Henry VIII., who granted it to Edward, See also:earl of Lincoln, but it was recovered by the See also:Crown before 1562. Louth owed much of its See also:early prosperity to the adjacent Cistercian abbey of Louth Park, founded in 1139 by See also:Alexander bishop of Lincoln. The borough was never more than prescriptive, though burgesses were admitted throughout the See also:middle ages and until 1711, their See also:sole See also:privilege being freedom from tolls. The See also:medieval See also:government of the town was by the manor See also:court under the See also:presidency of the bishop's high steward, the See also:custom being for the See also:reeve to be elected by eighteen ex-See also:reeves. The See also:original See also:parish church was built about 1170. During the 13th and 14th centuries nine religious See also:gilds were founded in the town. Fear of See also:confiscation of the See also:property of these gilds seems to have been one of the See also:chief See also:local causes of the Lincolnshire See also:Rebellion, which See also:broke out here in 1536. The disturbance began by the parishioners seizing the church ornaments to prevent their surrender. • The bishop's steward, who arrived to open the manorial court for the See also:election of a reeve, agreed to ride to ask the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king the truth about the jewels, but this did not satisfy the See also:people, who, while showing respect to a royal See also:commission, seized and burnt the papers of the bishop's registrar. After See also:- SWEARING (O. Eng. swerian, to swear, originally to speak aloud, cf. andswerian, to answer, Ger. schworen, Dan. svaerge, &c., all from root sorer-, to make a sound, cf. " swarm," properly the buzzing of bees, Lat. susurrus)
swearing several See also:country gentlemen to their cause, the rebels dispersed, agreeing to meet on the following See also:day under arms. Edward VI. in 1551 incorporated Louth under one See also:warden and six assistants, who were to be managers of the school founded by the same See also:charter. This was confirmed in 1564 by See also:Elizabeth, who granted the manor of Louth to the See also:corporation with all rights and all the lands of the suppressed gilds at an See also:annual See also:fee-See also:farm See also:rent of 04. James I. gave the commission of the See also:peace to the warden and one assistant in 1605; a further charter was obtained in 1830. Louth has never been a parliamentary borough. The markets said to have been held from See also:ancient times and the three fairs on the third See also:Sunday after See also:Easter and the feasts of St See also:- MARTIN (Martinus)

Martin and St James were confirmed in 1551. Louth was a seat of the See also:wool See also:trade as early as 1297; the See also:modern manufactures seem to have arisen at the end of the 18th century, when, according to the charter of 1830, there was a great increase in the See also:population, manufactures, trade and See also:commerce of the town.
