Townspeople were able to win rights through collective action and organizing themselves to challenge oppressive systems or authorities. By uniting together and advocating for their rights, they were able to bring about social and political changes that recognized their needs and interests. This often involved protests, strikes, and other forms of resistance to push for greater equality and recognition of their rights.

The English Parliament was able to win new rights because monarchs needed its approval to levy new taxes. The first Parliament was called by Edward I in 1295 because he needed money for a war in France. Among the rights later won by Parliament was the right to pass laws on matters other than taxation.
They were given the rights to buy and sell property, freedom from military service to the lords, a written law that guaranteed the freedom of the townspeople, and the right for an escaped to become free after living a year and a day in the town.
The townspeople did not demand anything from the local lords during the Roman empire. Although there were powerful local people, there were no local lords. Perhaps you are getting confused with the situation which existed in the Middle Ages.
