Cinque Ports
Cinque Ports [quinque prtus, Lat.], certain anciently enfranchised havens, lying on the coast towards France. In the time of Edward the Confessor there were only there ports, viz., Dover, Sandwich, and Rommey; but in the time of William the Conqueror Hastings and Hythe were added, making five, whence the name Cinque Ports. Winchelsea and Rye were afterwards added by or before the accession of King John, but the old name, though now become inappropriate, was still retained.

The office of Lord Warden is still one of great dignity, and is always held by some person of eminence....
