释义 | Long Parliamentn. Now historical. 1. The second of the two parliaments summoned by Charles I in 1640 (for the first, see Short Parliament n. at short adj., n., and adv. Compounds 6a), which sat from 3 November 1640 until its forcible dissolution by Oliver Cromwell on 20 April 1653, was recalled from May to October 1659, and again from November 1659 until its final dissolution on 16 March 1660.After Parliament’s victory over Charles I in the English Civil War, around 140 Members of Parliament were excluded by Pride's Purge in December 1648 (see Pride's Purge n. at purge n. 3b), while many others absented themselves voluntarily; the remaining part of the Long Parliament is usually known as the Rump Parliament (see Rump Parliament n. at rump n.1 Compounds 2). In late February 1660 all surviving members who had been excluded by Pride's Purge were recalled in order to dissolve the Long Parliament.
