The commence of the fourteenth century appeared promising for the men and women of East Yorkshire. Kingston on Hull was provided a stone wall, with four main gates like 'Myton Gate'. This symbolised the standing that Hull was starting up to receive. Even the King recognised this and hence appointed the town with a steward. This was followed by Hull being granted a charter to give its occupants certain privileges, such as obtaining a Mayor. However, the first wave of the Black Death hit which killed about half of the population. Although Hull had been affected fairly badly by the plague, they were in a position to recover relatively, and by the finish of the 14th century three,500 people lived in Hull. Quite surprisingly, this was not the biggest town in its spot. Beverley had a more substantial population of 5,000 residents.
The two towns seemed to be carrying out nicely at the start off of the 15th Century. In the late years of the preceding century, Hull had a grammar school, and its paths had been paved (even though they would have probably been extremely dirty). The Lord of the Manor at Beverley, gave the men and women land on three sides of the town. The final one particular that was announced was the 'Westwood' in 1380. These lands were called pastures.
One particular of the most striking occasions in historical past was when Henry VIII grew to become King. He is most notorious for his a number of wives which would have been regarded socially unacceptable. The reason why he married so a lot of instances was due to his quest for a son, whom he believed would be a significantly far more worthy heir to the throne then a daughter. Henry commenced to grow impatient when his 1st wife Catherine of Aragon was unable to generate a son. When Anne Boleyn refused to turn into Henry's mistress as her sister just before her had accomplished, Henry had little selection but to marry her. On the other hand this was problematic. The Pope refused to annul the marriage in between Catherine of Aragon and Henry even even though the King claimed that it was against the biblical teachings that he married her in the very first area. This was since she was the widow of his elder brother. When the Pope did not accept this request, it led to an argument and Henry generating the determination to pull the Church of England away from the Catholic Church.
Henry VIII is crucial to the history of Hull due to the fact in 1536 a rebellion in Yorkshire formed named the 'pilgrimage of grace' which protested against Henry's break from the Roman Catholic Church. At very first the town's council have been able to resist the rebels, even so eventually the town was besieged and the protestors were allowed to enter the town. In order to calm them down, the King created promises that he did not maintain. Even though Henry made some improvements to Hull, such as building much more superior town defences, Henry also closed the monasteries and friaries in Hull.
Beverley wasn't carrying out too effectively both in the 16th Century, the central tower of St Mary's church collapsed in 1520, and killed many men and women. Henry was also quite influential to the demise of the town when he closed the friaries and hospitals. The town was quite significantly in poverty, and it did not aid that there was difficult competition coming from towns in West Yorkshire such as Bradford and Sheffield. 1 author in 1599 stated that Beverley had turn out to be 'very bad and significantly depopulated'.
