[Footnote 176: See Mr Green's maps in his work, _The Making of
England_, and Mr Freeman's map of 'Britain in 597', in vol.
i. of his _Norman Conquest_. The figures for Hampshire,
unfortunately, are wanting in the roll of 1156, as in that of
1130.]
[Footnote 177: Even if such assessment were not required, at
first, for financial reasons, it might be necessary for such
obligations as eventually formed the 'trinoda necessitas'.]
[Footnote 178: See Stubbs, _Select Charters_, pp. 67-9, and
_Const. Hist._, i. 96-9.]
[Footnote 179: Select Charters, p. 67.]
[Footnote 180: Vol. i., pp. 98, 99. Cf. _Select Charters_, p.
67: 'It is sometimes stated that the Hundred is a primitive
subdivision consisting of a hundred hides of land, or
apportioned to a hundred families, the great objection
to which theory is the impossibility of reconciling the
historical Hundreds with any such computation.']
[Footnote 181: _Select Charters_, p. 6.]
[Footnote 182: Thus, the first entry for East Anglia (ii.
109_b_) has 'de xx. solidis reddit xvi. d. in gelto.']
[Footnote 183: Compare also the very curious system of
'purses' adopted by the Cinque Ports. The 'purse' was £4
7s, and to every 'purse' Sandwich, for instance, paid twenty
shillings, while, whenever it paid twenty such shillings, its
four 'members' were assessed to pay three and fourpence apiece
towards it.]
[Footnote 184: 'In hundredo de Tinghowe sunt xx. villæ ex
quibus constituuntur ix. lete, quas sic distinguimus.' Gage's
_Suffolk_, p. xii.]
[Footnote 185: _Select Pleas in Manorial Courts_ (Selden
Society), I., lxiii.--lxxvi.]
[Footnote 186: _Ibid._, p. lxxvi.]
[Footnote 187: 'De gelto v. sol'' (D.B., ii. 286_b_). Sudbury
was an outlying portion of the Hundred of Thingoe, in which
is situated Bury St Edmunds, of which we read (D.B., ii. 372):
'quando in hundredo solvitur ad geldum i. libra, tunc inde
exeunt lx. d. _ad victum monachorum_.' This substitution,
apparently, of Sudbury (as three leets) for Bury St
Edmunds (of which the monks received the geld) deserves
investigation.]
[Footnote 188: See p. 58.]
[Footnote 189: 'Wisbeche, quæ est quarta pars centuriatus
insulæ' (_Liber Eliensis_ p. 192).]
[Footnote 190: 'In Sparle et in Pagrave, xviii. d. quando
hundret scotabat xx. solidos et in Acra vi. d. et in pichensam
xii. d. quicunque ibi teneat' (ii. 119_b_). See also note
182.]

[Footnote 192: Reprinted from the _English Historical Review_,
October 1892.]
[Footnote 193: Ninth Report on Historical MSS., App. I, 38.]
[Footnote 194: _Domesday of St. Paul's_, p. iv.]
[Footnote 195: This is a slip. Drayton was in Middlesex, and
the words (which Mr Seebohm quotes) are 'cum _una_ hida de
solande'.]
