In the Middle Ages, no minstrel or musician could ply his trade in the County Palatine of Chester without a licence from the Dutton family. A special licensing court was held in Chester each year on the Feast of St John the Baptist. The last such court was held in 1756.

(A County Palatine was, in effect, a separate state from England with its own local courts and customs. There were no extradition treaties, so if you committed a crime in (say) Staffordshire and fled into Cheshire, the Staffordshire people could not touch you. Medieval Cheshire was a bit like the Wild West.)
