While there was indeed a Parliament in most Medieval kingdoms they bore little resemblence to modern versions. On the most part they were heavily influenced by the monarch and only met upon the monarch's request. The main role of these parliaments was to be a middle ground between the monarch and their subjects.
However as they were only called at the monarch's request they tended to be only seen as the method the King or Queen used to collect taxes. Because this was always the monarch's main aim the parliament would have to try seek changes from the king in exchange for taxes.
Most parliaments had little concern for the lives of the peasants and urban dwellers and concerned themselves with the problems facing the rich landed gentry. However some countries such as Sweden had 3 houses of Parliament which included a peasents house.
