William the Conqueror granting a charter to the City of London in 1067. From an Illustration Cassell's History of England, pub 1912 after the wall fresco painting in the Royal Exchange by John Seymour Lucas (1849–1923) Info from cityoflondon.gov.uk:The City of London is the oldest continuous municipal democracy in the world and predates Parliament. Its constitution is rooted in the ancient rights and privileges enjoyed by citizens before the Norman Conquest in 1066. The City of London developed a unique form of government which led to the system of parliamentary government at local and national level. That London enjoyed certain freedoms and had a form of civic administration before the Norman conquest, can be seen in the Charter granted by William the Conqueror in 1067, in which he promised to recognise the rights, privileges and laws that the City had enjoyed since the time of Edward the Confessor (1042-62).
