Comment
Date: Issued while Richard was earl, i.e. after his creation as such by King Richard between his accession and departure for the Holy Land in December 1189, but before Michaelmas 1191 when he was apparently dead (below, Appendix 1, no. 22). This charter is generally regarded as founding the borough which was yielding L13 in rents by 1223-4 (PRS, NS xliv, 1982, pp 28, 39)Charter on the DEEDS-homepage: http://deeds.library.utoronto.ca/charters/00790066
