plunged into Civil War, the Westminster parliament was divided, with over 150 MPs throwing in their lot with the King, and meeting at Oxford.

Several MPs on both sides were killed in action, adding to the normal roll call of deaths through natural causes.
