At Maldon (Maelduna, Melduna, Mealdon or Mealdon) See also:palaeolithic, See also:neolithic and Roman remains that have been found seem to indicate an early See also:settlement. It is not, however, an important Roman site. An earthwork, of which traces exist, may be Saxon or Danish. The Anglo-Saxon See also:Chronicle relates that See also:Edward the See also:Elder established a " burh " there about 921, and that Ealdorman Brihtnoth was killed there by the Danes in 991. The position of Maldon may have given it some commercial importance, but the fortress is the point emphasized by the Chronicle. Maldon remained a royal town up to the reign of Henry I., and thus is entered as on terra regis in Domesday. Henry II. granted the burgesses their first See also:charter, probably in 1155, giving them the See also:land of the borough and suburb with See also:sac and See also:soc and other judicial rights, also freedom from See also:county and See also:forest See also:jurisdiction, See also:danegeld, See also:scutage, See also:tallage and all tolls, by the service of one See also:ship a See also:year for See also:forty days. This charter was confirmed by Edward I. in 1290, by Edward III. in 1344, and by See also:Richard II. in 1378. In 14o3 the See also:bishop of London granted further judicial and See also:financial rights, and Henry V. See also:con-firmed the charters in 1417, Henry VI. in 5443, and Henry VIII. in 1525.
