Burghers are important men who aren't nobel or clergy. They gave themselves as hostages to the English to stop the beatings in Calais.

    My dear Abey,
    You never fail to amaze me. The "Burghers of Calais" has always been a favorite of mine but I didn't know the historical context. Thanks for the heads up. Looking forward to our next conversation.
    Your loving G'ma
