Relating to a burgh, town, or its citizens; of or characteristic of urban or municipal affairs.
From 'burgh' plus the adjective suffix '-al', creating a formal term for things relating to towns and their governance.
When historical documents say 'burghal rights' or 'burghal courts,' they're describing a medieval town's legal independence—it meant the townspeople didn't have to obey the local lord's rules.
