THE DANEGELD AND THE LEET 

 SYSTEM IN SUFFOLK^ 



PREFATORY NOTE 



In the following Table an attempt has been made to ' reconstruct ' the SufFolk leets in accordance 

 with the theory suggested in the text. Although in many hundreds this ' reconstruction ' can 

 only be regarded as hypothetical, in several, notably in the hundreds of Lackford, Claydon, 

 Plomesgate, Wangford, and Wilford and the half-hundred of Parham, the system can still be 

 traced with an approach to certainty. In each case the model hundred, Thingoe, has been taken 

 as a guide, and the fiscal groups have, as far as possible, been made to correspond with contiguous 

 territorial areas.
