This Portsoken, which
soundeth the Franchise at the gate, was
sometime a Guild,
the dayes of King Edgar, more than six
hundred yeeres since. There were then
13. Knights or Souldiers, well belo
ved to the King and Realme, for servi
ces by them done, who requested to
have a certaine portion of Land on the
East part of the Citie, being left deso
late and forsaken by the Inhabitants, by
reason of too much servitude. They be
sought the King to have this Land, with
the liberty of a Guild for ever. The King
granted to their request, with conditi
ons following; to wit, That each of
them should victoriously accomplish
three Combates; one above the ground,
one under ground, and the third in the
water.

and had beginning in
the dayes of King Edgar, more than six

13. Knights or Souldiers, well belo

them should victoriously accomplish
three Combates; one above the ground,
one under ground, and the third in the
water.
And after this, at a certaine day in
East Smithfield, they should runne with
Speares against all commers; all which
was gloriously performed; and the same
day the King named it Knighten Guild,
and so bounded it, from Ealdgate, to the
place where the barres now are toward
the East, on both the sides of the street,
and extended it towards Bishopsgate in
the North, unto the house then of Willi
am Presbyter, afterward of Geffrey Tan
ner, and then of the heires of Clover;
after that, of Iohn Easeby: but since of the
Lord Bourchier, &c. And againe, to
wards the South, unto the River of
Thames, and so farre into the water, as a
Horseman entring the same, might ride
at a low water, and throw his Speare.
So that all East Smithfield, with the
right part of the street that goeth to
Dodding Pond, into the Thames, and al
so the Hospitall of Saint Katharine, with
the Mils, that were founded in King
Stephens dayes, and the outward stone
wall, and the new ditch of the Tower,
were of the said Fee and Liberty: for
the said wall and ditch of the Tower,
were made in the time of King Richard
the first, when he was in the holy Land,
by William Longshampe, Bishop of Ely,
as before I have noted unto you.

the Citie was delighted in beholding

And the better to confirme this their

Wiltshire, and Vpchurch in Kent, &c.
Queene Philip, wife to King Edward the
third, 1351. founded a Chauntry there,
and gave to that Hospitall tenne pound
land by yeere; it was of late time cal
led a free Chappell, a Colledge, and an
Hospitall for poore sisters. The Quire,
which (of late yeeres) was not much in

by Doctor Wilson, a late Master there,
the brethren and sisters remaining. This
house was valued at 315. l. 14. s. 2. d.
being now of late yeeres inclosed about
or pestered with small Tenements, and
homely cottages, having inhabitants
English and Strangers, more in number

by the ayd of divers devout Citizens to

Elsing, sonne of William Elsing, gave five
pounds thereunto: and the same was
dedicated by Ralfe Stratford, Bishop of
London, where innumerable bodies of
the dead were afterward buried, and a
Chappell built in the same place, to the
honour of God: to the which King Ed

Over against this mudde wall, on the
other side of the street, was a faire field,
sometime belonging to the Priory of
the Trinity, and since, by Sir Tho. Awd
ley, given to Magdalen Colledge in Cam
bridge. This field (as all other about the
Citie) was inclosed, reserving open
passage thereinto, for such as were dis

small Cottages, of two stories high, and
little Garden-plots backward, for poore

the holy Trinity, to whom that ground

About the latter end of the reigne of

Portsoken Ward
Portsoken Ward is east of Tower Street Ward and Aldgate Ward and is located outside the Wall. This ward was once called Knighten Guild, so named because the land which it encompasses was originally given to thirteen knights or soldiers who were the first members of the Knighten Guild, an order of chivalry founded by Edgar the Peaceful for valuable knights in his service. As the OED notes,portsoken
refers tothe district outside a city or borough, over which its jurisdiction extends
(OED portsoken, 1). It follows that this ward, one of the twenty-six wards of London and located outside of the Wall, was later known as Portsoken Ward.Portsoken Ward is mentioned in the following documents:

Aldgate
Aldgate was the easternmost gate into the walled city. The nameAldgate
is thought to come from one of four sources: Æst geat meaningEastern gate

oropen to all,
or Aeldgate meaningold gate
(Bebbington 20–21).Aldgate is mentioned in the following documents:

The Thames
Perhaps more than any other geophysical feature, the Thames river has directly affected London’s growth and rise to prominence; historically, the city’s economic, political, and military importance was dependent on its riverine location. As a tidal river, connected to the North Sea, the Thames allowed for transportation to and from the outside world; and, as the longest river in England, bordering on nine counties, it linked London to the country’s interior. Indeed, without the Thames, London would not exist as one of Europe’s most influential cities. The Thames, however, is notable for its dichotomous nature: it is both a natural phenomenon and a cultural construct; it lives in geological time but has been the measure of human history; and the city was built around the river, but the river has been reshaped by the city and its inhabitants.The Thames is mentioned in the following documents:
