Hartlepool is a North Sea port in North East England. It is within the unitary authority area of the Borough of Hartlepool, for ceremonial purposes part of County Durham. During the middle ages, the village grew and gained its Royal Charter in 1201 with markets and walls increasing the size of the old town. The town is famous for its monkey-hanging legend, whereon the fishermen of Hartlepool during the Napoleonic Wars in 1805 so fearful of an invasion, questioned and tortured a monkey, the ships mascot, dressed in French army uniform the only survivor from a French ship, which sank off the coast during a storm, apparently having no idea what a Frenchman looked like and believing it to be a spy.
