Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Liberty of london

👉 Liberty of London was a charter granted by King James I in 1689 to William, Duke of Cumberland, who wanted to establish himself as the English sovereigns' representative in Europe and America. The definition of "Liberty" in this context refers to the freedom from taxation or military service. However, it's important to note that the charter was never enforced, as it was later revoked by Parliament, and William Duke ended up imprisoned in the Tower of London for several years before eventually escaping and returning to England voluntarily.
