"If a woman commits homicide, vengeance shall be taken against her or her descendants or her blood relatives (or she shall pay compensation for it), not against her husband or his innocent household." Amends shall nonetheless be made whether these things are done intentionally or unintentionally. However, the possibility of a friendly settlement or of clemency is to be treated as the more likely or the more remote depending on the degree of blame attaching to the person who has been slain, and according to the circumstances. If a woman is slain, compensation is to be paid according to her wergeld, which is decided by her paternal relationship. The manbot shall be determined by the standing of the lord. "Any person may aid his lord without incurring a wite if anyone attacks him, and may obey him in all lawful matters except in the case of breach of feudal loyalty, theft, murder, and similar offences, the commission of which has in absolutely no way been permitted, and which are branded as crimes by the laws." In the same way a lord must in the appropriate circumstances keep his man with advice as well as support, and may do so in all ways without penalty. "Anyone who fights in the king's dwelling shall forfeit his life." "If anyone commits the offence of blodwite [an amercement for bloodshed], fihtwite [a fine for making a quarrel to the disturbance of the peace], legerwite [fine for unlawful cohabitation], or anything of that nature, and he escapes from the scene without being obliged to provide security for future appearance in court or without a charge being laid there, the jurisdiction at law belongs to his own lord." Infiht or insocna is the offense committed by those who are living in community in a house; this is compensated for by a payment of the wite to the head of the household, if he has jurisdiction over accuser and accused. If anyone leaps to arms and disturbs the peace of a house, but does not strike anyone, his liability is half the penalty. Compensation for wounds are as follows: on the head if both bones have been pierced 30s.; on the head if only the outer bone has been pierced 15s.; a wound under the hair one inch long 5d., that is, 1s.; a wound in front of the hair 10d, that is 2s.; injury to the throat 12s.; injury on the neck causing a curvature or stiffness or a lasting disability 100s. plus whatever has been paid out for medical treatment.; external injury to the hand 20s.; if half the hand flies off 60s.; rib broken but the skin remains whole 10s.; rib broken and the skin is broken and the bone is drawn out 15s.; loss of any eye or hand or foot or tongue 66s.6d. and a third part of a penny; loss of sight but with the eye remaining in the head 22s.2d.; wound on the shoulder if the person lives 80s.; shoulder wound so that the fluid from the joints runs out 30s.; shoulder maimed 20s.; an injury within a shoulder so that a bone is drawn out 15s.; arm broken above the elbow
