Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
In origin Arundel was a manorial borough by ancient prescription. In 1586, as a result of a royal legal judgement or 'charter', the corporation obtained some independence from its manorial lord. The corporation was governed by a small number of burgesses varying from about 4 to 13 people. During the civil war and interregnum this oligarchy was dominated by a pro-commonwealth and presbyterian faction. This group introduced significant changes in town government, the most important of which was a change in the method ofselection of burgesses which was challenged in 1659. The presbyterian elite was removed in 1663 after the Corporation Act but returned to power following a disputed election in 1671. Following these disputes a second royal judgement in 1677 supported the conformist faction and removed the presbyterians from office. | ||||||||
