WHAT DOES CINQUE PORTS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Cinque Ports

The Confederation of Cinque Ports is a historic series of coastal towns in Kent and Sussex. 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 originates in Norman French, meaning "five ports". They are: ▪ Hastings ▪ New Romney ▪ Hythe ▪ Dover ▪ Sandwich Other towns also contribute to the confederation, including two Antient Towns, and seven Limbs.

Definition of Cinque Ports in the English dictionary

The definition of Cinque Ports in the dictionary is an association of ports on the SE coast of England, originally consisting of Hastings, Romney, Hythe, Dover, and Sandwich, which from late Anglo-Saxon times provided ships for the king's service in return for the profits of justice in their courts. The Cinque Ports declined with the growth of other ports and surrendered their charters in 1685.
