Why is the title of this article Cinque Port instead of Cinque Ports? RickK 02:01 3 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Could we have a translation of the rights listed in the quotation, please? - Montréalais
Exemption from taxation and the right to levy tolls; the authority to detain and execute felons both inside and outside the Ports' jurisdiction; power to claim wreckage off the shore or goods thrown overboard; these were privileges granted to the Cinque ports, along with the right of assembly as a Guild, which gave the confederation the authority to act in such matters.
This is redundent, bring listed above in the translation, and awkwardly worded here to boot. Kd5mdk 13:01, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. I'll get it out right away. Renke 17:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Another thing puzzles me a bit: the charter is said to lead to piracy; yet it seems a pretty common city rights' charter to me. Do all city charters lead to piracy? Renke 17:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
