King John granted the town of Huntingdon its Royal Charter confirming it as a borough with the right to hold weekly markets.If you're interested in hearing what some authentic music from the 13th Century sounded like, Estampie have recorded a CD of songs and music associated with that other famous Huntingdon-related character,
Robin Hood, Earl of Huntingdon. Amazon allow free downloading of samples of some tracks, including Ja nuls homs pris by Richard Cœur de Lion, John's elder brother.
