The Sieges of Hull
In addition to actions during the Pilgrimage of Grace, and English Civil war, the town is said to have been briefly besieged around 1392 by enraged villagers from Cottingham and Anlaby, who objected to the construction of waterways from sources near their villages to supply Hull with fresh water.
