| Итог: | A royal prerogative, the granting of market rights allowed a lord to organize a market once or several times per week in the town for which he had made the request. It then fell to the lord to choose a location for the event, and, if necessary, to equip it with permanent or temporary infrastructures enabling him to levy duties and regulate trading activities.
