The York 1 Line
Three freemen of York – could they be from the same family?
|
|
Three John Farndales, who may have been father, son and grandson, who were all made freemen of York.
The Freedom of the City can be obtained in three different ways. First, by servitude; that is when the applicant has served his full time as an apprentice in his trade before he can be enrolled. Second, is by patrimony; that is when the children of a Freeman claim their freedom as their heritage. Third, is by redemption; that is by the order of the Mayor and Court of Aldermen, which means that the Freedom is given without payment and as a reward for services rendered to the City. Fees have varied from time to time. In the very earliest Chamberlains account books the charge for those who had served their apprenticeship was 3s 4d or 6s 8d but there are cases when only 20d was charged. In cases of poverty no charge was made. Each Freeman had to take the ‘Oath of Fealty.’
No person could carry on a trade in the City without first obtaining his Freedom.
Many sons took their father’s names.
The ‘de’ was dropped during the reign of Henry IV (1399- 1412). We do not know into which category John or his son fell.
