Poole is first mentioned in a See also:writ of 1224, addressed to the bailiffs and See also:good men of La Pole, ordering them to retain all See also:ships within their See also:port. Entries in the Patent Rolls show that Poole had considerable trade before William de Longespee, earl of Salisbury, granted the burgesses a See also:charter about 1248 assuring to them all liberties and See also:free customs within his borough. The See also:bailiff was to be chosen by the See also:lord from six men elected by the burgesses, and was to hold pleas for See also:breach of See also:measures and assizes. It is uncertain when the burgesses obtained their town at the See also:fee-See also:farm See also:rent of L8, 13s. 4d. mentioned in, 1312. The mayor, bailiffs and good men are first mentioned in 1311 and were required to provide two ships for service against See also:Robert de Brus. In 1372 the burgesses obtained See also:assize of See also:bread and See also:ale, and right to hold the courts of the lord of the manor, the prepositus being styled his mayor. The burgesses were licensed in 1433 to fortify the town; this was renewed in 1462, when the mayor was given cognisance of the See also:staple. See also:Elizabeth incorporated Poole in 1569 and made it a See also:separate county; Charles II. gave a charter in 1667. The See also:corporation was suspended after a writ of quo warranto in 1686, the town being governed by the See also:commission of the See also:peace until the charters were renewed in 1688. Poole returned two members to See also:parliament in 1362 and 1368, and regularly from 1452 to 1867, when the See also:representation was reduced, ceasing in 1885.
