Members of Parliament
The use of roman numerals, in brackets, is to distinguish between two MPs with the same name. It is not suggested that the men were known in that way, during their lifetimes.

Famous quotes related to members of parliament:
“The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
