The intention was to use the parliament in order to impose taxes upon the citizens to fund the military for future wars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Model Parliament The next time the burgesses were summoned along with the knights of the shire was in 1295. This was to become known as the Model Parliament, because its representation of two knights from each county and two burgesses from each town became normal for (almost) all future Parliaments.
