Excerpt from Calais Under English Rule There are, broadly, only two divisions of Calais life military and commercial. And even these are dependent on each other.

SO that Calais existed for commerce, and the garrison existed for the protection of commerce and Calais. Everything else was subsidiary either to the military or to the commercial organization. Thus, the Municipality only existed that there might be regulations for the housing, deportment, and safeguarding of the commerce pursuing inhabitants. Thus, the Church existed only that the rel'gious needs of the merchant might be met. SO it was with Justice. Thus, again, the Captain and the royal officers practically existed only that the garri son might be kept obedient, and might receive its wages, and that the Crown might receive its proper proportion of the commercial revenues of Calais.
