[Contents of] The TEMPORAL GOVERNMENT. [the Charters.]355

[Contents of] The TEMPORAL GOVERNMENT. [the Charters.]

Anno 1392, King Richard II. took Ill Will to the Citizens, because they would not lend him 1000l. Finding therefore somewhat to charge them with, he imprisoned the Maior with the Aldermen, and took from them their Privileges: which afterwards they redeemed at 10000l. and besides gave him other 10000l. for his Entrance into the City, with many other Jewels, as a Crown, then presented to him, and another to his Queen.

For a Conclusion of this Chapter of the Charters of London, I shall only add the Contents of them Alphabetically, by way of Repertory, as they may be found in the printed Book, intituled, The Great Charter of Confirmation of King Charles II. according to the Page. Where all the Charters are rehearsed, and avouched to be taken out of the Records, and translated into English by S. G. Which Book is dedicated to Sir Robert Clayton, then Maior, as was mentioned before.
