VALUES AND RENDERS 231 



Black Bourton (Oxon.) was divided between three owners : 

 Roger of Ivri had two teams in demesne, and his tenants had 

 ten teams, and his estate was valued at 4 ; * Anschitil held 

 another portion of the vill, and had only two teams in 

 demesne and two slaves. This portion was valued at 2 ; 2 

 so that the value of Roger's share was increased by 4s. for 

 every team owned by his tenants ; Arnulf of Hesdin had 

 the third portion, with three teams in demesne and three 

 tenants' teams, which was valued at 4? Lew also was divided 

 between two owners : Walter Gifard had one team in demesne, 

 and his share was valued at 2os. ; 4 Aretius had one team in 

 demesne, and his tenants had another, but this property was 

 valued at 35 s., 5 and the increase of 15^. would appear to be 

 due to the presence of the team belonging to the tenants. 

 At Adderbury, Robert of Stafford had one team in demesne, 

 which was valued at 3OJ. 6 In the same vill the Bishop of 

 Winchester had four teams in demesne, and his tenants had 

 nineteen teams, and his estate was valued at 20? Evidently 

 the nineteen tenants' teams had increased the value of his 

 estate by 14. At Burwell (Cambs.) Alan had an estate 

 of 2^ hides, on which he had two teams in demesne, and 

 his tenants had three teams, and which in 1086 was valued at 

 4? In the same vill Geoffrey had an estate of ij hide, on 

 which he had only two teams in demesne, and which was 

 valued at 40^. So that the increased value of Alan's estate 

 was due to the presence of the tenants' teams, which added 

 1 35-. 4</. each to its value. 



Evidently each tenant's team added less value to an 

 estate than each team in demesne. But why should this 

 be so ? 



Reference to the Stoughton account on p. 228 will show 

 that the expenses of cultivation of land in demesne were
