VALUES AND RENDERS 241 



36 sextars of honey, or 24 Ss. in lieu of the honey ; in 1086 

 the royal manors and the pleas of the shire produced 145 of 

 weighed money, and 24 sextars of honey," and the four sums 

 of 23, 10, jfi, and 5, as in Oxfordshire. 1 This is the 

 only case, except Shropshire and Worcester, of a lump sum 

 being stated which included all the dues paid from the 

 county to the King. The city of Hereford, and the eighteen 

 manors which rendered their farm into Hereford, produced 

 ;335 18^. ; but this sum did not, apparently, include the pro- 

 ceeds of the pleas of the hundreds and the shire. 2 The city 

 of Shrewsbury, and the whole shire and the manors that King 

 Edward had in the shire, were in the hands of Earl Roger in 

 1086, and produced ^"305 i$s. 3 But at that time the customs 

 of the King and earl in the four ridings of Lincolnshire 

 produced only ^79, 4 and the values of the royal manors in 

 that county are stated separately. It is noteworthy that the 

 Queen's gift of 8 ounces of gold was produced from the three 

 manors of Leighton Buzzard, Luton, and Houghton Regis, in 

 Bedfordshire, in addition to their renders of 6$ and a day 

 and a half s farm. They also produced 20 for a sumpter- 

 horse and the hounds, and other small dues, in addition to an 

 ounce of gold from each manor, which the sheriff exacted as 

 an " increment " or a premium for the lease thereof. 5
