Title A name given to the resource Charter Of James I, 11th April 1609, Creating Kilkenny A City And Granting Various Other Rights And Privileges Subject The topic of the resource Charter of James I, creating a hightown, alias Englishtown and the Irishtown one entire city by the name of the City of Kilkenny, and creating a new body corporate by the name of the Mayor and Citizens of the City of Kilkenny. Description An account of the resource The city charter of 1609 consists of five skins, with a clearly written Latin text in black ink. In contrast with the vivid colours of the 1608 charter, the opening initial and first line appear in plain black and white. There is a portrait of James I placed within the fine strapwork initial letter 'J'. He is portrayed as being seated, wearing a hat and he holds an orb and sceptre. The lion of England and unicorn of Scotland are also shown holding their respective national banners, also drawn in black and white. The top of the page has a floral scroll and the first skin is somewhat work and torn along the folds. The charter concerns the duties, powers and responsibilities of the new body known as 'the mayor and citizens of Kilkenny'. It also notes how a new county, known as the county of the city of Kilkenny was created. The united boroughs of Irishtown and kilkenny together with the parishes of St. Canice's, St. Mary's, St. Patrick's, and St. John's were made into a county, distinct from the county of Kilkenny, which was to be known as the county of the city of Kilkenny. A new series of officers had to be appointed to supervise and regulate it's workings. Permission was granted to hold three weekly markets, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays, together with the court of pye-power, as well as three annual fairs to be held for three days each, centred on the feast of St. Canice (11th October), St. Patrick ( 17th March) and St. John the Baptist ( 24 June) A society of the merchant staple was established which was to have the same rights as the similar staples in Dubln and Waterford. Edward Shee was appointed mayor of the staple of the city of Kilkenny, while John Roth Fitz Pierce and James Bryan, were to be its constables.

Title A name given to the resource Charter Of James I, 16th October 1608, Granting Various Rights And Privileges To Kilkenny Subject The topic of the resource Charter of James I, granting various rights and privileges to the inhabitants of Kilkenny, who "from time to time have rendered many laudable services to the crown of England, as well by retaining English laws, languages and customs, when the whole circumjacent country was entirely lapsed into Irish barbarism' , and creating a new body corporate to be known by the name of the 'sovereign, Free Burgesses and Commons of the town of Borough of Kilkenny. Description An account of the resource Visually, this is one of the most attractive charters in the collection. It consists of three skins covered with a tightly written latin text in dark ink. The opening sentence is beautifully illustrated and shows the king enthroned, holding a sword and and sceptre, with the words 'In my defense God defend me' placed below. There are three coat of arms, separated by the rose of England and the thistle of Scotland, flanked by the banners of England , supported by a lion, and of scotland, supported by a unicorn. The charter is carefully set out with a series of clauses relating to the government of the town, the operation of the guilds, the urban courts and prison, the regulation of the markets and the ownership of communal property. Regarding the government of the town, the charter states that it should be governed by a common council consisting of eighteen ' chief burgesses' of whom the sovereign was to be one. Fourteen of these individuals are named: Thomas Ley, sovereign, Robert Rooth, Arthur Shee, Richard Ragget, Elias Shee, Henry Shee, Thomas Archer, Patrick Archer, Luke Shee, Edward Rooth, John Rooth FitzPierce, Nicholas Langton, Edward Shee and Walter Lawless. This was presumably the existing council of the day and their names reflect their seniority of election. One may notice that the spelling of 'Rooth' provides clear evidence of how the name 'Rothe' was pronounced in Kilkenny in the early seventeenth century.
