Codex entry
At the head of the town was the Bailiff appointed by the monarch (the role was hereditary), and the City Council, consisting of aldermen (councillors). The Council was chaired by the Bürgermeister or Subcamerarious (Deputy Chamberlain). The aldermen were mostly wealthy townspeople and their tenure in the function varied with the status of the town, whether royal, signorial or free
The Council decided on the most important topics relating to the town and its inhabitants. Court hearings, conferences, dossiers, deeds of sale or donations of property, registers, contracts and other documents were written up and kept at the Town Hall.
