York first represented 1265?

What is the evidence that York was first represented at De Montfort's Parliament of 1265? I am aware that this was the first known Parliament to which borough representatives were summoned. It is very likely that York would have been amongst those boroughs involved. However I am not aware of a list of the boroughs prior to the Model Parliament of 1295, so usually the date of enfranchisement of the oldest parliamentary boroughs is taken to be 1295. --Gary J 07:48, 24 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boundaries

I added the acreage of each revised area, but now I've changed the 1997 figure, because I don't think the area had changed since 1983. Whereas 2946 ha (in the 1986 ref^[1] for 1983) is the total area including water, it's plausible that 2835 ha (in the 2001 ref^[2] for 1997) is the land area. SI 1995/610 footnote (5) says "For the limits of the existing wards of the city of York, see the City of York (Electoral Arrangements) Order 1976 (S.I. 1976/1968)" and IMO if there had been a change since 1983 there should have been a consequent revision to the 1976 wards. OTOH it's conceivable that

either there was a reduction of 111 ha and
- I simply failed to locate the relevant boundary change SI and
  - either the existing ward boundaries were unchanged, with the implicit proviso that any point removed from the district was ipso facto removed from the ward
  - or SI 1995/610 footnote (5) is incorrect
or the 2946 figure was always incorrect and the correct figure of 2835 was not discovered until after 1986
or I've misinterpreted any of the above
or something else

City of York
