The house of commons is the current leading sector of the houses of parliament (the other main house being the Lords).

In 1265, Simon de Montfort, 6th Earl of Leicester summoned the first elected Parliament. But at this time there was not a house of lords nor a house of commons.

The house of Commons was created during the reign of Edward III of England, 25 January 1327 – 21 June 1377.

"The English Parliament traces its origins to the Anglo-Saxon Witenagemot. In 1066, William of Normandy brought a feudal system, where he sought the advice of a council of tenants-in-chief and ecclesiastics before making laws. In 1215, the tenants-in-chief secured the Magna Carta from King John, which established that the king may not levy or collect any taxes (except the feudal taxes to which they were hitherto accustomed), save with the consent of his royal council, which slowly developed into a parliament."

It was after the civil war when the the parliamentarians defeated one of the kings (i think it was Charles number 1 or 2). The monarchy was restored, and parliamentary democracy started in 1666. quick google search for the king in 1666 will give you the answer, but im lazy xD
