#OnThisDay 1642: King Charles I entered the House of Commons to seize five MPs for high treason. After failing to capture the Members and fearing for his family's lives, Charles left for Oxford. Since that time, no monarch has entered the House of Commons when it is sitting.

@Shola_Olan @RHULSchools Do you mean for other subjects?

[History Of Parliament @HistParl]

As the first Hanoverian King, it is often said that George I (born #OTD 1660) couldn't even speak English when he took the throne. But is this #factorfiction?

Find out in this video, based on a blog from @GeorgianLords @Citizens800 https://t.co/z6spFu5c4X

[History Of Parliament @HistParl]

In December 1918 Constance Markievicz became the first female MP elected to the House of Commons, but she never took her seat.

However, in our latest video we ask if Markievicz was actually even eligible for this role... #WHM
