Comments
the twin problems of danger from the land and sea are referred to, and possibly exaggerated, in subsequent petitions for help (Lydon 1979). That these were not to be taken at face value is shown by the 1399 report to Council which stated that, despite many grants, 'little is done' to improve the city's defences (IHD 68). (Thomas)
