Richard III's Coat of Arms in St Michael's tower. Richard III was popular in Gloucester, he look upon Gloucester favourably saying it was 'because of the special affection which we bear towards the said town of Gloucester'. He treated the town (became a city in 1541) favourably, towns had to pay a large fee for their charters, Gloucester did not. Richard went on to say that Gloucester only had to pay a third of its annual tax due to the Exchequer. Richard III also created Gloucester as a county in its own right.
