Henry II., which is undated, contains the first certain evidence of settlement. By it the king granted to William,count of Albemarle, See also:free borough rights in Hedon so that his burgesses there might hold of him as freely and quietly as the burgesses of See also:York or See also:Lincoln held of the king. An earlier charter granted to the inhabitants of York shows that these rights included a trade gild and freedom from many dues not only in England but also in See also:France. King See also:John in 1200 granted a See also:confirmation of these liberties to See also:Baldwin, count of Albemarle, and Hawisia his wife and for this second charter the burgesses themselves paid 70 marks. In 1272 Henry III. granted to See also:Edmund, See also:earl of See also:Lancaster, and Avelina his wife, then See also:lord and See also:lady of the manor, the right of holding a See also:fair at Hedon on the See also:eve, See also:day, and morrow of the feast of St Augustine and for five following days. After the countess's See also:death the manor came to the hands of See also:Edward I. In 128o it was found by an See also:inquisition that the men of Hedon "were few and poor " and that if the town were demised at a See also:fee-See also:farm See also:rent the town might improve.

grant, however, does not appear to have been made until 1346. Besides this charter Edward III. also granted the burgesses the See also:privilege of electing a mayor and bailiffs every See also:year. At that See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

The burgesses returned two members to See also:parliament in 1295, and from 1547 to 1832 when the borough was disfranchised.
