A HISTORY OF NOTTINGHAMSHIRE 



1 1 villeins having 4 ploughs and 1 2 acres of meadow. (There is) 

 nothing 1 in demesne. In King Edward's time it was worth 3 pounds, 

 (and it is worth) the same now. 



In Snotingeham the water of Trent and the Foss (Way) and 

 the road towards York are so guarded that if any one impedes the 

 passage of boats or if any one ploughs or makes a ditch within two 

 perches of the king's road he has to pay a fine of (emendare per) 8 

 pounds.' 



fol. a8ob 



In Snotingehamscyre and in Derbiscyre if the king's peace, given 

 under his hand or seal, be broken a fine is paid (emendatur) of (per) 18 

 hundreds. Each hundred (being) 8 pounds. The king has 2 parts of 

 this fine (emendationis) , the earl the third. That is, 12 hundreds pay to 

 the king and 6 to the earl. 



If any one be exiled according to law for any crime none but the 

 king can restore peace to him. 



A thegn having more than 6 manors does not give relief of his 

 land except 8 pounds to the king alone. If he has only 6 or less he 

 gives 3 marks of silver to the sheriff as relief wherever he dwells, in 

 the borough or without. If a thegn having sac and soc forfeit his land 

 the king and earl between them have half his land and money, and 

 his lawful wife with his legitimate heirs, if there be any, have the 

 other half. 



Here are noted those who had soc and sac and thol and thaim 

 and the king's dues (consuetudinem) of the two pennies. 3 



The Archbishop of York over his manors and the Countess Godeva 

 over Newerca [Newark] Wapentake and Ulf fenisc over his land ; the 

 Abbot of (Peter) Borough over Colingeham [Collingham] ; the Abbot 

 of Bertune [Burton]; Earl Hugh (of Chester) over Marcheton [Mar- 

 keaton, Derby] ; the Bishop of Cestre [Chester] ; Tochi ; Suen the son 

 of Suave ; Siward barn ; Azor the son of Saleva ; Ulfric cilt ; Elsi ; 

 Illinge ; Lewin the son of Alwin; the Countess Alveva; the Countess 

 Goda ; Elsi the son of Caschin over Werchesoppe [Worksop] ; Henry 

 de Ferrars over Ednodestune [Ednaston, Derby] and Dubrige [Doveridge, 

 Derby] and Breilesfordham [Brailsford, Derby]; Walter de Aincurt over 

 Granebi [Granby] and Mortune [Morton, Derby] and Pinnesleig [Pilsley, 

 Derby]. None of all these could have the earl's third penny except by 

 his grant, and that for as long as he should live, except the Archbishop 

 and Ulf fenisc and the Countess Godeva. 



Over the soc which belongs to Cliftune [Clifton] the earl ought to 

 have the third part of all customs and services (operum).
