Peter Baudrat, surrendered it to the See also:crown in 1315–1316 when the king became See also:lord of one moiety of the borough, hence-forth known as Lyme Regis. Lyme ranked as a See also:port in 1234, and See also:Edward I. in 1284 granted to the town a See also:charter making it a See also:free borough, with a See also:merchant gild, and in the same year the mayor and bailiffs are mentioned. In the following See also:January the bailiffs were given freedom from See also:pleading without the borough, freedom from See also:toll and privileges implying considerable See also:foreign trade; the importance of the port is also evident from the demand of two See also:ships for the king's service in 1311. In 1332–1333 Edward III. granted Lyme to the burgesses at a See also:fee-See also:farm of 32 marks; on the See also:petition of the inhabitants, who were impoverished by tempests and high tides, this was reduced to See also:loo shillings in 1410 and to 5 marks in 1481.

The borough was disfranchised in 1867. The fairs granted in 1553 for the 1st of See also:February and the loth of See also:September are now held on altered See also:dates. Trade with See also:France in See also:wine and See also:cloth was carried on as See also:early as 1284, but was probably much increased on the erection of the Cobb, first mentioned in 1328 as built of See also:timber and See also:rock. Its See also:medieval importance as the only shelter between See also:Portland Roads and the See also:river Exe caused the burgesses to receive grants of quayage for its See also:maintenance in 1335 and many subsequent years, while its convenience probably did much to bring upon Lyme the unsuccessful See also:siege by See also:Prince See also:Maurice in 1644. In 1685 Lyme was the See also:scene of the landing of James, See also:duke of See also:Monmouth, in his See also:attempt upon the See also:throne.
