This is in reference to the Town's corporate membership of the Confederation of Cinque Ports as a limb (associated port) of Dover. This suggests that in return for the town’s services to the King, he granted it the privilege of using his Royal arms, without variation, as its own. Because there was no Royal Navy until the 16th century, the terms of its membership to the Confederation of Cinque Ports meant that Faversham would provide ships and crew when required for the defence of the realm, in return it would be considered out of the jurisdiction of the County of Kent and enjoy the many privileges that came with it. In 1933 it was noted by a heraldry expert that no grant of arms to the then Borough of Faversham had survived in any official record held. This is hardly surprising since the records do not go back the the 13th century! However, he did cite a 1619 source that suggested that the three lions' hindquarters should be in silver, not gold. this prevailed until Faversham Town Council sought a resolution to their claim that they were entitled to "bear Royal Arms of England". The outcome was that in 1990 the College of Arms confirmed that indeed, when surrounded by it's proud Latin inscription, (see above) the Royal Arms of England, with 3 gold lions could remain in use.](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Arms_of_Faversham_Town_Council.png)
