[Footnote 164: 'Episcopus Lond' reddit compotum de xiii.
libris et vi. sol. et viii. den. de Servicio militum.... Idem
reddit compotum de cxiiii. marcis et v. sol. de promissione
servientium Walie' (_ibid._, p. 19).]
[Footnote 165: 'Willelmus de Siffrewast reddit compotum de
lxxvi. sol. et iii. den.... Hugo de Bochelanda reddit compotum
de. v. servientibus' (_ibid._, p. 75). Compare the love of
variety in Domesday, _supra_, pp. 41, 42, 77.]
[Footnote 166: 'Scutagium de ii. exercitibus' in next roll
(rot. 12 Hen. II).]
[Footnote 167: _Itinerary of Henry II_, p. 79 _et seq._
Compare also the payment from the Giffard fief 'de secundo
exercitu' (p. 25).]
[Footnote 168: _Angevin Kings_, ii. 180, note.]
[Footnote 169: _Liber Rubeus_, p. 193.]
[Footnote 170: This was the point on which Abbot Sampson
insisted, against his knights, at St Edmund's. In the case
of Canterbury, the inquest of 1163 would have ascertained the
actual number of the archbishop's knights and their fees.]
[Footnote 171: Ignorasse quidem haec [debita] servitia
militaria Regis ... successores subsequentium argumento non
immerito potuit dubitare: quia cum Rex Henricus ... traderet,
a quolibet sui regni milite marcam unam ... exegit, publico
praecipiens edicto quod quilibet praelatus et baro quot
milites de eo tenerent in capite publicis suis instrumentis
significarent' (_Liber Rubeus_, p. 4).]
[Footnote 172: 'Teneo de vobis ... feodum i. militis, unde
debeo vobis facere servitium i. militis' (_carta_).]
[Footnote 173: 'De hoc predicto feodo debet Regi v. milites'
(_Carta_).]
[Footnote 174: It must always be remembered that, as explained
above, in cases where the requisite number of knights had not
been enfeoffed by 1166, the balance _de dominio_ was added to
those actually created, as _de veteri_ together.]
[Footnote 175: Thus Daniel de Crevec[oe]ur pays on one fee
(_de veteri_) more than his _carta_ records, William de Tracy
on half a fee (_de veteri_), Adam de Port on one, the Earl
of Gloucester on two, the Earl of Warwick on two and a half,
Maurice de Craon on one, the Abbot of Hulme on a quarter of a
fee, William de Albini (Pincerna) on one, Henry de Lacy on one
and a half, William de Vescy on one, Bertram de Bulemer on
a half, and William Paynell on one (these figures are all
subject to correction). The case of William de Vescy is
specially conspicuous, because the nineteen fees enumerated
are distinctly spoken of as twenty.]
[Footnote 176: This brings it into relation with the
_Constabularia_ of which it thus formed just a third.]
[Footnote 177: The same formula is found in Domesday applied
to hidation in East Anglia, where the assessment of Manors is
expressed not in terms of the hide, but in fractions of the
pound. (_Vide supra_, p. 89.)]
