Barons of the Cinque Ports
The Cinque Ports Confederation is a historic group of coastal towns in south-east England, predominantly in Kent and Sussex. Originally established for military and trade purposes, the confederation is now purely ceremonial.
The name is Old French and means five ports, referring to the five original members – Hastings, New Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich.
At its peak in the Middle Ages, the confederation included more than 40 members. But now there are only 14 members – five “main ports”, two “ancient cities” and seven “extremities”.
All port freemen were considered barons in the age of feudalism and had the right to participate in the royal parliament.
The title of Baron of the Cinque Ports is now reserved for freemen elected by the mayor, jurats, and common council of the ports to attend the coronation, and is purely honorary in nature.
