- The Confederation of Cinque Ports (/s??k p??rts/[1]) is a historic series of coastal towns in Kent and Sussex.[2] It was originally formed for military and trade purposes, but is now entirely ceremonial. It lies at the eastern end of the English Channel, where the crossing to the continent is narrowest. The name is Norman French, meaning "five ports". They were:
Hastings
New Romney
Hythe
Dover
Sandwich
However, Rye, originally a subsidiary of New Romney, changed to become one of the Cinque Ports once New Romney was damaged by storms and silted up.
Other towns also contribute to the confederation, including two Antient (see e.g.[3]) Towns, and seven Limbs.

| Notes |
- Robert de Burghersh, 1st Baron Burghersh, was born between 1252 and 1256, at Burghersh, in Sussex, England, and died in 1306.
He married Maud de Badlesmere (born between 1260 and 1270; died 1306), of Kent, England, the daughter of Gunselm de Badlesmere, Justiciar of Kent, around 1282.
Lord Burghersh was the son and heir of Reynold de Burghersh, and was Constable of Dover Castle, and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports from 1299 until his death. He was summoned to Parliament from 12 November 1303 until 13 July 1305, 'whereby he is held to have become Lord Burghersh'.
He had at least three children with Maud:
Stephen de Burghersh (d. 1310), who succeeded him
Henry de Burghersh, Bishop of Lincoln
Bartholomew de Burghersh, later created Baron Burghersh in his own right. [2]
