Bath

With an estimated population of 855 in 1377, Bath was smaller than its sister city of Wells and completely overshadowed by its neighbour, Bristol. A merchant guild had come into existence before Bath received its first royal charter in 1189. By 1230 a mayor had appeared. In 1256, a further charter gave the citizens the right of returning royal writs, of bequeathing their property by will, and of nominating coroners;J.C. Russell, Brit. Med. Pop. 142; Mun. Recs. Bath ed.

1399

There were two Parliaments summoned in 1399. As the first, called to Westminster in Richard II’s name, met on 30 Sept., the day after the King abdicated, it was regarded as a gathering of ’estates and people’ and used as the instrument of deposition. The other, summoned by Henry IV, met six days later, but with identical membership.
