In 1462, a charter granted to the Irish borough of Youghal in County Cork made it "one of the Petylymmes [i.e. petty limbs] of the Cinque Ports in Ireland" with all associated liberties and franchises. [1] [2] [3] [4] William Gordon Perrin assumed in 1922 that this referred to the English Cinque Ports, because in 1462 the Lordship of Ireland was subordinate to the Kingdom of England. [2] On the other hand, George Bernard O'Connor stated in 1906 that the Queen's Cinque Ports of Ireland in the reign of Elizabeth I were the important seaports on the east coast of Ireland. [5]
The medieval seal of the corporation of Youghal displayed a single-masted ship ( cog), reflecting its importance as a port; [7] [8] while Helen Elrington suggests the seal specifically alludes to the town's Cinque-Port connection, [8] Samuel Hayman dates the seal to Thomas de Clare in the 1270s. [7]
Edward IV. made Youghal one of the petty limbs of the Cinque ports, in memory of which the municipal seal of the town bears a ship.
