Grand Parliament in theory encompasses all nobles who rule a barony or greater, and all bishops and abbots of Glabados; however, in practice, few nobles below Viscount status routinely attend unless Full Roll is convoked, and abbots are rarely ever present and are not compelled to attendance even under parliamentary convocation.
