Everything about City Rights totally explained
'City rights' redirects here. See also: municipal charter.
Town privileges were important features of
European
towns during most of the second millennium.
Judicially, a town was distinguished from the surrounding land by means of a
charter from the ruling
monarch that defined its
privileges and
laws. Common privileges were related to trading (to have a market, to store goods, etc) and the establishment of
guilds. Some of these privileges were permanent and could imply that the town obtained the right to be called a
city, hence the term
city rights. Some degree of
self-government, representation in a
diet, and tax-relief could also be granted.
