A HISTORY OF WARWICKSHIRE 



From these the Count of Meulan (Me/lend] has 6 sestars and 5 shil- 

 lings. 



The custom of Warwic(k) was that when the king goes by land on 

 an expedition 10 burgesses of Warwic(k) should go on behalf of (pro) all 

 the others. 



(He) who did not go when summoned used to pay 100 shillings 

 fine (emendabaf) to the king. 



If however the king were going against his enemies by sea (the 

 burgesses) used to send him either 4 boatswains (batsueins) or 4 pounds 

 of pennies. 1

1 Sic. The scribe having numbered two entries xxxviii did not think it worth while, or perhaps 

 was not permitted, to correct the second entry and the one which followed it, so solved the difficulty by 

 leaping straight from xxxix to xli.
