The _Cro_ of the king’s son,—that is, the Tanist of the Irish Laws, or of an Earl of Scotland, who is thus placed in the same rank,—is seven score ‘ky’ and ten ‘ky.’ His _Kelchyn_ is three score ky and six ky and two parts of a cow; and for Blude drawn, nine ky. The _Cro_ of the son of an Earl, or of a Thane, who is placed in the same rank, is one hundred ky. His _Kelchyn_, forty-four ky and twenty-one pence and two-thirds of a penny; and for Blude drawn, six ky. The _Cro_ of the son of a Thane is three score ky and six ky and two parts of a cow. His _Kelchyn_ is less by a third than his father’s, and is twenty-nine ky and elevenpence and the third part of a halfpenny; and for Blude drawn, three ky. The _Cro_ of the nevow or grandson of a Thane, or of ane _Ogethearn_, is forty-four ky and twenty-one pence and two parts of a penny. His _Kelchyn_ is not given, but for Blude drawn it is two ky and two parts of a cow. We are then told that all these who are lower in the _kyn_ (parentela) are callit _Carlis_ (_rustici_, vilayn), and that the _Cro_ of a _Carl_ is sixteen ky, that he has no _Kelchyn_, and that the ‘Blud’ of a _Carl_ is one cow. We have also in this code a section ‘Of thaim that are slayn in the peace of the King and other lordis.’ ‘Giff ony man be slayn in the peis of our lord the Kyng, til him perteins nine score ky.’ If in the peace of the sone of the King or of an Earl, four score and ten ky. If in the peace of the son of an Earl or of a Thayn, three score ky. If in the peace of the son of a Thane, forty ky; and if in the peace of a nevo or grandson of a Thane, twenty ky and two parts of a cow.’[256] The names of the different ranks here are analogous to the Irish system, where the son of each grade occupied the rank of the next inferior grade.[257] The Earl was the Scottish _Mormaer_, the _Ri Mortuath_ of the Irish. The Thanus or thane was the _Toisech_. The _Ogethearn_ is the Irish word _Ogthighearna_, one of the names applied to the second class of the _Gradflatha_,[258] or those _Aires_ who received stock from a superior _Aire_. They were also called _Oglaochs_. The fines occupy an intermediate place between those of the Irish and of the Welsh Laws, but most resemble the latter; and the distinction between the free and bond classes and the rights of the _kyn_ are clearly indicated from the following addition it made to the account of the _Kelchyn_ fine:—‘If the wife of a freeman (liberi hominis) be slain, her husband shall have the _Kelchyn_, and her kyn shall have the _Cro_ and the _Galnes_. If the wife of a _Carl_ (_rustici_, vileyn) be slain, the lord in whose lands he dwells shall have the _Kelchyn_, and her _kyn_ shall have the _Cro_ and the _Galnes_.’
