Synopsis
This book presents a series of charters and letters patent granted to the borough of Colchester by successive English monarchs from King Richard I in 1189 to King George III in 1763. These documents provide a fascinating insight into the development of the town over a period of nearly 600 years. They trace the gradual extension of the borough's boundaries, the growth of its liberties and privileges, and the evolution of its local government. The author has carefully transcribed and translated the original Latin texts, and provides detailed annotations and commentary. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Colchester or in the broader history of English local government. It will also be of interest to scholars of medieval and early modern law.
