SO many Statutes, Acts of State, Records, Law Books, and MSS. are extant in the Norman and old French Language, that a Dictionary is become neceflary to enable the Reader to underfland fuch difficult Words as occur therein in that Language ; whether fuch Difficulty ariies from the Words being merely idiomatical, or from the Inorthography of them. , There is indeed a Book called the Law French g Dictionary -, but it is fo trifling a Performance, and fo 2 incorrect, that it greatly mifleads the Reader, as will evidently appear to any one who will compare feveral j : of the Words in that Dictionary a with their Origi- oo •ft |Sh * As Oeptaz — Nov.

Even the Statutes themfelves, as found in our Books, are, I am afraid, in many Places too liable to the fame Cenfure ; a Specimen from the (hort Statute of Fines *, snd from the Statute of Acton f Burnell, will (hew this ; lieu -\ f Slivered r read la pees I translated "j the Peace rinfiead of ) the Concord fur la pie J *- by the County * L on the Foot* The Mention therefore of thefe PafTages, thus er- roneoufly tranflated, may be of fome Ule, I truft, to incite young Students to attain to a more perfect Knowledge of the antient Norman Law French ; for Tuftice Fortefcue, in his learned Preface prefixed to his Reports, and to the Treatife of Abfolute and Limit- ed Monarchy wrote by Sir John Fortefcue, Lord Chief Juftice of England under Henry VI. fays, that with- out being acquainted with this Language, wherein fo much of our Laws yet in force is written, a Man can- not pretend to the Name of a Lawyer •, and as many of the Public Acts which are in Latin in Rymer's Fcedera are not, in the Judgment of Kapin, to be underrtood without the Ailiftance of Ducange or Spelmm •, I may venture to fay, that great Numbers of the fame Kind of Instruments found there in the old French Language are not lefs difficult for want of fome Dictionary of that Language. Lven fo late as the Time of Queen Elizabeth, when one would have thought that almoit all Barbarifms had been abolifhed, * 1 8 Edvjrard I. f Pri/lcs lour avers, borrowed their Cattk t inflead of Money, we THE DICTIONARY. vii we find Treaties drawn up, and Secretaries of State, Ambafladors, and Kings in her Reign, correfponding in a very uncouth Stile; for I believe there are very few Readers/ who, tout d'uncoup, will underftand fuch Words as " de repes — arrable-z, plieur—panures— " rovenereray — truer ant — leuryauxi — unglos — fyny- n uemant — auplkies — delleanfes — Vadutent — faint e- " mant — avabler—- oifuir — fans anvifer — fefcrine — " acharuez — au oult ;" with many others equally obiblete, and which are not explained in any Dictio- nary. Yet this Collection, exten five as I have endea- voured to make it, does not, I muft confefs, take in every difficult or obfolete Norman French Word j feveral of this Kind are purpofely omitted, on account of the Senfe of them not readily occurring, and are left for fome more able Hand to investigate ; others alfo will, without Doubt, be met with in fome Books and Manufcripts which have efcaped my Reading : though I perfuade myfelf the Number will not be very confiderable ; and that it may with Truth be faid, that very few of the antient Norman French Words which occur in this Work, are to be met with elfe- where. This Compilation, the Reader will pleafe to obferve, is confined to fuch Words of the old French Language as occur chiefly in Rymer's Fcedera, our Statutes, Parliament Rolls, Journals, Records, Law Books, and, Hiftorians ; for as to thofe which are to be met with in ancient Writers of the French Nation, and in the Provencal Poets and Romances, they are foreign to our Purpofe ; and may be found in the Dictionary lately compiled by the learned M. La Combe *, in 2 Volumes : Nor have I traced the Norman French Lan- guage up to its Origin, this being alio already dune by • Diftionnaire du Vievix Langage Franpis, par M, La Combe, \ Paris, \ 766, the viii PREFACE. » /■ the above Author, and feveral others who have pro- fefiedly written on that Subject. It would probably likewife not have been unenter- taining, and at the fame Time more fatisfactory to fome Readers, to have given, as Menage and others have done, the PafTages and Sentences at length, from thofe Records, Books, and Manufcripts, from which moll of the Words in this Colle&ion are taken; this indeed would have helped to point out the dif- ferent Epochs when fuch and fuch Words firft affumed fuch a Senfe, as well as given the Reader an Oppor- tunity of comparing the Words themfelves with the Context ; but this Parade would have rendered the Work much larger, and I am afraid too expenfive. IVIy only View, in making this Compilation, is to pro- mote Hidorical Knowlege, and enable the Studious to read with Satisfaction, and uhderltand, thole many in- teresting and curious Records difperfed in our Adts of State ; and particularly in the Pailiament Rolls (which under the Sanction of the I.egiQature have been lately publifhed), Law Books, and Historians, and which, for want of fome Affiftance of this Kind, lofe much of their Force : if this End is anfwered without making thofe numerous Quotations which the obfervingthe above Order would have occafioned, ][ hope, the Want of it will be readily excufed.

( "i ) PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE, TO THE L AWS OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. THE Laws of William I. having at various Times engaged Men of very great Learning and Abilities in different Countries, in tranflating them into foreign Languages •, I hope I need not apologize for endeavouring to give a more perfect Tranflation of them into our own Tongue, than has yet been done. The great Selden, in his Notes on Eadmer, was the firft who attempted to render thefe Laws into Latin ; but he left many Parts of them (on account of the Rudenefsof the Norman Tongue) untranflated as he found them. The very learned Ducange, at the Inftance of Gabriel Gerberon, of the Benedictine Or- der, who publifhed the Works of Saint Anfelm, tranf- lated the whole of thefe Laws into the fame Lan- guage, which Tranflation is added at the End of Gerberon's Edition. Dr. Wilkins, in his Code of anti- ent Laws, amongft which he has inferted thefe of William, has likewife tranflated them into Latin, neither intirely adopting the Verfion of Selden or Ducange ; but frequently varying from both. a 2 Monf. IV PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE TO THE Mr. Houard, a learned Advocate of the Parlia- ment of Normandy, has, among his antient Laws of the French, given us, in oppofite Columns, thefe Laws of William, with Selden's and Ducange's Tranf- lations in Latin, and his own in French. Mr. Tyrrell and Mr. Mortimer have tranflated fome of thefe Laws into Englifh, and given the Sub- ftance of others of them in their Hiftories of Eng- land. They bear a venerable Afpect, and are the only Laws extant in the Norman Idiom of that Age. The Title prefixed to thefe Laws of William, im- ports that they are the fame a as thofe which King a They are conjectured by Selden to have been a Copy of thofe Laws,*which by public authority had been reviewed and confirmed in the fourth year of William's reign ; and that the time ot In- gulphus's taking them down to his Abby was after the 15th year of William's reign, Seld. ad Eadmerum, 172 ; and which Sir Roger Twyfden has fixed at the 21ft, Wilk. 21b. The MSS of Ingulphus's Hiftory of Crowland, with thefe Laws at the end, were, as Salden informs us, in his time, pre- ferred at Crowland, but that, notwithftanding all his endea- vours, he could not procure the ufe of it ; that he therefore pub- limed thefe Laws from a MS of them in his own cuilody ot about 200 years more recent date. Seld. 172,173. Sir Roger Twyfden had another MS of thefe Laws, differing but very little from that of Selden's ; as likewife had Sir Robert Cotton. Wilkins 211.

V Edward, his Kinfman, had obferved before him : but tii is ract being called in Queftion by the above learn- ed Advocate in his Preliminary b Difcourfe prefixed to the antient Laws of the French, it will, in order to maintain the Truth of the Title prefixed to thefe I aws, be nece'Iary from our own Lawyers and Hifto- rians to give a (hort Account of the principal Founders and Reftorers of the Saxon Laws ; and, to fhew how thole Laws ltood at the Entrance of William 1, iome Explanatory Notes alio are added to the Laws of Wil- lia-r:, and References made from each of them to the Anglo-Saxonic Laws. Theie will mutually illuftrate each other, and we hope will prove that the AfTertions laid down by Houard are not well fupported. The chief Founders and Reltorcrs of the Saxon Laws, wer Ina, Alfred, Edgar, and Edward the Con- fefibr. Wnen King Alfred fucceeded to the Monar- chy of England, founded by his Grandfather Egbert, he collfdted the various Cuftoms he found difperfed in the Kingdom, and reduced aud digefted them into one uniform Syitem or Code of Laws in his dome book , or Liber judiciahs •, this he compiled for the Ufe of the Court Baron, Hundred, and County Court, the Court Lect, and the Sheriffs Tourn ; Tribunals which heellablifhed for the Trial of all Caufes civil and cri- minal, in the very Diftricls wherein the Complaint arofe ; all of them fubject however to be infpecled, controlled, and kept within the Bounds of the univer- fal or Common Law, by the King's own Courts ; which were then itinerant, being kept in the King's Palace, and removing with his Lloulehold in thofe b Anciennes Loix des Francois confervees dans les Coutumes Angloifes recueillies par Littleton, par M.

And this Book we may probably fuppofe to have contained the prin- cipal Maxims of the Common Law, the Penalties for Mifdemefnors, and the Forms of judicial Proceedings; but though it is faid to have been extant fo late as the Reign of King Edward IV, it is now unfortunately loft, i Black. 64. — i Black. 404. This Code was called the WeJI-Saxon Lage, or Laws of the Welt-Saxons, and obtained in the Coun- ties to the South and Weft of the Ifland from Kent to Devonfhire. The local Conftitutions of the antient Kingdom of Mercia, which were obferved in many of the Midland Counties and thofe bordering on the Principality of Wales, and probably abounded with many Britifn or Druidical Cuftoms, were called the Mercen Lage, or Mercian Laws. The Cuftoms which had been introduced on the Danifh Invafion and Conqueft, and which were prin- cipally maintained in the North, in the reft of the Midland Counties, and alfo on the Eaftern Coaft, went under the Name of Dane Lage or Danilh Law. Thefe three Laws were, about the beginning of the nth Century, in Ufe in different Counties of the Realm ; but King Edgar obferving the ill Effects of thefe three dittindt Bodies of Laws prevailing at once in feparate Parts of his Dominions, projected and began one uniform Digeft or Body of Laws, to be observed throughout the whole Kingdom. Edward the Confeftbr, his Grandfon, afterwards completed this Defign ; but probably this was no more than a Revival of King Alfred's Code, with fome Improvements fuggefted by NeceiTity and Ex- perience ; particularly the incorporating fome of the Britifh, or rather Mercian Cuftoms, and alfo fuch of the Danifh as were reafonable and approved, into the 2, IVe/t. LAWS OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. Vll Weft -S axon- L age, which was ftill the Ground-work of the whole : This, Blackftone tells us, appears to him the beft fupported and moft plaufible Conjecture (for Certainty is not to be expected) of the Rife and Original of that admirable Syftem of Maxims and unwritten Cufloms, which is now known by the Name of the Common Law, as extending its Authority univerfally over all the Realm ; and which is doubtlefs of Saxon Parentage. 4 Black. 404. This Edward the ConfefTor effected without Tu- mult or Contradiction ; all thefe three different Laws holding an Uniformity in Subflance, and differing rather in the Quantity of Fines and Amerciaments, than in the Courfe and Frame of Juftice. Spelm. Rem. 49. Fortelcue, indeed, is of Opinion, that thofe Laws could not be at that Time confolidated and thrown into one Body of Laws, becaufe each of thofe Species of Laws were in Force after, and are to be found, not only in Edward the ConfefTor's, but all over Wil- liam the Firft's Laws. And not only Mulcts and Fines fet, according to the Dane-Laga, Saxon-Laga, and Mercen-Laga ; but Cuftoms and Ufages fet out to- be obferved according to thofe different Laws. So that he thinks it muff be meant only, that Edward the ConfefTor made a Collection out of thofe Laws then extant, as Alfred did before him; and that, ordering thofe to be obferved, which had not been obferved in the fliort Reigns of Harold and Hardica- nute, he may well enough be called the Reflorer of the Englifh Laws. Thus flood the Laws of England at the Entry of William I. ; and it fcems plain that the Laws com- monly called the Laws of Edward the Confefibr were at that Time the {landing Laws of the Kingdom, and confidered as the great Rule of their Rights and Li- berties ; and that the Englifh were lb zealous for them. yill PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE TO THE them, that they were never fatisfied till the faid Laws were reinforced and mingled for the moft Part with the Coronation Oath. Hale's Hift. p. 85, 86. Accordingly, we find that this great Conqueror, at his Coronation on the Chriftmas-day iucceeding his Victory, took an Oath at the Altar of St. Peter Weft- minfter, in Senfe and Subftance the very fame with jthat which the Saxon Kings ufed to take at their Coronations ; adding further, that he would make no Diftinftion between the Englifh and French. Fort. Pref. 26. Arg. Ant. p. 12. Of all the feveral Species of Laws, the Dane Lage pleafed William beft ; and he declared, that as his Anceftors and moft of his Norman Barons came from Norway, and were of Norwegian Extraction, he ought to govern the Realm by thefe Laws. However, he was at lad, by Tears, and Prayers, and Adjurati- ons by the Soul of Edward, who bequeathed him his Kingdom, diverted from his Purpofe; and at Berkhamftead, in the 4th Year of his Reign, in the Preftnce of Lanfranc Abp. of Canterbury, for the quieting of the People, he fwore, that he would in- violably obferve the good and approved antient Laws which had been made by the devout and pious Kings of England, his Anceftors, and chiefly by King Ed- ward ; and we are told, that the People then departed in good Humour. William 1. having now folemnly bound himfelf to govern chiefly by the Laws of Edward the Confeflbr, ic became neceflary, as his Followers were Foreigners, and Strangers to the Englifh Laws and Cuftoms, to have them ascertained, and for this Purpofe he fum- moned 12 Saxons from every County, to inform him and his Lords upon Oath, what the antient Laws were ; and Alured Abp. of York, who had crowned Wil- liam, and Hugh, Bifhop of London, by the King's 4 Command, LAWS OF WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. IX Command, wrote down with their own Hands the Keturn made by thefe Jurors. And to bring the Matter dill nearer Home, In- gulphus, who was an Englifhman, who had been Secretary to the Conqueror, and afterwards made by him Abbot of Crowland, has tranfmitted to Pofterity this Account of his Laws. " I brought this Time " with me (fays he) from London to my Monaftery " the Laws of the mod juft King Edward, which " my Lord William, the renowned King of England, '* had proclaimed to be authentic, and to be always " inviolably obferved through the moft grievous Pe- " nalties, and commended them to his Juftices in the " fame Tongue they were fet forth, left through Ig- " norance we or ours might happen to offend."

Having given an Account how the Laws flood at the Entrance of William I ; we will now lay before the Reader what Houard has advanced in Oppo- fition thereto, and make fome Obfervations on thofe Paflfages. His AfTertions, amongft others to the like Effect, are thefe : 1. Guillaume le Conquer ant defendit fes nouveaux Sujets de fuivre d'autres Coutumes que celles de fon pre- mier domaine. Difc. Prelim, p. 23.31. William the Conqueror forbad his new Subjects to follow any other Cuftoms than thofe of Nor- mandy. Our Obfervation on this is, that as William at his Coronation fwore that he would govern by the Laws of Edward the ConfefTor, confirmed thefe Laws by his Charter to the Citizens of London, and renew- ed this Oath afterwards at Berkhamited •, it can never be imagined that after fuch Solemnities all thefe Laws X PRELIMINARY DISCOURSE TO THE Laws were cancelled and abolifhed : and indeed wc have on the contrary, many Proofs from our Hifto- rians of the Obfervance of the Laws of Edward in his Reign. 2. Les Loix de Guillaume riont rien emprunte des Loix d' Edward. Difcours Prelim, p. 32. The Laws of William have borrowed nothing from thofe of Edward the Confeflbr. Here we mud remark, that Ducange, who tranflat- ed thefe very Laws, fays, that William did not dic- tate to the Englifh new Laws, fo much as confirm the old, efpecially the Laws of Edward, to which he made ibme Additions. Ducange, Dift. Lex Angl. Vol. ii. p. 265. Thefe Laws of William comprifethe Ordinances of the Kings Ina and Ethelred, and more efpecially of Canute. Wilk. Leg. Angl. Saxon, p. 229.

Lacombe, in the Preface to his Supplement to the Dictionary du vieux Langage Francois, fpeaking of William the Conqueror, fays, " Ses Ordonnances " font les memes que celles d'Edouard fon Predecef- " feur." Pref. p. 13. His Laws are the fame as thofe of Edward his Predecefibr. 3. A I'avenement de Guillaume au 'Trone, les Loix Saxonnes etoient abrogees depuis long temps en Angle t err e.

The Saxon Laws had been abrogated a long Time in England before William I. came to the Crown. The Laws of Edward, which preferved no Traces of thofe Laws, had fucceeded in their Room. Surely LAWS Of WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR. XI Surely nothing can be further from the Truth than this. All Hiftorians agree, that the Laws which "William I. fwore to obferve, were, " bonse et approbate an- " tiquae Regni Leges," the good, approved, and an- tienc Laws of the Realm. Pref. 8 Coke. That thefe Laws were no other than the Laws of Edward the Confeflbr ; and that, fo far from not pre- ferving any Traces of the Saxon Laws, Coke fays, they contain the Subftance of all thofe ; and that what was Law in thofe Days is ftill the fame in feveral Inftances. Pref. to 6 Coke. This will appear from the Laws themfelves, for many of the Laws of Edward the Confeflbr are the very fame as in former Saxon Kings ; and many Ex- prefllons and Words, and moft of the Terms in Wil- liam Ps Laws, are mere Saxon, and derived from that Language, but put into Norman French. For- tefcue's Pref. to Reports. The Common Law, though fomewhat altered and impaired by the Violence of the Times, has in a great Meafure weathered the rude Shock of the Norman Conqueft. Black.

This Norman Jurift fecms to have a very imperfect and inadequate Idea of what we underftand by the Common Law, when he tells us, it is the Law efta- blifhed by William the Conqueror. Let us confult our own Lawyers and Hiftorians, and they will in- form us, it was called Folc-Right in the Saxons Times-, that Alfred, Edgar, and Edward the Confef- for, were the great Compilers and Reftorers of the Engiifh Laws ; and thatthefe are the Laws which our Anceftors ftruggled fo hardly to maintain under the firft Princes of the Norman Line, and which fo vigo- roufly withftood the repeated Attacks of the Civil Law j and that thele (and not the Law eftablifhed by William) gave Rife and Original to that Collection of Maxims and Cuftoms which is now known by the Name of the Common Law. i Black. 66. To thefe Laws, William, at the latter End of his Reign added fome of his own, which were the Means of eitablifhing the Feudal Syftcm in this Nation ; and, by his Charter, he commanded that all his Sub- jects inould enjoy the Laws of King Edward in all Things, with thole Additions which he had appoint- ed for the Good of the Englilh.

This cuftom was derived to us, in common with other northern nations, from our anceitors, the ancient Germans. In the Laws of King Athelftan, we find the feveral Wercgllds for homicides ellabliihed in progreflive order from the death of the ceorl orpealant, up to that of the King himfelt ; the Weregild of a ceorl was 266 thrymfa-, that of the King 30,000 ; each thrymfa being equal to about one milling of our prefent money ; and in the Laws of Hen. I. we have an acountof what offences were then re- deemable by Weregild, and what were not fo. When the ranfom was fettled, the offender was to find Were Pledges for the payment of it at ftated times, and then he was re- ltored to the King's peace ; but if he could not find any pledges, he was doomed to perpetual bondage. This Weregild) when the crime was homicide, was divided into feveral parts, and paid under different denominations ; one propor- tion of it was paid to the kindred, another to the King, and another to the Lord. It the party denied the fact, then he was to purge himfelf by the oaths ol feveral perfons, according to his degree and quality. io» What 2.6 1EGES GULIELM1 COtfQUESTORIS. 10.

So likewife the Normans conceiving the Saxon Heriot to be the fame that their Norraan Relief was, the}- translated the word Heriot by the Releviament^m or Relevium, and raifing the rorni or their Feudal Law in England, drew the Saxon Cuitoms to cohere there* with as much as might be; but as Sir Henry Spelman obferves, there is vreat difference between Heriots and Rciiets.

It was not difficult then for this Monarch to caufe to be inferted among the Statutes of Edward fome Maxims which bore Relation to the Cuftoms of Normandy, which he had refolved to fublHtute in their Place ; and the Tranflation which he caufed to be made of thefe Statutes into the Norman Language iurnifhed him with an eafy Means of attaining that End. For, under Pretence of render- ing intelligible certain Rights peculiar to the Englifh, he made ufe ot Terms which were appropriated to ligniry fome Norman Rights which had only remote Connections with the others ; and the Con- formity in Terms infenlibly occafioned thefe different Rights, to which they had been indiicri minutely applied, to be confounded. Our anfwer to thefe Affertions is, that it is very true that Wil- liam added the Laws, by which feudal Tenures were eftablifhed, to thofe of Edward; but then heat the fame Time exprefsly or- dained that the Laws ot Edward Ihould " in omnibus rebus" w : .*h thofe additional Laws, be obferved ; thefe laft are fuppofed to have been enacted feveral Years after the Publication ot Edward's Laws, and they are in Latin, and not in Norman French. The Titles make no Part ot the Original, they being added by Selden ; but if they were, it is prefumed that the 43d Law cannot be one of thofe new Laws, as this learned Author conjectures ; for the Term Namps a Dillrefs, though made ufe ot by the Normans, comes from the Saxon Verb namian, caperc, to take ; and like many other of our Law Terms, which although they leem to be French, are only dif- guifed in a Norman Drefs, and really have a Saxon Original ; and as in the Grand Cuftumiere or Normandy there is a Chapter of Nantpes, there is great Reafon to believe that the Normans borrowed this and many other of their Laws from the Englifh, inltead ot the Englilh from them, as Motif.

[ 8o ] INTRODUCTORY PREFACE To the 52a 1 , 55th, 58th, 59th, and 63d, LAWS ok WILLIAM the CONQUEROR. MY firft Intention was only to have tranflatcd the Laws of William I. which are in the Norman Tongue ; but as the Landed Pjoperty of England under- went fo great an Alteration by his EfFblifhment of the Feudal Syftem, I judged it mifjht afford fome Entertain- ment to the Reader to take a View of the above Laws of William in Latin, which efTec"u d this great Change ; for this purpofe I have given a Translation of them, and added fome Notes from various Authors who have confidered thefe Law?. William I. foon after his Conqueft transferred aim oft all the Lands of England to his Followers, and nude them In- heritances defcendible according to the Norman Law: but as thofe which remained inEngiifh Hands would have gone on in the old Cotrrfe, and been free from the Burthen of I' eudal Tenure, it was ncceflary to proceed fome what fur- ther; for this Purpofe, in fome fubfer.uent Part of his Peign, tiie commune Concilium of the Nation was convened, and Laws made, which, in the Event, altered the Military Policy of the Kingdom, abolifhed the trinoda Nscjjitas, and made the Lands of the Englifh and of the Church liable to Knights Service, as he had done the Lmds granted to the Normans; and the Syftem was thereby rendered uniform. The ./Era of formally introducing the Feodal Tenures by Law into this Nation,' is not free from Ihrcrtainty. Sulli- van places this in the 4th Year of King William's Reign ; but Blackitonc, from the Saxon Chronicle, is of Opinion it was in the ictb, the latter h'nd of the Year 3086, when William was attended by all his Nobles at Sarum, and all the principal Landholders did him Homage and Fealty; and lie thinks it probable that the very Law thus made at that Council, is the yj.d Law of this King; and that the Per- formance of the Military Feodal Services, as ordained by that general Council, are exacted by the cXth Law.

By the Feudal Law, no Vaflal was obliged to ferve his Lord in War, unlefs it was a defenfive War, or one he thought a juit one ; nor for any Territories belonging to his Lord that was not a Part of the Seigniory of which he held ; but this would not eiFechiady ferve lor the Defence of William. He was Duke of Normandy, which he held trom France; and he knew the King of that Country was very jealous ot tne extraordinary Ac- t( ifion of Power he had gained by his new territorial Acquilition, and would take every Occaiion, juft or unjuit, of attacking him there; in Oiorr, that he mult he always in a State of War. Such an Obli- gation on his Tenants, 01 ferving every where, was of the higheft Confequence tor him to obtain : nor was it difficult ; as moil of them alfo ha.!

William, and his Son Rufus, had introduced many ill Cuiroms, and opprefled the Military Tenants to a great Degree ; fo tha' Hen. I. in order to ingratiate himlelt with his Subjects, granted them, on the Day ot his Coronation, a Charter, by which all ill Cufionis, &c. were 10 be removed. This Charter, Dr. Brady thinks, was intended as a Relaxation or Abatement of the Feudal Norman Law praot.fcd by his Father and Brother in exacting great Reliefs, and concerning the Wardship ot Orphan?, and dilpoling of them and Widows in Marriage ; but that, at the lame time, this Charter was an Indulgence granted to the "Norman Englijb, fuch as lived in England, rather than to the ancient Natives, or t'axon EngHJb.

Thefe Eftates, in the Saxon Times, had, in general, been the ab» folute Properties of the Owner ; they could be aliened at Pleafure, they could be devifed by Will, were fubjecl to no Exactions on the Death of the Owner, but a very moderate fettled Heriot paid by the Executor. In the mean Time, on the Death of the Anceftor, the Heir entered without waiting for the Approbation of the Lord, or paying any Thing for it; and his Heir, if there was no Will, was all the Sons jointly. No Wardship or Marriage was due or ex- acted, if the Heir was a Minor. Now, by the Feudal Cuftoms be- ing introduced, no Alienation without an exorbitant Fine for a Li- cence, no Will or Teftamcnt concerning them, availed any Thing : Aids towards knighting his eldeft Son, or marrying his eldclt Daugh- ter, not to forget the Ranfom of his own Perfon, are become indi'*- penfable Duties. The Heir on the Death of his Anceftor, if of full Age, was plundered of the firft Emoluments arifing from his Inheri- tance, by way of Relief and primer Jeifin ; and, if under Age, of the whole or' his Eftatc during Infancy. And then, as Sir Thomas Smith very feelingly complains, " when he came to his own, after ht " was out of Warjjliip, his Woods decayed, Houfes fallen down, " Stock waded and gone, Lands let forth and ploughed to be 11 barren," to make Amends, he was yet to pay Haifa Year's Pre* fits as a Fine for filing out his Lively; and alio the Price or Value of his Marriage, if he refilled fuch Wife as his Lord and Guardian had bartered for, and impofed upon him ; or twice that Value if he married another Woman. Add to this, the untimely and expenfive Honour of Knighthood, to make his Poverty more compleatly fplendid. And when, by thefe Deductions, his Fortune was fo fluttered and ruined, that perhaps he was obliged to fell his Pa- trimony, he had not even that poor Priviledge allowed him, with- out paying ss above an exorbitant Fine for a Licence of Alienation.
