INTRODUCTION.

A VERY complete and interesting picture of agricultural life in
England during the latter part of the thirteenth century, a period
at which the manorial system, introduced under the Saxon rule,
had in its principal features apparently undergone little change,
may be obtained by a careful study of the records of that date
bearing on the subject of customary tenures.
First and foremost- amongst these in importance and accuracy of
detail may be ranked the Inquisitiones Hundredorum, or Hundred
Rolls of 7 and 8 Edward I., in which are set out with marvellous
minuteness the names of all owners and occupiers of land, the
quantities they held, and the rents and services rendered to them
by their under-tenants of every rank or degree. These rolls, how
ever, are extant for five counties only: those of Bedford, Bucking
ham, Cambridge, Huntingdon, and Oxford; and for similar infor
mation respecting the remaining counties of England recourse must
be had chiefly to the invaluable series of monastic chartularies and
ledger books.
Few of these can, I think, be richer in minute details respecting
the amount and value of the work exacted by the lord of the manor
from his tenants, the conditions under which it was to be performed,
CAMD. see. a

11 INTRODUCTION.
and the quantity, nature, and pecuniary value of the recompense in
food or otherwise, to which the tenants were frequently entitled,
than the Records of Battle Abbey reproduced in the present
volume, in which several of the southern and south-eastern counties
are represented.
In date they are almost contemporaneous with the Hundred Rolls
before mentioned, and it is not altogether improbable that they owe
their compilation to the example afforded by the Royal Commission
on which those rolls were founded. The frequent repetition therein
of the phrase " ut dicunt " points, moreover, to the fact that they
represent the result of a careful investigation made by direction of
the monastic authorities on the testimony of the tenants themselves.
The volume from which they have been transcribed is a small
quarto, entitled "Liber Regius de Bello," containing 110 parch
ment leaves or folios, and forming vol. 57 of the Miscellaneous
Books formerly belonging to the Augmentation Office.
It is made up of several portions or fragments which have at
some time been brought together, probably with the view of form
ing a complete custumal of the possessions of the abbey, but without
any order or arrangement.
The main body of the volume (fols. 23-66 inclusive) consists of
Rentals and Custumals of several Manors, most of which are
without date but in the handwriting of the earlier portion of the
reign of Edward I., slightly rubricated.
These appear to have formed portions of a complete custumal,
part of which, however, seems to have been wanting at a very
early period, the defect being to some extent supplied by the
insertion of several folios of a smaller copy of the same custumal,
evidently the original or draft from which the rubricated copy was
transcribed. Thus, on folio 42 of the MS. the "Rents and Services
of the Manor of Bromeham " break ofF suddenly with the note, in

INTKODUCTION. Ill
an almost contemporaneous hand, " Quaere in alio parvo quaterno,"
the following folios, numbered 43 to 54, belonging to the "Parvus
Quaternus " indicated by the note, and containing, in addition to
the missing portion of the Rents and Services of Bromeham,
duplicates of several of the other custumals. Two of these, relating
to the Manors of Hoton and Brithwolton respectively, are dated
in the twelfth year of Edward I., which may therefore be fairly
assumed to have been the date, approximately, both of the original
and rubricated copies.
This portion of the manuscript includes Rentals and Custumals
of the following Manors, all of which are printed in the present
volume, as far as possible from the portions of the rubricated
custumal, those marked * appearing also in the draft or smaller
copy; Alsiston, CO. Sussex,
Dengemarsh, co. Kent,
Apledreham, co. Sussex,
* Brithwolton, co. Berks,
* Bromeham, co. Wilts (a portion in each copy),
* Anesty, co. Hants,
* Crowmarsh, co. Oxon,
* Hoton, CO. Essex,
Wye, CO. Kent.
The remainder of the volume is made up as follows :
Fols. 1-22. Transcripts in the handwriting of Edward III. of
several Rentals, &c., which apparently belong to a much
earlier period. These include :
Imperfect Rentals of several boroughs within the Hun
dred of Battle.
An imperfect Rental and Custumal of the Manor of Merle
or Marley, co. Sussex, belonging apparently to the reign of

IV INTRODUCTION.
Edward I. ; and an Extent and Custumal of the Manor of
Bernehorne, co. Sussex, dated 35 Edward I.
Fols. 67-72. An Extent and Custumal of the Manors of Limps-
field and Brodeham, co. Surrey, dated 5 Edward II. (An
imperfect copy of this extent appears in a later portion of
the volume.)
Fols. 76-85. Rentals of the Manors of Limpsfield and Anesty,
dated 15 and 24 Edward [HI.] respectively.
Fols. 86-110. An Extent of the Manor of Hoton, and imper
fect Extents of the Manors of Limpsfield and Brodeham,
and of Wye, all of which belong to the fifth year of Edward
II.
On the blank pages of the earlier portions of the MS. have been
entered brief abstracts of Rentals and other memoranda of various
dates, some of which are as late as the reign of Richard IL, and
many of the Rentals and Custumals tliroughout the volume have
been corrected in later hands by the insertion of the names of new
tenants and other alterations.
From the later portions of the manuscript the following docu
ments have been selected for publication, so as to reconstruct as
far as possible a complete Custumal of the possessions of the Abbey,
at the same time avoiding any unnecessary repetition :
The Rental and Custumal of
Merle or Marley, co. Sussex,
and the Extents and Custumals of
Bernehorne, co. Sussex,
and
Limpsfield and Brodeham, co. Surrey.
The Rental of Wje has also been supplemented by an extract
relating to the customs of that manor selected from a small volume
of collections concerning Battle Abbey, belonging apparently to the

INTRODUCTION. V
reign of Henry III., and forming vol. 18 of the series of Miscel
laneous Books before referred to.
In the present volume the several Rentals and Custumals are
presented in the order in which they occur in the original manu
script, the various alterations and additions being indicated by
italics. An analysis of the several Custumals, &c., is subjoined, in which
the general character of the services rendered in each manor is
described in detail, with such notes and explanations of the text as
have been considered necessary.
The principal features of the manorial system as therein illus
trated may be briefiy summarized as follows — it being premised
that the manors under review being all subject to ecclesiastical
lordship, the more servile tenures would probably in them be less
liable to change or extinction than in manors owned by laymen,
whose necessities would render them more eager to commute agri
cultural services into money payments than the ecclesiastics, whilst
at the same time they would be less hampered by considerations
of the interests of their successors. This is well illustrated by a
comparison of the customary services detailed in the present volume
with those specified in a later Custumal of Battle Abbey (Aug. Off.
Misc. Boohs, vol. 56), compiled early in the reign of Henry YL,
or about 150 years afterwards, which in many instances exhibit
hardly any variation.
The manor itself appears to have consisted invariably of two
portions. (1.) The Demesne Lands, or lands reserved for the lord's own use
and cultivated to a certain extent by his own teams and servants.
(2.) The Assised Lands, or lands let out to tenants, either on
payment of rent alone or of rent in combination with certain ser
vices in cultivation of the demesne or otherwise.

VI INTRODUCTION.
The demesne lands generally included the woods and waste of
the manor, in which, however, the tenants had rights of pasture
under certain conditions. The cultivated portions of the demesne
did not always form a farm by themselves distinct and separate
from the lands of the tenants, but appear to have been frequently
intermixed with them and scattered in various fields and closes or
crofts. It is probable, however, that the lords of the manor
endeavoured from time to time, as favourable circumstances arose,
to consolidate the demesne by forming large enclosures.
In the Extent of Limenesfeld, for instance, part of the demesne
is described as consisting of " acrffi separales," lying in certain
fields called Horscroftes, whilst another portion, containing 140
acres, is stated to be " infra um^m clausum et procinctum " ; and
in the Manor of Merle most of the tenants were required to under
take a certain quantity of hedging called " Gavelmerke," which
probably separated the assised lands from those of the demesne.
The tenants consisted of four principal classes, all of whom were
required, proportionately to their holdings and condition, to assist,
either personally or by deputy, in the cultivation of the lord's
demesne. These were,
1. Liberi Tenentes.
2. Villani or Custumarii.
3. Cotta rii.
4. Coterelli and Coterl®,
The Liberi Tenentes, or " Libere Tenentes " as they are generally
called, were sometimes, as their name implies, absolute freeholders,
being at liberty to give up or transfer their holdings and to quit the
manor at pleasure, and subject to no control by the manorial lord.
In the manors under consideration they appear, however, to have
been almost all what may be termed " customary freeholders," who,
in addition to the performance of certain common services, were

INTKODUCTION. Vll
subject to the payment of heriots and reliefs on change of tenure,
and probably consisted of such villani as had been partially enfran
chised by the commutation of the greater part of their services into
rent. In many instances they were holders of comparatively small
quantities of land, probably such portions as were from time to time
severed from the demesne, or acquired by the assarting or reclama
tion of waste lands ; and it occasionally happens that a villanus or
customary tenant appears amongst the Liberi Tenentes as holding
such lands in addition to those held by him in villenage.
The Villani or Custumarii included all those tenants above the
rank of cottars who rendered common or villein services, and con
sisted of the '' nativi " or villeins born on the manor, with such
outside tenants or " forinseci " as held lands therein for which
customary services were due.
The Nativi were so far serfs that they could not quit the manor
against the lord's will, and were restricted from giving their
daughters in marriage beyond the liberty of the manor, or from
allowing their sons to become priests, and even from selling their
cattle without the lord's license, for by any of these acts his interests
might be prejudicially affected.
The tenants in villenage are variously designated according to
their holdings, in some manors the tenures being much smaller than
in others. Sometimes they are classified as Liberi and Nativi only,
the number of acres held by each being severally specified, whilst in
others the minor sub-divisions are noticed. In that of Bromeham,
for instance, the following distinctions are given : —
Liberi Tenentes.
Virgarii or Majores Erdlinges.
Minores Erdlinges.
Half-Erdlingns or Majores Cottarii.

VIII INTKODUCTION.
Minores Cottarii.
Cotterise.
The Cottarii were ranked apart from the customary tenants,
although they frequently rendered similar services, and were under
the same restrictions as the Nativi. As a general rule the Cottarius
held about four acres of land, though in some instances tenants ot
as much as fifteen acres are thus described.
The Coterellus was a smaller cottar who seldom held more than
one or two acres, whilst the Cotteria appears to have been a cottager
without land at all. It is probable that both these classes served as
labourers under the larger tenants.
The services to be rendered by the tenants were of four kinds.
1. Precarice, works done by special request or "ad precem."
2. Opera Diurna, daily works or " week-work," consisting of so
many days a week.
3. Averagia, or carrying services.
4. Occasional works, as in thrashing, mowing, sheep-shearing, &c.
The Precari^ were required at the seasons of ploughing and
harvest. There were two " Precarise Carucarum," one at the
Winter and one at the Lenten ploughing and sowing, to which all the
tenants who possessed any part of a team were generally summoned.
Each tenant was frequently bound to plough in addition one acre in
summer for lying fallow.
The harvest or autumnal Precarise were usually of three days'
duration; on the second day and also on the third, or " Magna Pre-
caria," an increased attendance being generally due. A fourth
Precaria was sometimes added called " Hungerbedrip," probably
because on that occasion food was always supplied by the lord.
In the Manor of Hoton the tenants say that at the close of the
third Precaria they were " soleinniter depasti," a phrase which
suggests the modern harvest-supper.

INTRODUCTION. IX
The Opera Diurna, or daily works, were as a rule required in
their full extent only from the Cottarii and minor tenants.
Occasionally, however, the Virgarii also performed partial work
of this kind, for which they generally received a reduction of rent.
Full week-work usually consisted of three days a week from
Michaelmas to the following August, and from August 1 to
Michaelmas, of five days a week, Saturday being always excepted.
In partial week-work the tenant worked only from morning till
noon, or from noon till evening during the foregoing period. From
the smaller cottars only one day's work a week appears to have
been required.
During the weeks of Easter, Pentecost, and Michaelmas daily
works were generally discontinued, except in cases of necessity.
The Averagia or services in carrying formed a very important
branch of the manorial customs, and must have pressed on the
tenants rather severely, as, in addition to the ordinary farming
operations, they were frequently called upon to undertake long
journeys from town to town, or from the outlying manors to the
Abbey with salt, herrings, corn, and other provisions.
In the Manor of Wye ten Averagia of corn and barley to Battle
were performed every Saturday, each consisting of half a seam or
four bushels of grain, the total amount carried consisting of 264
seams or 2112 bushels.
The Occasional services were of various kinds and degrees, con
sisting, inter alia, of an additional day's ploughing, generally called
" Graserthe '' or Graze-earth, one or two day's hoeing, mowing in
the lord's meadow and lifting and carrying the hay, reaping and
binding an additional acre at harvest-time, carting and spreading
¦manure, sheep-washing and shearing, thrashing, and various minor
services such as ditching, carrying the lord's sheepfold when
required, and gathering nuts, &c. &c.
CAMD. see. b

INTRODUCTION.

In addition to their rents and services various dues were also
rendered by the tenants in villenage, as of hens and eggs at
Christmas and Easter respectively, cherset or churchshot, hearth-
penny, Romescot, &c. &c., which are noticed more fully in the
Analysis. It would be foreign to the scope of the present Introduction to
attempt a comparison of the status of the English peasant of the
thirteenth century with that of his modern compeer, but a careful
perusal of the details now brought forward can, I think, hardly fail
to impress on the reader that his condition was not one of such
abject serfdom as is often supposed. The services which he was
bound to render to his lord were neither excessive in quantity nor
without a certain amount of recompense, especially in the matter of
food, the supply of which appears to have been on a most liberal
scale. In the case of some of tlie minor services the food is indeed
occasionally stated to be worth more than the work, and the lord
to be a loser in consequence. Those who filled the several offices
of praepositus or foreman, carucarius, shepherd, swineherd, &c., and
who were generally chosen by the lord of the manor from the
customary tenants, had due allowance made to them either in
reduced rental or in exemption from other services, in one instance
the lord even undertaking to plough for two of such officers a
certain number of acres with his own team whilst they were, it may
be supposed, occupied in his affairs. With the one exception of the
restrictions imposed on the personal liberty of most of the villein
tenants, the reasons for which are, however, obvious, the manorial
system appears in fact to have constituted originally a fair and
equitable scheme of co-operative industry, and to have maintained
that character to a great extent throughout its subsequent modifica
tions. If I have succeeded in placing the materials contained in the pre-

INTRODUCTION. XI
sent volume before the reader in a clear and intelligible form, the
task I have set myself will be accomplished, and I shall be content
to leave to other and abler hands the construction of the historical
edifice, for which I trust they will be thus rendered more easily
available. The much-abbreviated Latin of the original MS. has been, as far
as possible, extended in the transcript, and I venture to hope that,
with the aid of the glossary at the end of the volume, a mass of
interesting information will be thereby thrown open to the general
reader to whom the Latin of monkish scribes, in its original garb,
is often a comparatively unknown tongue.
A few errata, which have almost unavoidably crept into the text,
are noticed at the end of the Analysis, to which the attention of the
reader is now invited, in the hope that its perusal may be sufficiently
interesting to lead him to a closer study of the text than the limited
amount of time at my disposal has permitted. S. R, SCAKGILL-BlKD.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES.

Merle ob Makley, Co. Sussex. Pp. 1-16.
The Rental and Custumalof Merle is without heading or date and
appears to be a transcript, made about the reign of Edward III., of
a much earlier Custumal in which many corrections and additions
have been made by the insertion of the names of new tenants, &c.
In the present volume these alterations are indicated by being printed
in italics.
It commences with an account of the rents due from certain
tenements described as " Terra Bovis " (consisting apparently o^
lands, &c., formerly belonging to the fee of Walter de Bosuf, one
of the early benefactors of the Abbey), and from lands in the hands
of the Custos or Keeper of Merle, for the rent of which he is
responsible. Then follow the names and tenures of 16 tenants in villenage,
subsequently described as " Nativi," who hold between them 9^
wistas or virgates, the rents and services due from each being fully
described, as also those due from 3f wistas "devoluta" or fallen
in to the Manor, for which the Custos performs the services, and
from ^ wista " included in the new park of Bromeham."

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. xiii
The term " Wista" seems to be pecuhar to some of the Sussex
manors and is equivalent to the " Virgate " of other counties, as
appears from the following memorandum, in a somewhat later hand,
on folio 60 of the MS. :
"Nota quod virgata terrse et wysta idem sunt et unum significant:
Virgata seu wysta est sextadecima pars unius feodi militis ;
Quatuor virgatse seu wystse faciunt unam hydam :
Quatuor hydse faciunt unum feodum militis."
There were also " Magnse Wistse," each of which appears to have
been, as regards services at least, equivalent to half a hide. ( Vide
Custumal of Alsiston, p. 29.)
Most of the foregoing tenants in addition to their rent paid
Herthyeld and Romescot, that is. Hearth-penny and Peter's Pence,
and also a stated sum, " ad stipendium Prsepositi."
The following, with occasional slight variations, were the services
due from each tenant of half a wista or virgate, the tenants of entire
wistas rendering double services.
It will be remarked that in this Manor loaves and herrings appear
to have been regarded as the standard of value, 4 loaves " de ma-
joribus," or 6 " de minoribus," and 12 herrings being each equiva
lent to 1 d.
As, however, in some cases the fractional part of a herring is
brought into requisition to represent the amount of recompense due
for certain services (one tenant being entitled to receive a loaf and
a quarter and the fourth part of three herrings), the payment could
hardly have been made invariably in kind.
To carry 2 ambrEB, 2 bushels and a half of salt (i.e. lOJ bushels),
receiving therefor 7 loaves and a half valued at 1 J d. ;
To carry 1000 herrings from Winchelsea, Hastings, or Bolwareheth,
to the Abbey, receiving 2 loaves and 6 herrings valued at ;J d.;

XIV ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
To plough an acre and a quarter of land (the ploughing of an acre
being valued at 12 d.),* receiving 2 loaves and a half and 7 herrings and
a half, valued at Id.;
To find a man to mow and spread hay for two days, receiving each
day 2 loaves and a half, soup, drink (generally 1 gallon), ^ a dish or
mess of meat (luedie.tatem unius ferculi), and cheese, valued altogether
at 2 d. per diem ;
To carry 3 loads of hay from the meadow to the Abbey, receiving
3 loaves and 9 herrings or whitings (merleng') ;
To provide a cart with two oxen to carry the manure from the Abbey
(a service which usually occupied two days), and on the second Jay to
find a labourer to fill the cart, the driver and labourer receiving their
food in the common hall ;
To find one man to work in the garden or elsewhere for 30 days
during the year, a whole day's work between Michaelmas and Hockday
being reckoned as a work and a half, and between Hockday and Michael
mas as two works, each work being valued at ;| d., and the tenant receiving
for the whole 32-^ loaves, value 8 d.
To enclose 5 rods (virgatas) of fence called " Gavelmerke," f receiving
1 loaf and 3 herrings.
The value of the foregoing services, exclusive of the food, is
estimated at 6 s. per annum.
Several of the tenants were in addition to attend two " precarise
carucarum " in the year, that is to say, the Winter and Lenten
ploughings respectively, " cum caruca sua," with their plough-
teams ; those, however, who did not possess an entire team were to
send all the oxen they had with one man in charge thereof, who,
* The valne of this service appears to have been greatly over-estimated. In the
Extents contained in the present volume the arable land is generally said to be
worth only from 5 d. to 12 d. per acre. This may however represent the nett value,
over and above the expense of cultivation.
f It seems probable that the term " Gavelmerke" indicates the division or
boundary between the " gafol-land," or land let to the tenants and the lord's
demesne.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XV
if not employed as a ploughman, was to perform whatever services
were required of him until the teams were discharged, "usque ad
disjunctionem carucarum."
Moreover, all the aforesaid "nativi" were to carry one half the
Abbot's wine from Winchelsea to Battle, the Custos of Merle pro
viding for the carriage of the other half.
The amount of wine to be carried was estimated at 15 casks in
ordinary years, the tenants contributing to the performance of this
service in proportion to their holdings, one providing " a man and
two oxen," another " half a man and one ox," another " half an ox,"
so that considerable ingenuity must have been exercised in carrying
out the co-operation.
For the carriage of each cask, which was valued at 5 s. the
tenants were to receive 40 large loaves worth 10 d. and six-score
herrings worth 10 d., the carriage of a cask being thus worth
3 s. 4 d. clear, and the whole service worth 50 s.
Bernehorne, Co. Sussex. Pp. 17-25.
The Rental or Custumal of Bernehorne is preceded by an Extent
or Valuation of the Manor dated 35 Edward I., from which the
Demesne appears to have consisted of
464 acres 3 roods of arable land ; *
13 acres 1 rood of meadow ; and
12 acres of wood.
The arable land is subdivided into " Terra Maritima," land
near the sea-shore, or salt marshes, ofwhich there were 167 acres
3 roods, valued at 12 d. per acre;
" Terra Brocalis," woody or marshy ground, of which there were
* By an error in the original MS. this total is given as 444 acres, 3 roods.

XVI ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
101 acres, said to be worth 4d. an acre; but, "si fuerint com
petenter assewiatse," if they were sufficiently drained, each acre
would be worth 10 d. ;
And " Terra Susana, et Campestres," unsound and uncultivated
lands or flats, worth from 3d. to 6 d. an acre, of which there were
196 acres.
Besides the foregoing, there were 193 acres of Assised lands, of
which : 8 Liberi Tenentes held together 48 acres, 40 acres being
held by one tenant;
7 Nativi held 132 acres ; and
18 Coterelli about 13 acres.
Three of the Nativi held each a messuage and 30 acres of land,
and from each of them the following services were due :
To harrow for 2 days at the Lenten sowing, with one man and his
own horse and harrow, receiving 3 meals each day (the work is valued at
4d. and the food at 5 d.* " et sic erit dominus perdeas 1 d.")
To carry manure for two days, with a cart and two oxen, receiving
food as before ;
To find a man to mow for two days receiving food as above ; it is
estimated that he can mow 1^ acres in the two days ;
To gather and lift the hay so mown, receiving 2 meals for one man ;
To carry the lord's hay for one day with a cart and three of the
tenant's own beasts, receiving 3 meals as before ;
To carry beans or oats for two days in the autumn, and wood for two
days in the summer, in the san\e manner and with the same food as
before ;
To find a man for two days to cut down heath, receiving 3 meals a
day (this service is also stated to be of less value than the food) ;
* The value of the meals is given in the original MS. as iij d., which, by com
parison with subsequent entries, is clearly an error ; the figures moreover are written
over an erasure and appear to be a subsequent interpolation.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. Xvii
To carry away the heath when cut, receiving 3 meals, valued at
2id.; To carry wheat to Battle twice in the summer, on each occasion half a
seam or load, for which he is to receive each time one meal, the value of
the food being 2 d.
It will be observed that no mention is made in the foregoing ser
vices of either ploughing or reaping ; this may be accounted for by
the uncultivated character of the greater portion of the demesne,
for the rest of which the lord's own teams would probably suffice.
All the Nativi were forbidden to give their daughters in marriage
(beyond the limits of the manor), or to cause their sons to become
priests (facere filios suos coronari), without the licence of the lord ;
nor could they cut down the timber growing on their several tene
ments without the licence and approval of the Bailiff or Sergeant of
the manor, and then only for building purposes.
On the death of any Nativus the lord was to receive his best
animal as heriot (but if he had no living animal no heriot was
taken), and a year's rent was to be paid by his heirs as a fine " pro
ingressu." The Coterelli rendered no services on their own account, being
probably labourers under the larger tenants, but were subject to the
same restrictions as the Nativi and also to the same heriots and
fines. A similar extent is appended of certain tenements belonging to
the Manor of Bixle acqitired from the Bishop of Chichester.
Alsistun, Co. Sussex. Pp. 26-41.
In the Rental of Alsistun 15 customary tenants are specified, 9 of
whom held half a hide each, the remaining tenures being as follows :

1 wista and one great wista,
3 wistas and 1 great wista,

The Prsepositus of the Manor also held 1 wista, for which he
rendered no service so long as he retained his office.
The following services were due from each half-hide and one-half
thereof from each wista or quarter-hide :
Every half-hide owed to the lord, on every working day, the services
of one man, who was to do whatever should be required of him ; the
amount of labour representing a " fair day's work " being thus specified :
If thrashing was required three men ought to thrash in a day half a
seam and half a bushel ( = 4J bushels) of corn, or two men half a seam
(4 bushels) of barley, or each man 6 bushels of oats ; and of beans and
vetches the same quantity as of corn ;
They were to thrash in whatever barn they might be directed to do (so
long as it was within the boundaries of the manor), and to winnow what
they had thrashed and carry it to the granary, and if it were far to the
granary to employ their cattle in carrying it ;
If ditching (opus fossorium) was required, two men were to make in a
day 1 perch of new ditch, 5 feet in width, or each man to repair 1 perch
of old ;
If other work was required of them they were to work until their
fellows had finished their work in the barn ;
In ploughing and harrowing they were to work till it was time to un
harness the plough;
When they had to break clods (torrare), to wash or shear sheep, to hoe
corn, and to mow or gather hay, they were to work the whole day except
the dinner-hour ;
In addition to the ordinary day-work each half-hide was to find a man
for one day to gather the hay ; and also a man to mow and cock hay for
one day ; and they were to carry the whole of the hay, each half-hide
with two oxen ;

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XIX
If necessary each half-hide was to find two men to reap in the lord's
field, receiving therefor every tenth sheaf, — or, if the lord should prefer
it, each half-hide was to reap in a day an acre of com or oats or half an
acre of barley or vetches with as many men as they chose, receiving
every tenth sheaf ; •
They were to carry all the corn, each half-hide with two oxen ;
Also each half- hide was to find two men and two oxen to cart manure
till it was all carted away ;
To plough one acre for corn once and to sow half of it, providing the
seed; To plough one acre for barley twice, and two acres for oats once, to
carry the seed for the same from the granary to the field, and to harrow
the same;
Every half-hide was also, to carry 4 loSids of wood yearly to the lord's
hearth, and when he was building, a cart-load of timber ;
If it were necessary to fetch grain from Seford or elsewhere near, each
half-hide was to go with one beast twice a-day, or if further, once a-day,
such service being reckoned as one day's work ;
Each was also to provide and make four rafters (cheveruns) with the
appurtenances, and the roofing for the lord's sheep-cote (ad hlosam
domini), except with great timber, this being reckoned as two days'
work; Also to carry to Battle every Monday ; if, however, the tenant's mare
was dead or foaling, he was to be quit from one " averagium," but he
was to work instead.
The tenants were also to carry wheresoever and whensoever
required, but, unless ihey could return home at nightfall, at the
lord's expense; and when they were employed in carrying service
or in ploughing they were free from day work ; and, in autumn, if
they had carried three loads of grain and were hindered by the rain
from carrying more, they were quit of work for that day ; but if less
than three loads, they were to thrash or to perform any other work
that might be required of them.
The two Great Wistas were to render the same services as half a

hide except that they did not reap nor thrash ; each of them was,
however, to fetch a cart-load of timber for making ploughs ; and
upon them devolved the duty of sheltering the guests of the Abbot
or of the monks and their horses ; they were also to drive the lord's
swine to and from the wood at Battle or Limenesfeld.
There were also 4 Cottarii in Alsistun, whose holdings are npt
specified, from whom the following services were required :
Prom Michaelmas to hoeing-time (usque ad tempus sarculationis) to
perform two days' work a week, namely-on Monday and Wednesday, and
(as they say) to do no other works except to thrash, to break clods, and
to spread hay when necessary ;
At Christmas each was to carry to Battle 12 hens, and at Easter 250
eggs, and they were to be free from work for 12 days at Christmas and
" a die Paraceves," from Holy Friday to the Octaves of Easter ;
They were to hoe whenever there was anything to be hoed, to attend
the sheep-shearing, and at hay-time and harvest each to find one man for
the whole time.
Four more Cottarii were to assist in getting in the hay and to
have 4 days' food each ; three others to perform the same service
with two days' food each; and one more to stack grain, receiving
food for two days.
The tenants of 6 half-hides in Teletun, 1 in Cloppham, 1 hide
and 4 half-hides in Lullinton, and 5 half-hides in Alurichtun, rendered
similar services to those of the half-hides of Alsistun, all the tenants
being moreover required, whensoever they brewed, to send to the
Court of Alsistun a pitcher of ale holding at least 2 gallons, receiving
in return a small loaf.
There were also 15 tenants in Blechintun, two of whom held half
hides, 9 one wista each, and 4 half a wista each.
These in addition to their rents owed, in common, 11 d. at the Feast of
St. Thomas towards the repair of the sheep-cote ;

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. Xxi
They were to find 11 men to carry hay from the Brociis de Lullinton
for one day ;
To perform 12 "averagia" of corn from Seford to Alsistun; and, in
common, to plough 11 acre about the Feast of the Purification (Feb. 2) ;
but because they were a long way from the Abbot's demesne they were
accustomed to compound with the Bailiff of Alsistun for the said ploughing
by a fine of 3 s. and afterwards of 4 s.
Two other tenants holding half a wista each owed in addition to their
rent 1000 herrings at Lent, to be chosen by the Serjeant or Bailiff
and carried by them to the Court of Alsistun (afterwards com
muted into a payment of 13 s. for both the rent and the herrings).
In Bocholt four tenements are described as being held by
" Tenentes de Boscagio," and probably consisted of assart lands.
Two of these tenants held jointly one wista, and in addition to
certain other services are stated to owe " in Quadragesima 1.
Tyndag'." In the Extent of Limenesfeld (p. 150) the Semen Quadragesimale
or Lenten sowing is called " Tyndesawe." It is possible, therefore,
that the " Tyndag " in the passage above quoted means a day's
sowing in Lent, and that 1. has been written in error for j. in tran
scribing this portion from the original or draft custumal.
Dyngemaris, Co. Kent. Pp. 42-52.
In the Rental of Dyngemaris or Dengemarsh, which was a member
of the Manor of Wy, a list is given of the tenants, with the rents
paid by them at the four usual terms, but the amount of their
respective tenures is not specified nor are the tenants classified in
any way. It may be noticed that in many instances the rent is
stated to be due from a certain tenant, " et participes ejus," thus
indicating the existence of joint tenures.

XXU ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
In addition to his rent each tenant paid " Hertheld," or Hearth-
penny, at the Feast of St. Thomas the Apostle, and Romescot, or
Peter's Pence, at that of St. Peter ad Vincula, the latter payment
being generally so much "cum uxore," but occasionally "cum
uxore et sine." Several of the tenants also paid 2d. at Michaelmas
as "Turfeld."
The rental concludes with the rents due for " kydellis," i.e.,
kiddles, a species of fishing-net.
The services and customs of this manor appear to have been of
the slightest possible description.
The tenants say that there were 36 acres of " Gavelmed " in the
manor, and that whoever held an acre of Gavelmed was entitled to
a reduction of 2 d. from his Michaelmas rent.
Those, however, who held the Gavelmed were to do an aver
agium twice a year if the Abbot should come there, that is, they
were to find 12 horses, with men in charge thereof, to carry bread
from Wy but not to carry liquor ; but from Romenal and Wynchel-
sea they were to carry all kinds of victuals, including ale.
The Cotarii, moreover, were each to carry 4 gallons of ale or
wine from Winchelsea or Romenal, for which they were to have
pasturage for five sheep and their other animals on a certain portion
of the cliffs (" a Chrokepole usque Bocteswall ").
If, however, the lord did not come, each of the aforesaid tenants
was to pay 1 d. per annum in lieu of the said service.
Each tenant of an acre of " Gavelmed^' was to have 16 sheep
on the cliff, within certain metes and bounds, and those who held
less than an acre a proportionate number.
From the time of the Annunciation (Mar. 25) till after the mowing
the meadows of Gavelmed were " in defenso."
It is stated, however., that the above-mentioned averagia, both by
the Custumarii and others, must be taken into consideration, inas-

much as they (the tenants) claim pasturage on the cliff whether they
render such services or not.
Apeldkeham, Co. Sussex. Pp. 53-57.
A Custumal only of this Manor is given, the tenants being clas
sified as Yherdlinges, Cottarii Majores, and Cottarii Minores.
Ten tenants holding from a virgate to 1| virgate each are
described as " Yherdlinges."
These were to plough 22 acres for wheat and 22 for oats, and to
harrow them, and meanwhile to do no other services ;
When that had been done they were to find daily two horses for
harrowing so long as the lord had anything to sow, receiving two meals
a day, and their horses a double handful of provender ;
They were to render carrying service whenever necessary from La Delle
to the Manor Court, and from the Manor to Chichester and back again
if need be, but not to pass the gates of the city unless by their own
wish ;
They were also to carry to Winchester every year on the arrival of the
Chamberlain of Battle, and to bring at their own expense the Chamber
lain's goods to Alsiston ;
The Prsepositus, however, was quit from all carrying service ;
They were also to plough for lying fallow (warectare) 11 acres in
summer ;
Each holder of a virgate was to cart manure sufficient for half an acre,
and to spread it, and the others more or less in proportion to their
holdings ;
All the custumarii were twice a year, if called upon, to do a benerthe or
ploughing service, that is those who possessed plough-teams or any part
thereof ;
They were also to hoe &^ acres of corn, 5^ acres of barley, and as
much of oats, and to reap and bind and stock (coppare), and to carry
throughout the autumn as often as called upon ;
Every tenant of an entire virgate was to find two men to reap at each
of the three autumn precarise, receiving each day a specified quantity of
food, that is to say, each was to have a loaf of the weight of 18 lbs. of

XXIV ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
wax* (et habebunt singuli singulos panes ponderis xviij" cere), and
every two (duo duo) a dish of meat of the value of j d. and soup or broth
at the first precaria ; at the second, however, the bread was to be half of
wheat and half of barley, but at the third entirely of wheat. At a fourth
precaria, called " Hungerbedrip," all the lord's tenants (with one excep
tion ) were to find one man who was to receive food once a day ;
Each tenant of a virgate was also to thrash, winnow, and carry to the
granary four bushels of wheat, and if necessary to sow whenev.er called
upon. Nine other tenants are described as " Cottarii Majores," each
holding 4 acres.
. These were to perform three days' work a week, from the Feast of St.
Matthew to that of St. Peter ad Vincula (Sept. 21 to Aug. 1), except in
the weeks of Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost, during which time they
were only to thrash out sufficient forage for the beasts if it should be
necessary to do so ; from Aug. 1 to Sept. 21, however, they were to work
every day except Saturday.
A day's work in thrashing comprised a " werkhop " (2^ bushels)
of hard grain, that is to say, of corn, beans, or vetches ; but two
" werkhops " of barley, and of oats four.
Three " lyneae " of manuiK were to be spread as two days' work ;
and in gathering straw or stubble 50 sheaves were to be gathered
as a day's work, one sheaf being retained by the tenant.
The foregoing tenants were all to break clods for one day after
dinner (post prandium).
They were also to carry the lord's sheepfold wherever required,
and to raise it, each carrying two hurdles with the stakes.
* By the Assize of Weights and Measures (Stat, of the Realm, vol. i. p. 204) it
was ordained that an English penny sterling should weigh 32 grains of wheat
"dry in the midst of the ear" ; that 20 pence should make loz., and 12 oz. or
20 sterling shillings one pound— that is to say, a pound of pence or of spices, con
fections, &c. A pound of all other things, however, amongst which max is spe
cially mentioned, consisted of 25 shillings or 15 oz.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXV
Whosoever possessed a cow was to reap and bind an acre for the
said cow.
The " Cottarii Minores " were six in number. Their services
were similar to those of the other Cottars, but each of them did
only one day's work a week ; and in carrying the sheepfold they
carried only one hurdle each.
All the Cottarii were to render at the three first precariae in
autumn the same services as the holders of Virgates.
Moreover, all the customary tenants were to mow, spread, gather
and carry the hay from the meadow of Suthmed, and to have 6
bushels of corn and two sheep " de consuetudine."
They were also to wash and shear the lord's sheep, and to have
the " lockes de ventre."
The " Bercarius," who was one of the Cottarii, had the care of
the lord's sheep, and was quit of all works in the meantime, except
harvest work in autumn.
The lord of the manor was bound to plough with his teams for
the " Bercarius " and " Porcarius," respectively, two acres at the
winter sowing and two at the Lenten sowing, and each of them
was to reap and bind an acre of corn, an acre of barley, half an
acre of beans, and an acre of oats.
Four tenants held '' Coterise," or cottages only, for which they
owed the services of one man at the " Hungerbedrip."
Brithwolton, Co. Berks. Pp. 58-71.
In the Rental and Custumal of Brithwolton the rents and ser
vices of the Liberi Tenentes, Virgarii, Cottarii, and Cotter ice are
severally specified. Then follows an enumeration of the rents due
from a certain tenement called " Tenementum de Fraxino," held
by the Abbot on lease from Elyas, filius Alwyni de Limenesfeld, in

exchange for certain other tenements, and of rents and services in
Hertle and Covenholte belonging to the said manor.
Under the heading " Isti tenent libere " appear the names of six
tenants, two of whom (who held portions of the tenement de
Fraxino above referred to) are further described as " Villani
Domini." A third tenant was the parson of Brithwolton, who held
a virgate of land at the annual rent of 1 s.
The first named of the aforesaid free tenants, who held 14 ^ acres
of assart lands, was to attend the three autumnal Precariae, the first
by one man, the second by two, and the third with his whole house
hold, and also to come with his plough-team to three Precarise at
the bidding of the Serjeant.
The parson and one other tenant were to have the whole of their
households present at the Great Precaria in the autumn ; nor was
any one to reap on the day in which the lord held the Great
Precaria, except in the lord's field.
Ten " Virgarii " held each a virgate of land at a rent of 5 s. 4 d.
per atinum. In addition each held in common an acre of " Grene-
holte," for which he paid a further sum of 4 d. per annum.
Every Vivgarius who had cattle for ploughing, " whether an ox, a
mare, or a cow," was to plough half an acre in winter, and in summer half
an acre for fallow, the said ploughing being called " Grasacra " ;
He was also to plough and harrow an acre called " Nedacra," although
he had no animals for ploughing, or else to give three hens and a cock
as churchshot, whichever the lord should prefer ; and each of them was
to give for every animal he had of the age of two years and upwards a
penny at the Feast of St. John the' Baptist, which was called
" Lesselver" ;
Each was to come to three Precarise with his plough-team at the
bidding of the Serjeant; those who had an entire team plougliing an acre
in winter, another in Lent, and a third in summer for lying fallow,
and those who had less than an entire team ploughing and harrowing
in proportion ;

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXVU
Each of them was also to find a man to wash and shear sheep when
necessary, and one man to hoe for three days from morning till evening ;
They were together to mow the whole of the lord's meadow land, and
(with the aid of the other customary tenants) to carry the hay ; for
this they were to receive a sheep (tbe lord taking the right shoulder),
and to have salt for the salting thereof ;
Each was to send one man to the first autumnal Precaria, two to the
second, and to attend the third with his whole household ; and to carry
the lord's corn to the Court for one whole day in the autumn;
•They were also to gather nuts "ad medietatem," e.e., retaining half
the quantity gathered ; to give pannage for their swine ; and to carry
the lord's sheepfold at the bidding of the Serjeant, three times a year,
wherever required.
For none of the foregoing services were they to receive any
remission of rent.
If day-work was required of them, each was to work from the
Feast of St. John the Baptist to Quia August! (June 24 to August
1), every other day — and from August 1 to Michaelmas, every
day — from morning till noon.
In reaping each was to reap and bind half an acre as a day's
work, and to receive a sheaf of the grain " per corrigiam unius
rectse ulnae et unius quarterise illius," such as could be contained
in a band of the length of an ell and a quarter.
If the said day-work was fully performed each was to have a
reduction of 12 d. from his rent.
Seventeen tenants are described as " Cottarii," each of whom
held half a virgate at a rent of 2 s. 4 d. per annum, or by the per
formance of the services below described. Two of them paid an
additional 2 s. per annum to escape the work. Each tenant also
paid 4 d. in addition to his rent for an acre of " Greneholte," held
by him in common with the others, but no remission was to be
made of this sum for any services rendered.

XXVlll ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
If the aforesaid tenants did works they were to work from
Michaelmas to August 1 , every other day except Saturday — and
from August 1 to Michaelmas, every day except Saturday — from
morning to noon : for this each was to receive a reduction of 2 s, of
his rent.
If any of them should be chosen by the lord as Carucarius, or
to any other office, he was to have a reduction of 2 s.
Each of them was to give 3 hens and a cock as churchshot
(cherset), and to give pannage for his swine.
They were in addition to wash and shear sheep, and to perform
the other services rendered by the Virgarii, except that they did
not plough the " Benacre," nor carry in the autumn, nor mow nor
harrow; for these " common services " they were not to receive any
reduction of rent.
It will be observed that the day-work, although its full perform
ance resulted in almost annihilating the rent, could not be escaped
without a heavy additional payment.
Twenty-eight tenants, stated to be " also Villani," held assart
lands called " Gavelland " at fixed rentals, and without special ser
vices. There were also four tenants of " Cotterias " under like conditions.
No customary tenant was to have any relaxation of rent for lands
held by him " de assarto " or " in communi de Greneholte," in
consideration of any office held or service rendered.
All the tenants of the manor, both free tenants and others, were
to plough at three " benerthes," and those who had plough-teams,
whenever called upon.
All the Virgarii and the tenants of assart lands were to harrow
in Lent at the bidding of the serjeant, and he who had no horse
(except in the case of the Cottarii) was to procure one for the
purpose; for this they were to receive food once a day.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXIX
All the tenants, " tam liberi quam servi," were to give the usual
attendance at three autumnal Precariae, receiving their food twice a
day. The following were the customs of this manor with regard to the
appointment and remuneration of the several manorial officers :
The Prmpositus or " Foreman " might be chosen by the lord of the
manor from the customary tenants. If he held an entire virgate his
rent of 5 s. was to be reduced by 3 s. 4 d. or two-thirds, and he was also
to be released from two-thirds of the services due for the said virgate,
both in ploughing and other work, except from ploughing the
" Grasacra " ;
He was to have an acre of com (not manured) by the delivery and
at the discretion of the serjeant ; and at Christmas, Easter, and Pente
cost, and throughout the autumn, he was to have his food ;
If the lord of the manor wished to have a Carucarius or ploughman
from amongst the customary tenants, whether from the Virgarii or the
Cottarii, a reduction of 2 s. only was to be made from the rent of the said
ploughman ;
Each carucarius was, however, to have the use of the team held by
him every other Saturday ; but if hindered by the rain or by its being a
feast day he was not to take the following Saturday, but to wait his
turn, the day so lost being accounted to him as a day's work in
ploughing; The Carucarii were also to have the first acre sown by them with barley
(bericorn), and their breakfast (jantaculum) on the day they began
sowing, and their food on Christmas and Easter Day;
The Woodward was to be chosen from the Virgarii;
He was to have charge of. the lord's wood and of his swine, and had a
reduction of 3 s. 4 d. from his rent. For his care of the swine he was
to have four bushels of barley and his food on three occasions, like the
Praepositus, and was also to have, at the Feast of St. Martin, a pig's
fry (intestina unius porci praeter adipem illius);
The Messor (Keaper), if chosen from the customary tenants, was to
have a reduction of rent of 2 s. and his food on the same occasions as the

xxx ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
Praspositus ; for watching the lord's grain at night in the autumn he
was to receive one sheaf daily so long as the reaping continued, of the
girth before specified ;
The " Custos Multonura," or keeper of the wethers, if chosen from
the customary tenants, was to have a reduction of rent of 2 s., and " the
profit of the fold " for twelve days at Christmas. He was also to have
forty sheep pasturing with those of the lord, a fold for his own sheep, a
fleece called " Belwetheresfles," his food at Christmas and Easter, and
an acre of " terra fricta " (land broken up for cultivation) next to his
pasture, to be sown by him if he liked ;
It was not the custom to choose a " heeper of the ewes " from the
customary tenants, although the lord might choose his Praepositus and
other officers either from the Virgarii or Cottarii, or from the tenants
at will of assart lands, for they were all villani and of servile condition,
nor could they give their sons or daughters in marriage beyond the
liberty of the manor, or sell their cattle without the lord's licence.
Note. — It was the custom for the Virgarii to thrash out provender for
the lord of the manor whenever he should pass that way, and also for
those who hoed corn for three days to have their food twice a day; that is
to say, at noon, barley-bread, soup or broth, and whey (" serum," or
in French, " mege " or " maige "), and in the evening bread and whey.
Twenty-three tenants in Hertle (co. Berks) and Covenholte
(co. Hants) rendered no services because they paid an increased
rent; they were, however, to give pannage for their swine, and
could not give their daughters in marriage nor sell their cattle
without the lord's licence.
The rent of one tenant in Covenholte is said to be divided by
the other tenants amongst themselves " ut eos defenderet contra
nocentes patriotas in comitatu suo " — in consideration of his defend
ing them against evil-doing natives in their county.
This appears to mean that, being far away from the jurisdiction
of the lord of the manor to which they belonged, they were com
pelled to rely on their own resources for protection against evil-

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXXI
disposed neighbours. The form which this protection assumed is,
however, a question which affords scope for rather curious specu
lation.
Bromeham, Co. Wilts. Pp. 72-82.
The tenants in the Manor of Bromeham are classified under the
several heads of Liberi Tenentes, Majores Erdlinges or Virgarii,
Minores -Erdlinges, Half -Erdlinges or Majores Cottarii, Minores
Cottarii, and Cotterice, but the extent of their respective holdings
is not specified.
The Liberi Tenentes were 12 in number, six of whom were quit
by their rent from all common services, but owed a heriot and relief;
and " their tenants," if they possessed a plough-team or any part
thereof, were to plough a " grasacra " at the winter ploughing.
The remaining six were to plough one " grasacra" each, to carry
the lord's hay, and also to carry each a specified quantity of grain ;
they also owed a heriot and relief, and their tenants, if they had
animals for ploughing, were to plough the "grasacra" in proportion
to the strength of their teams.
Of the Majores Erdlinges or Virgarii there were five, each of
whom paid in addition to his rent 4 d. per annum as " horsgabulum,"
or horse-gafol.
Each of these was also to plough, harrow, and sow with his own corn
one acre called '' Grasacra " ;
To plough two " werkacras " in winter ;
To provide a man to do four " deywynes " or day-works after Michael
mas Day, working from morning till noon ;
To wash and shear sheep with the other custumarii, each by one
man ;
To cart manure wherever required, those who possessed carts witli
their carts, and those who had none providing a labourer daily;
To provide a man to mow for three days from morning till noon in

XXXU ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
the meadows called Formed and Thochmed, and, together with the other
Custumarii, to lift and carry the hay of those meadows;
To reap and bind one " Nedacra " in autumn;
To provide two men each day at the three autumnal Precariae, called
" Nedbedrypes," who were to reap from noon till evening ;
To carry 12 cartloads of grain (4 " de monte " and 8 " sub monte ")
and to give pannage for their swine.
For the foregoing services they were to receive no reduction of
rent; if, however, they performed certain specified day-works
between Midsummer and Michaelmas, working each day from
morning till noon, a fourth of their rent was to be remitted.
The Minores Erdlinges were eight in number :
They paid horse-gafol and rendered similar services to the Erdlinges,
except that they did not plough, harrow, and sow the " grasacra ''; and
that they ploughed only one " werkacra," furnished one man instead of
two at the autumnal Precarise, and carried only nine cartloads of grain.
For these works they were to have no reduction of rent, those for
which a reduction was made being specified amongst the services of the
Half-Erdlinges. Note. — The horse-gafol was never remitted except for the perform
ance of averagia or carrying-services.
Half-Erdlinges or Majores Cottarii. Of these there were eleven,
two of whom paid horse-gafol in addition to their rent.
Each of these was to do six day-works after Michaelmas Day, working
from morning tiU noon, " and so much was expected of them because
they did not plough the " werkacra " like the others;
If any of them had an ox or horse fit for ploughing he was to help to
plough the " grasacra," and each of them was to harrow one acre.
They were to wash and shear sheep with the other Custumarii, to
furnish each one man for three days to mow and gather hay, and to
carry it, like the Majores Erdlinges ;
Each was to reap and bind one " Nedacra " and to furnish one man

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXXUl
for three days at the Nedbedripes in the autumn, who was to reap from
noon till evening ;
And each was to carry 6 loads of grain in the autumn, 2 " de monte "
and 4 " sub monte.''
If the Minores Erdlinges and the Half-Erdlinges, in addition to
the foregoing services, did day-work from Midsummer to Michael
mas — that is to say, by one man each every day except Saturday,
working from morning to noon, — they were to be released from
one-fourth of their rent.
Each of the Half-Erdlinges or Cottarii, moreover, was to have
two sheaves of the grain reaped by them in the autumn, each sheaf
bound by a cord an ell and a quarter in length.
If, however, the Cottarii did full work, that is to say, three days
a week from Michaelmas to Midsummer, three-fourths of their rent
was to be remitted; and if from Midsummer to Michaelmas they
worked the whole week except Saturday and holidays, the other
fourth was remitted, so that if they did full work throughout the
year they paid no rent.
Minores Cottarii. These were 1 2 in number, each of whom was
to do three " deywynes " by one man each after Michaelmas Day,
and the other works in proportion.
Coterice. Six tenants come under this designation, three of whom
were to be present for one day at the haymaking and at the stacking
of the hay; the others paid rent only.
Most of the foregoing tenants paid pannage for their swine at a
fixed rate, and also gave " cherset," that is to say, each three hens
and a cock.
The Prcspositus, if chosen from the Custumarii, was to have a
reduction of reiit up to 4 s., and also a mare and colt on the lord's
pasture in summer, and his food ("mensam suam") from August 1

xxxiv ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
The Messor, if one of the Custumarii, was also to have a reduc
tion of 12 d. from his rent and a mare and colt at pasture like the
Prtepositus ; and also for watching the lord's grain in the autumn,
60 sheaves of corn of medium quality.
The Bercator was in like manner to have 60 sheaves for watching
the grain and a reduction of 3 s.
The Carucarii, the Forestarius, and the Faber., if customary
tenants, were each to have a reduction of 3 s. from their rent.
All the " servientes domini " were to have bacon on a fiesh-day,
that is to say, one dish each.
All the tenants who owed horse-gafol were on the arrival of the
Abbot to carry whenever called upon to Brithwolton, Salisbury,
or elsewhere within 20 leagues, according to the lord's will, and for
that year they were to be quit of the gafol.

Ckaumakeys, Co. Oxon. Pp. 85-90.
In the rental of Craumareys there appear 14 tenants holding 'half
a virgate each at a rent of '2 s. 6 d. per annum and Sd. as oherset.
Each of these was to send two men per diem to reap at the three
autumnal Precariae and one man to the fourth, " ad cibum domini."
In addition each was to reap and bind hallf an acre every day except
Saturday 'during the autumnal reaping, receiving one sheaf of 'the grain
so 'reaped; and to hoe ithe lord's corn every afternoon, so 'long as there
was any hoeing to be done ;

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXXV
They were also to mow the lord's meadow, and the first day to have a
breakfast of bread and cheese ; and to spread, lift, and cock the hay, for
which they received 10^ d. and each one a wheaten loaf price ^ d.
Each of them was to thrash after Michaelmas Day six bushels of com>
and to receive a bundle of straw, as much as he could lift and carry
away without help.
They were also to gather straw for half a day and each to receive one
" thelyn." There were also 11 minor tenants, holding from 2| acres to half
a virgate each, who rendered services differing but little from the
foregoing. All the tenants were to give pannage for their swine, to pay
Peter's Pence, and were prohibited from giving their daughters in
marriage beyond the liberty of the manor and from selling their
cattle without the lord's licence.
They were all to have their food at the autumnal Precarise twice
a day : — that is to say at noon — wheaten bread, ale, and cheese,
and in the evening — bread, ale, soup or broth, flesh or herrings
according to the day, and cheese — besides a drink in tl^e afternoon.
They were also to have an acre qf corn (unarn acram de frumento)
to be chosen by themselves as jt lay in thp field, " ita tamen quod
non sit fimata nee faldata nee forsettere nee foretata super dominicum
mensurata." *
They were also to have common of pasture on the stubbles as
soon as the lord's grain had been gathered, and also in a certain
pasture called Heycrofte.
After the Feast of St. Martin, those who had plough-teams were
to plough an acre called " Grasherse " (Grasacra or Grasierthe), and
* This appears to mean that the acre so chosen was not to be manured nor
enclosed as a sheepfold, nor measured on the demesne for some other special
purpose. The words " forsettere nee foretata " have baffled all attempts to get at
their meaning ; it is possible, however, that they have been written in mistake for
" warectare nee waretata," which would render the passage perfectly intelligible.

XXXVl ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
those who had no teams were not to have common of pasture till
then. After the said feast they might gather straw on the demesne for
their own use, for which they gave cherset.
Each virgate moreover could have 16 sheep in the fold during
folding time.
All the tenants were to have two days' notice before they were
called upon to hoe, mow, or reap, in order that they might be
prepared with their implements, and those who had no scythes were
to give a peimy to the mowers.
All who had carts were also to carry the lord's grain if necessary,
receiving their food, and on that day doing no other work.
Hoton, Co. Essex. Pp. 91-100.
The rental of Hoton presents a complete list of the tenants of the
manor, in which the rent due from each is specified, but without
any attempt at order or classification; the three first-named appear,
however, to have been Liberi Tenentes. Amongst these was the
Master of St. Bartholomew's, London, who held certain lands by
charter from the abbot, for which he owed suit at the Court of
Hoton, and, on the death or resignation of any Master, his successor
was to pay 10 s. as heriot and relief and to swear fealty to the Lord
of the Manor.*
In the Custumal the services to be rendered by each tenant are
specified categorically and vary considerably in extent. These are
again followed by the names of those tenants who paid hen- rents
and plough-rents in addition to the sums previously stated.
N.B. — In transcribing this from the draft or smaller copy of the
Custumal the scribe has made one or two blunders which the
existence of the draft enables us to correct.
* The words " cuilibet Magistro " in the original MS. should evidently be
" quolibet Magistro."

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXXVII
Thus, in the services of Johannes de Elde (p. 94) the words
" sextam precem" have been written by mistake for " siccam
precem," i.e., a precaria without drink ; and in the entry relating
to the services of Heres (or Henricus) Dodi on p. 95 a foot-note
relating to the services of a previous tenant has been embodied in
the text, thus rendering the passage nnintelligible. Omitting this
note the passage would read as follows: " et in autumpno, — prseter
praedictas operationes iiij"'' operationes," <^c.
The following services, which were to be rendered by Martinus
de Branford as the tenant of 15^ acres, may be quoted as an ex
ample of those due from the larger customary tenants :
To perform 1 averagium a year to London, Tilbury, or Chelmsford,
for which he received a loaf and one feed of oats for his horse ;
To reap and bind one acre in the autumn ;
To furnish 3 men at the Great Precaria in autumn, at another 2, and
at a third 1, and to bind what they reaped ;
To find a man to hoe for one day, receiving his food ;
To harrow for one day till noon, receiving a piece of bread;
To attend the " Preces Carucarum " twice a year, viz. in Winter and
in Lent, with as many animals for ploughing as he possessed.
He was also to find one man at the Great Precaria for certain land
called " Terra Lynnot."
Several of the minor tenants, holding from 5 to 15^ acres each,
were to serve as follows :
To perform one day's work every week throughout the year, and in
autumn four more works " de surplusagio " ;
To find one man at each Precaria and to bind what he reaped ;
In addition to reap and bind 1 acre ;
To hoe for one day by one man, who was to receive food twice a day ;
To mow two parts of one acre (two third parts ?) as one day's work,
for which he was to receive one farthing;
To harrow J an acre in Lent, receiving one piece of bread ;
To gather nuts for one day " ad medietatem " (i.e., receiving a moiety
or half the quantity gathered) ;

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. XXXlX
The rents and services of each tepant are specified in the Extent
in the same manner as in the Custumal, but with the addition of the
pecuniary value of the services and of the food supplied in each
case. They appear to vary little from those described in the earlier
record, although in one or two cases additional details are given.
Thus in the services of William, the son of Martin de Hoton (the
successor of the Martin de Branford whose services are above
quoted), the following variations occur:
At the first Precaria in autumn he was to find (as before) one
man, who was to receive two meals without drink (a " sicca " pre
caria) : at ,the second two men, who were to have two meals with
drink, and at the third four men (one man " pro terra Lynnot"),
who were to have two meals with drink ;
And in the evening qf that (the third) day they were to be as they
say " solemniter depasti."
At the secon(J Precaria and at the third, " which is called the
Great Preicaria," each labourer was to bring a comrade ivith hi;m to
supper (" utroque die ad vesperam occuret in cena cuilibet qperario
unus alius, et sic pro uno operants erupt |duo ad cenam ") .
The work of each reaper is further stated to be worth \^A. per
day, " qpia dicunt quod tantum dabunt ad minus cuilibet operario,
si quis unum vel plures conducere debeat ad faciendum opus, una
cum cibo prsedicto ; et pro eo maxime, quod debent llgare et coppare
post pradictas precarias, temporibus opportunis, totum quod reman-
serit deligatum."
So that it would appear to have been the practice for the tenants,
in order to get the harvest work finished within the period allotted
to it, to hire extra labourers, who, however, were entitled to jiar-
ticipate in the general supper at the lord's expense.
It is also stated that "ipse idem" (the tenant) " debet equitare
ultra metentes ad secundam et ad tertiam precariam in autumpno,

xl ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
et habere cibum bis in die cum serviente, et plus valet cibum quam
perfectus opus,"
He was also to gather nuts with one man for one day and to have
a moiety of those gathered, " et non potest illud opus extendi
propter ejus parvitatem."
The following particulars regarding the general services of the
tenants are given at the end of the extent :
Each of the nativi who had a plough-team, or any part thereof,
was to plough at the two Precariae Carucarum, " et parum vel nihil
prodest arura de parvis tenentibus quia pauca habent animalia."
Every free tenant who owed a heriot was to give his best animal,
but if he had no animal he gave no heriot, and the same with the
nativi, from all of whom who held buildings, " quitenementa tenent
edificata," a heriot was due.
The successor of any nativus was also to pay a fine on entry ; but
the widow of a nativus was to remain in possession of his tenement
during her life-time. She must not, however, re-marry without the
lord's licence.
Each nativus " quando braciaverit " was to give two " lagenas "
of the best ale which was called Tolcestre.
Nor could any of the said nativi, " neque major neque minor,"
give his daughter in marriage, nor make his son a priest without the
lord's licence, nor cut down timber without licence, and then only
for building. Wye, Co. Kent. Pp. 101-136.
The lands held by the tenants of the Manor of Wye appear to have
consisted of 60 J juga or yoke-lands, each of which contained four
virgates. One half of these, that is 30 juga and 1 virgate, are
described as " juga libera " and the other half as "juga servilia,"
or " juga averantia."

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. xli
The "juga servilia" were subdivided into three " Wendi,"
Dunewendus, Chiltunwendus, and Brunelfordwendus, each of which
contained 10 juga, Dunewendus including in addition the Virgate
called " Throstle," or Throstel's, which was the fourth part of a
jugum and rendered proportionate services.
The following are the services stated to be due from the customary
yoke-lands :
Each "Wendus" was to perform 10 averagia every three
weeks, i.e., one from each jugum, and always on a Saturday, on one
Saturday corn being carried, and on the other barley ; the Virgate
of Throstel, however, always carried corn.
In addition to the foregoing, 33 averagia were due from certain
of the libera juga, between Hockday and the 1st of August.
Each averagium was from Wye to Battle, and was to consist of
half a seam either of wheat or of barley.
Twenty-eight of the "juga averantia " (the two juga in Kyngess-
wode being excepted) were to plough, sow, and harrow 42 acres for
wheat, i.e., each jugum 1^ acre, and the Virgate of Throstel a
fourth of this quantity, that is 1 ^ roods.*
Two or three of the " libera juga " also contributed to this ser
vice, the total number of acres for wheat being 49 acres, 3^ roods
(xlix acrse et dimidia, j virgata et dimidia).
All the juga which ploughed for wheat as above were to reap,
gather, bind and stock (coppare) the same number of acres, and,
with two exceptions, were to plough, sow, and harrow for barley in
like manner.
The 28 "juga servilia" were also to mow, spread, turn, cock,
and carry to the Court of Wy, and there to stack 28 acres of
* The use here of the word " virgata " for rood is very unusual and rather con
fusing, the passage standing thus: "Et Virgata Throstle (debet arare) unam vir-
gatam et dimidiam." There can, however, be no doubt as to the meaning.

xiii ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
meadow, one for each jugum, certain' of the libera juga also con
tributing to this service, the total number of acres to be mown, &c.
being 33 acres, 1 rood.
With regard to rent and other dues the juga servilia were all
equal. The rent of each jugum was 7 s. 5 d. that is to say 40 d. of ancient
rent and 49 d. of new rent. All those paying this rent were said to
be " de numero sex llbrarum," that being about the amount paid by
them altogether in excess of the ancient rent ; as a matter of fact
however they paid 12|d. more (et excrescunt 12|d.)
The juga servilia also rendered rents of hens and eggs, i.e. 3 hens
at Christmas and 20 eggs at Easter,* similar payments being made
by many of the libera juga as shown by the rental.
They paid each 74 d. per annum as husbote, and 9 d. per annum
"pro brasio," and at the feast of St. Thomas the Apostle a certain
payment called " FoxalpenI," which is stated to have arisen in the
year of the war between King John and his barons.
All the juga which owed ploughing service were to turn their
ploughs to the lord's land on the vigils of St. Martin and St.
Gregory respectively, without being summoned, under penalty of a
fine of 2 Id.
If any tenant did not come to do carrying service on the Saturday,
nor to Battle on the Monday, he was fined 21 d., and the BedeUus
was 10 supply Ins place, for which he was to have 6 d.
Most of the juga servilia had wood in Kingswood without rent,
i.e. 10 acres each. This is in one instance alleged as a proof of the
yoke-land in question being servile.

* The serjeant was to call once for the hens and eggs; but if they were not
ready the tenants were to carry them to the manor within 12 days; if this was not
done, they were fined 21 d. in lieu thereof.

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. xliii
Limenesfeld and Bkodeham, Co. Surrey. Pp. 137-163.
From the Extent of Limenesfeld the demesne appears to have con
sisted, in addition to the manor-house with its gardens and other
appurtenances, including two granges with the adjacent closes, a
dovecot, and two watermills, of
600 acres of "3oscus Communis," i.e., of wood which was
common to all the tenants of the manor, " tam liberis
quam nativis per totum annum ad omnia averia.sua";
163 acres of " Boscus Separalis," wliich however were
common to all the tenants " tempore glani," i.e„ at the
time of panna,ge, but for their swine only ; and of
1367 acres of arable and pasture land and 38 acres of
meadow, in various fields and crofts. Some of these
are described as '* acrae separales," whilst others
appear to have formed distinct enclosures of demesne
land, e.g.
" Et sunt ibidem in cam pis qui vocantur Horscroftes
Ixxviij acrcB separales.
et in diversis campis et croftis quae vocantur Hornesland
infra unum clausum et procinctum cxi. acrse terrse et
pasturse."
The arable and pasture land is valued at ij d, to vj d. per acre,
and the meadow at xvj d. per acre.
There were in Limenesfeld between 50 and 60 "Liberi Tenentes,"
holding amongst them about 470 acres, chiefly in very small quan
tities, although three of them held 50, 60, and 120 acres respect
ively. The same tenant appears in many cases as the po,ssessor of
several small holdings, and in two or three cases the tenures are
stated to be " in servitio."

xliv ANALYSIS AND NOTES.
Each of the Liberi Tenentes, both large and small, who had a
plough-team or any part thereof was to attend one Precaria
Carucarum in Winter and another in Lent, at each of which the
possessor of a whole team was to plough and harrow one acre.
Many of them are however stated to be " adeo parvae tenurse et
impotentes, quod neque carucas integras nee earum aliquam partem
possunt habere" — the whole ploughing being therefore estimated
at not more than x acres per annum.
There were also 10 Liberi Tenentes in Prynkehamme, holding
altogether 378 acres.
These appear to have owed suit of court, reliefs and heriots only;
one of them however is described as holding a messuage and 40
acres " in servitio."
The Nativi of Limenesfeld were 20 in number and held altogether
about 193 acres.
The following, rendered by a tenant of a messuage and seven
acres, appear to have been the standard services :
To find a man and horse to harrow for one day at the Lenten sowing
called " Tyndesawe " ;
To find a man, during the carting of the manure from the lord's
fimarium, which generally lasted for 10 days, to fill the carts, working
every other day till the task was completed ;
To find a man for one day to spread the lord's hay ; for one day to lift
the hay ; and for two days to hoe corn ; and a man to assist in stacking
5 loads of hay;
To find a man at each of the three autumnal Precariae, and to thrash
two bushels of oats whenever the Abbot should come from Battle.
All the nativi who had plough-teams or any portion thereof were
also to plough and harrow at the two Precarise Carucarum like
the Liberi Tenentes, tod in addition to fetch seed from the lord's
granary and therewith to sow the land they had tilled. The whole

ANALYSIS AND NOTES. xlv
of the ploughing and harrowing at the two Precarise however
amounted only to four acres.
There were also 4 nativi in Prinkehamme holding together 128
acres ; three of these compounded for their services by a pecuniary
payment ; the fourth in addition to certain " averagia," for which
he seems to have compounded, was to find a horse and two oxen,
" qui medietatem unius curri faciunt," to cart the manure from the
fimarium so long as that operation lasted, generally for 20 days.
All the nativi both of Lymenesfeld and Prinkehamme appear to
have been subject to the usual restrictions as to the marriage of
their daughters &c. ; but on the death of a nativus his widow was
to retain only the half of the tenement held by him.
All the tenants both liberi and nativi whenever they brewed " ad
vendendum " were to send to the manor two gallons of the best
ale, which was called " Tolcester."
There were also a number of " Tenants at Will " of small
portions of land, most of whom paid rent only "pro omnibus."
The Extent of the Manor of Brodehamme, taken at the same
time and by the same jurors as that of Lymenesfeld, gives the
acreage of the demesne as follows :
31 acres 1 rood of wood.
217 acres, 3 roods of arable and pasture, with heath.
20 acres and 3 roods of meadow.
The arable and pasture land is valued at vij d. per acre and the
meadow at ij s. vj d.
There were in this manor 8 Liberi Tenentes, holding together
about 77 acres, 9 Nativi holding together 15 acres, and 5 Tenants
at Will of small holdings.
These, with one or two exceptions, owed suit of Court, reliefs,
and heriots, but no mention is made of any services to be rendered.

habemus nisi sextam decimam partem molendini, qua vero defuncta,
succedet nobis libere octava pars.
Et sciendum quod ista tria molendina solebant molere totum
