 The excess of the king's and the villeins' assessments 

 (which amount together to I hide 3 virgates) over the 

 total assessment of I hide 2^ virgates, suggests that the 

 J virgate of Chilsworthy (fol. 481) had been taken out 

 of the villeins' assessment. On the other hand, the 

 king's exemption being 3^ hides in this hundred 

 (GeldroU, fol. 65, A, i), whereas the assessments of 

 'Toritona' if hides, and 'Haldeurdi' I hide 2J vir- 

 gates, together only amount to 3 hides 1^ virgates, 

 suggests that the half-virgate of Chilsworthy must have 

 been there treated as royal demesne.
