== Commoners == 

 So as not to create the wrong impression, I think it should be made clear somewhere in the article that what the City of London means by "Commoner" is not the same as the dictionary definition and widely known meaning of "commoner". Commoner (particularly in the UK) is usually taken to mean somebody from a low social class background (the term presumably deriving from the commoners who worked Common Land). The Cambridge Dictionary gives the following definition for the word: 
 "Commoner - a person who is not born into a position of high social rank" 

 However the City of London appears to mean pretty much the exact opposite when it says "commoner". The term in this context appears to derive from the fact that the City of London Corporation was originally known as a "commune" and thus citizens of the "commune" are called "commoners". As the City of London says: 
 "The commune may have been the origins of the development of another element of local governance. Gradually, Aldermen began to summon "wise and discreet" citizens from their wards to their meetings for consultation on particular matters. In 1285, a group of 40 citizens, between one and four from each Ward, was to consult with the Aldermen on the common affairs of the City. From 1376, this assembly had regular meetings and was known as the Common Council. It gradually assumed greater responsibilities and the business of the Court of Aldermen declined." 

 I think we need to put something into the article like: 
 "Commoner in the context used in this article is taken to mean a member of the Common Council, a citizen or landowner of the City of London. This differs from the commonly held understanding of what a commoner is."
