。 III; 29; and T。 3 Edw。 III; 29。

41。 Bract。 Note…book; pl。 834 and 1122 concern the royal manors of Havering and Kingston。

42。 I say against all men; because in the case of a stranger's interfering with the privileged villain's rights; it was for him to prove any exemption; e。 g。 conveyance by charter; which would take the matter out of the range of the manorial court。

43。 Britton; ii。 13: 'Et pur ceo qe nous voloms qe ils eyent tele quiete; est ordeyne le bref de droit clos pledable par baillif del maner de tort fet del un sokeman al autre; qe il tiegne les plaintifs a droit selom les usages del maner par simples enquestes。'

44。 Natura brevium; f 4 b (ed。 Pynson)。

45。 Stoneleigh Reg。: 'Si dominus a sokemanis tenentibus suis exigat alias consuetudines quam facere consueuerunt quum manerium fuit in manibus progenitorum Regis eos super hoc fatigando et distringendo; prefati tenentes habent recuperare versus dominum et balliuos suos per breve Regis quod vocatur Monstraverunt nobis homines de soka de Stonle;' etc。

46。 Viner; Abr。 Anc。 Dem。 C2 3。

47。 Fitzherbert; Abr。 Monstraverunt; 5 (P。 19; Edw。 III): 'Seton: Cest un cas a par luy en cest breue de Monstrauerunt qe un purra sue pur luy e tous les autres del ville tout ne soient pas nosmes en le breve e par la suite de un tous les autres auront auantage et cesty qe vient purra estre resceu e respondra par attourne pur touts les auters coment qe unque ne resceu lour attournement; issint qe cest suit ne breue nest semblable a auter。'

48。 As it was the peasants had the greatest difficulty in conducting these cases。 In 1294 some Norfolk men tried to get justice against Roger Bigod; the celebrated defender of English liberties。 They say that they have been pleading against him for twenty years; and give very definite references。 The jury summoned declares in their favour。 The earl opposes them by the astonishing answer that they are not his tenants at all。 It all ends by the collapse of the plaintiffs for no apparent reason; they do not come into court ultimately; and the jurors plead guilty of having given a false verdict; see App。 VII。 In the case of the men of Wycle against Mauger le Vavasseur; to which I have referred several times; the trial dragged on for five years; the court adjourned the case over and over again; the defendant did not pay the slightest attention to prohibitions; but went on ill…treating the tenantry。 At last he carried off a verdict in his favour; but the management of the trial certainly casts much suspicion on it。 Cf Placitorum Abbreviatio; 303。

49。 Madox; History of the Exch。; i。 723; c; d; 724; e; 725; f。

50。 Bract。 Note…book; pl。 1237: 'Homines prioris Sti Swithini。。。 questi fuerunt Dom。 Regi。'

51。 Madox; Exch。; i。 725; u; the 'Monstraverunt' of the men of King's Ripton quoted above on the question of tallage。 This matter of tallage could certainly be treated as an alteration of services; and sent for trial to the Common Bench。

52。 Exch。 Memoranda; Q。 R。 48/49 Henry III; m。 11。 The position of the castle of Bamborough was certainly a peculiar one at the time。 Cf Close Roll; 49 Henry III; m。 7; d。

53。 Exch。 Memoranda; Q。 R。 Trin。 20 Edw。 I; m。 21; d。 I give the documents in full in App。 VIII。 The petitioners are not villains; but they are tenants of base tenure。 They evidently belong to the class of villain socmen outside the ancient demesne; of which more hereafter。

54。 Placitorum Abbrev。 25: 'Consideratum est quod constabularius de Windesore de quo homines de Bray questi fuerunt quod ipse vexabat eos de serviciis et consuetudinibus indebitis et tallagia insueta ab eis exigebat accipiat ab eis tallagia consueta et ipsi homines alia servicia et consuetudines quas facere solent faciant。' (Pasch。 et Trin。; I John。)

55。 Madox; Exch。 I。 41 I; U: 'Homines de Branton reddunt compotum de x libris; ut Robertus de Sachoill eis non distringat ad faciendum ei alias consuetudines quam Regi facere consueverunt dum fuerunt in manu sua。' (Pipe Roll 13 Jo。; 7; 10 b; Devenesc)。

56。 Dugdale; Monasticon。 v。 443; Stonleigh Reg。 f 14 b。 Cf Court Rolls of Ledecumbe Regis (Chapter House; County Bags; Berks; A。 3): 'Anno domini MCCLXVIII; solverunt homines de Ledecumbe Regis C。 sol。 ad scaccarium domini Regis; pro redditu domini Regis et predicti homines habent residuum in custodia sua excepta porcione prioris Montis Acuti de tempore Suo et porcione prioris de Bermundseye de tempore suo。' The manor had been let in fee farm to the monks of Cluny; who demised it to the Prior of Montacute; who in his turn let it to the Prior of Bermondsey。

57。 Stoneleigh Reg。 f 15 a: 'Totam sokam de Stonleya et omnes redditus et consuetudines et rectitudines quas Henricus rex pater noster ibi habuit salua regali justicia nostra。 Uigore quarum chartarum prefatus Abbas et conventus habent et possident totam sokam de Stonle que quondam pertinuit ad le Bury (sic) in dicta soka existens edificatum; ubi quidam comes quondam de licencia Regis moram traxit。 Qui locus nune edificiis Carens vocatur le Burystede iuxta Crulefeld prout fossatis includitur; et est locus nemorosus。'

58。 Stoneleigh Reg。 f 13 a: 'Isti duo tenent (burgagia in Warrwick) per seruicium sustinendi unum plumbum in manerio de Stonle competens monasterio Regis。'

59。 Placita de Quo Warranto; 778: 'Item clamat quod Ballivus dom。 Regis in manerio de Stonleye nullam faciet districtionem seu attachiamenta sine presencia Ballivi Abbatis。 '

60。 See App。 VI。

61。 Stoneleigh Reg。 13 a: 'W。 W。 tenet unum burgagium per seruicium inveniendi domino regi seniori domino de Stonle quartam partem unius tripodis。'

62。 King's Ripton Court Rolls; Augment。 Off。 Rolls; xxiii。 94; m。 10: 'Dicta Matildis optulit se versus Margaretam Greylaund de placito dotis; que non venit。 Ideo preceptum est capere in manum domini Regis medietatem mesuagii etc。  pro defectu ipsius Margarete。 Eadem Matildis optulit se uersus Willelmum vicarium qui non uenit。 Ideo preceptum est capere in manum domini Regis medietatem quinque acrarum terre etc。 (Curia de Riptone Regis die Lune in festo sanctorum Protessi et Marciniani anno 'r。 r。 E。 xxiv。 et J。 abb。 x'); m。 10; d。  Qui venit et quantum ad aliam acram dicit; quod non est tenens set quod Abbas seysiuit illam in manum suam。 (Curia  in festo Assumpcionis  anno supra dicto)。' In the first case the seizure corresponds to the 'cape in manum' of a freehold。 As there could be no such thing in the caSe of villainage; and the procedural seizure was resumption by the lord; the point is worth notice and may be explained by the King's private right still lingering about the manor。 The last case is one of escheat or forfeiture。

63。 Stoneleigh Reg。 75 v: 'Item si aliquis deforciatur de tenemento suo et tulerit breve Regis clausum balliuis manerii versus deforciantes; dictum breve non debet frangi nisi in curia。'

64。 Natura brevium; 13: 'Balliuis suis。'

65。 Britton; i。 221: 'Rois aussi ne porrount rien aliener les dreits de lour coroune ne de lour reaute; qe ne soit repellable par lour successours。'

66。 Stoneleigh Reg。 30: 'Nos attendentes; quod huiusmodi alienaciones et consuetudinum mutaciones eciam in nostri et heredum nostrorum preiudi。 cium et exheredacionem cedere possent; si manerium illud in manus nostras aliquo casu deuenerit sustinere nolumus sicut nec debemus manerium illud aut ea que ad illud pertinent aliter immutari quam esse solebant temporibus predictis。 '

67。 The writs are directed sometimes to the bailiffs of the Archbishop of Canterbury and of the Duke of Albemarle; who had the manor in custody for King Richard II; but in the twenty…third year they are inscribed to the King's bailiffs。 (Augmentation Court Rolls; xiv。 38)。 As to the trial mentioned in the text see App。 IX。

68。 Stoneleigh Reg。 II a: 'Precipio tibi quod sine dilacione deliberes Abbati de Stonleia omnes terras et tenuras quas ego dedi et carta mea confirmaui。 Et de terra quam rustici uersus calumpniantur et quam ego ei dedi et concessi; inquire si rectum in ea habuerunt et si rectum in ea habent; dona eis rusticis alibi in terra mea excambium ad valenciam。'

69。 Bracton; f 209: 'Ad quemcumque manerium peruenerit。'

70。 Madox。 Firma Burgi; 54; Pipe Rolls; passim。 Cf Rot。 Cur。 Regis Ric。; p。
