Three John Farndales, who may have
been father, son and great 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).
