[Footnote 104: Meath with a _servitium debitum_ of 100,
Limerick of 60, Cork with two _servitia_ of 30 each.]
[Footnote 105: _N.C._, v. 378.]
[Footnote 106: Gneist, _C.H._, i. 129, 156.]
[Footnote 107: Freeman, _N.C._, v. 372, 371.]
[Footnote 108: Stubbs, _C.H._, i. 261.]
[Footnote 109: Mr Hall informs me that is the name of the
official referred to.]
[Footnote 110: 'Prout rumor ex rotulis ad me devenit.']
[Footnote 111: See p. 221 _infra_.]
[Footnote 112: 'Et nota quod quandocumque assidentur scutagia,
licet eodem anno solvantur, annotantur tamen in annali anni
sequentis' (_Red Book_, ed. Hall, p. 8).]
[Footnote 113: It is just possible that the source of his
error is to be found in a solitary entry on the roll of 1163:
'Advocatus de Betuna reddit compotum de vi. li. xiii. s. iiii.
d. de auxilio exercitus de Tolusa' (p. 9)--which refers to the
levy of 1161.]
[Footnote 114: 'Temporibus enim regis Henrici primi ... nec
inspexi vel audivi fuisse scutagia assisa' (p. 5).]
[Footnote 115: _Vide supra_, p. 118 note.]
[Footnote 116: 'Illud commune verbum in ore singulorum tunc
temporis divulgatum.']
[Footnote 117: See _Red Book of the Exchequer_, pp. 5, 8.]
[Footnote 118: See list of church fiefs.]
[Footnote 119: His _carta_ is corrupt.]
[Footnote 120: 'Abbas Gloucestrie tenet omnes terras in libera
elemosina.'--_Testa_, p. 77.]
[Footnote 121: 'A new impost specially levied (1156) upon some
of the ecclesiastical estates, under the name of _scutage_'
(Norgate's _Angevin Kings_, i. 433). 'The famous scutage, the
acceptance of a money composition for military service, alike
for the old English service of the fyrd' [this, of course, is
a misconception], 'and for the newer military tenures, dates
from this (1159) time' (Freeman's _Norman Conquest_, v. 674).
'The term _scutage_ now (1156) first employed.... As early as
his second year (1156) we find him collecting a scutage, a new
form of taxation' (Stubbs' _Const. Hist._, i. 454, 458, 581,
590).]
[Footnote 122: The phrase 'debet scutagium quando currit' is
of course, a normal one.]
[Footnote 123: 'Teste Gaufrido Cancellario et Willelmo de
Albineio Pincerna et Gaufrido de Clintona et Pagano fil
Johannis. Apud Sanctum Petrum desuper Divam.']
[Footnote 124: Cott. MS. Julius A., i. 6, fo. 74_a_.]
