What did a town charter granted by a king or lord give a town?

  1. Rights such as holding a market and managing its own affairsRichtige Antwort
  2. A written rule book for one craft and its workshops
  3. The same terms as Magna Carta, granted to every town alike
  4. Ownership of all the farmland in the surrounding countryside

Erklärung

A charter turned a settlement into a legally distinct community, allowing it to hold a market on fixed days and to run its own courts and finances instead of depending entirely on a lord's officers. The comparison with a single famous English grant fails because charters were local documents whose terms differed from town to town rather than one uniform text applied everywhere.
