Talk - The Hull Charters - by Martin Taylor
Heritage Open Day: On 1 April 1299 King Edward I – who had recently acquired the settlement of Myton at the mouth of the River Hull – granted his new acquisition the status of a Borough with the name Kingston upon Hull. Over the following centuries successive monarchs issued further charters, confirming existing rights and privileges, and granting new ones. The charters were often a response to outside economic, military and political influences.
It was by these royal grants that Hull built walls, established the office of mayor, and came to be governed by an oligarchy of merchants.
Nearly all of these charters Hull’s relationship with the Crown is often typified by the episode in 1642 when King Charles I was turned away from Beverley Gate.
