We find during this period that these dues and services were derived by the king from the Crown lands, and by the superiors from lands not held feudally. Thus King David grants to the monks of Dunfermline the tithe of his whole _Can_ from Fif and Fothrif, likewise the tithe of his _Can_ of Clacmannan, and the half of his tithe of Ergaithel (Argyll) and Kentir in that year, to wit, in which he receives _Can_ from it, and these grants are repeated by his successor Malcolm IV.[278] King David likewise grants to the church of Urchard (Urquhart) the tithe of the _Can de Ergaithel de Muref_, that is, that part of the great province of Ergadia or Ergaithel which belonged to Moray, extending from the Leven to the border of North Argyll.[279] King William confirms to the bishop of Moray the _Cana et Coneveta_ which his predecessors had received from those who held land of the bishops during the time of King David and King Malcolm;[280] and in an agreement in 1225 between the bishop and Walter Cumyn of Badenoch, the bishop frees him from any claim he had for the tithe of the _Can_ of his lord the king from the lands of Badenoch.[281] In Aberdeenshire we find the Earl of Mar granting to the bishop of St. Andrews the tithe of the ‘redditus’ or _Can_ of his whole lands;[282] and Thomas the Hostiary gives to the canons of Monimusk ten bolls of meal and ten stones of cheese from his lands of Outherheicht, which is afterwards called the _Can_ of Houctireycht.[283] In Mearns or Kincardine Earl David of Huntingdon grants to the church and canons of St. Andrews the whole _Kan_ and _Kuneveth_, which they were due him, from the lands of Ecclesgirg, and the services which his men of Eccleskirch were bound to render him.[284] Then in the beginning of the thirteenth century the record of a dispute between the bishop of St. Andrews and the abbot of Arbroath is preserved to us in the chartulary of that church, regarding the lands of Fyvy, Tarves, Innerbondy, Munclere, Gamery, Inverugy, and Monedin, and the _Can_ or redditus and _Conevet_ of these lands, which the bishop resigns to the abbot free of every exaction, reserving to himself the ancient ‘redditus’ of Monedin, viz., three shillings and sixpence, and the portion of the _Conevet_ which was wont to be paid at Bencorin or Banchory; and in the same Chartulary there is a grant by King William to the abbey of Arbroath of the ferry and ferrylands of Munros, to be held free ‘ab exercitu et expeditione et operatione et auxilio et ab omnibus consuetudinibus et omni servicio et exactione;’ and the earl of Angus grants them the lands of Portincraig in similar terms, as free ‘ab exercitu et expeditione et exactione multure et ab omnibus auxiliis et geldis et omnibus serviciis et exactionibus;’ the ‘exercitus’ and ‘expeditio’ being the _Sluaged_ and _Feacht_ of the Gaelic charters.[285]
