1 Jan 1572 Jahr - gangrel

Beschreibung:

In 1488 Edmond Mauleverer made several provisions for poor people in the Bramham area but excluded <i>euery gangrelle that goyth aboute</i> (YAJ16/224). In York in 1572, in the aftermath of rebellion, the movement of strangers was strictly controlled and <i>all vagabonds and valiant gangrells</i> were to be <i>stayed</i> and <i>straitely examined</i> (YRS115/44). In this sense ‘valiant’ meant able-bodied and the term ‘valiant beggar’ was synonymous with ‘sturdy beggar’, both of which had legal implications. In Skipton John Nicolson was referred to in the period 1682-5 as <i>a Foranner … a Gangerell Fellow</i>: his name suggests that he may have been from Scotland (PR).
