		Typically rotten boroughs were boroughs which once had been flourishing cities with remarkable population, but which had deteriorated, declined and deserted during the centuries (see ghost town).
		In addition, there were boroughs where parliamentary representation was in the control of one or more 'patrons' by their power to either nominate or other machinations, such as burgage.
		The pocket boroughs were seen (particularly by their owners) in the early 19th century as a valuable method of ensuring the representation of the landed interest in the House of Commons.
