Henry II. and, confirmed later by his widow, Hawise. Petersfield is not mentioned in Domesday, but it was probably then included in the See also:manor of Mapledurham. It was a See also:mesne borough possessing by its first charter the liberties and customs of See also:Winchester together with a See also:merchant gild. These grants were confirmed by See also:John in 1198 and in 1415 Henry V. in addition freed the burgesses from all tolls. No charter of See also:incorporation has been found. Gradually privileges and rights other than those of a mesne borough were usurped by the See also:mayor and burgesses, but were recovered by a suit brought against them by See also:- THOMAS

Thomas Hanbury, owner of the borough, in 1611. A mayor continued to be elected until 1885. Petersfield was represented in See also:parliament in. 1307. No return was then made until 1552-1553, from which date two members were regularly returned. In 1832 the number was reduced to one, and in 1885 the See also:representation was merged in that of the See also:county. Three-See also:day fairs at the feasts of St Peter and' St See also:Andrew were granted in 1255. In 1892 the summer See also:fair then held on the loth of See also:July was abolished. The autumn fair now held on the 6th of See also:October is for both business and See also:pleasure. The market, which See also:dates from before 1373, formerly held on Saturday, is now held on alternate Wednesdays. In the 16th See also:century Petersfield had important See also:cloth and See also:leather manufactures.
PETER'S PENCE, See also:ROME See also:SCOT, or ROM-FEOII, a tax of a See also:penny on every See also:hearth, formerly paid annually to the popes; now represented by a voluntary contribution made by the devout in See also:Roman See also:Catholic churches. Its date of origin is doubtful. The first written See also:evidence of it is contained in a See also:letter of Canute (1031) sent from Rome to the See also:English See also:clergy. At this 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. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

king of See also:Mercia (757—796) for the upkeep of the English school and See also:hostel at Rome. See also:Layamon, however, declares that Ina, king of Wessex (688-725), was the originator of the See also:idea. At the Norman See also:Conquest it appears to have fallen into arrears for a time, for William the Conqueror promised the See also:pope in 1076 that it should be regularly paid. By a See also:bull of Pope See also:Adrian IV. the tax was extended to See also:Ireland. In 1213 See also:Innocent III. complained that the bishops kept See also:i000 marks of it, only forwarding 300 to Rome. In 1306 See also:Clement V. exacted a penny from each See also:household instead of the £2oi, 9s. at which the tax appears to have been then fixed. The See also:threat of withholding Peter's pence proved more than once a useful weapon against recalcitrant popes in the hands of English See also:kings. Thus in 1366 and for some years after it was refused on the ground of the pope's obstinacy in withholding his consent to the See also:statute of See also:praemunire. During the loth century the See also:custom of Peter's pence was introduced into See also:Poland, See also:Prussia and Scandinavia, and in the 11th century See also:- GREGORY
