[564] Rightly given as “Fouberd” on p. 708; wrongly as “Roberti” on pp.
616, 719. Mr. Hall has failed to observe that Robert is an error, and
one which throws some light on the MS.
[565] The order is not quite the same in the first of these three lists.

[573] Forty years ago an able northern antiquary, Mr. Hodgson
Hinde, who was well acquainted with early records, and knew these
entries in the ‘Red Book,’ devoted sections of his work (Hodgson’s
‘Northumberland,’ part i., pp. 258–261, 261–263) to “cornage” and to
“castle-ward,” but was careful not to confuse them.
[574] From which they were printed by Hodgson Hinde in his preface to
the Cumberland Pipe Rolls.
[575] The ‘Red Book’ (p. 714) reads: “Summa xviij _l._ iiij _s._ vj
_d._, videlicet, xxij _d._ plus quam alii solebant respondere.” But I
make the real total of its items, not £18 4_s._ 6_d._, but £18 6_s._
6_d._ The two pardons, amounting to £2 17_s._ 4_d._, brought up the
total to £21 3_s._ 10_d._, but, owing to the above wrong ‘summa,’ the
scribe made it only £21 1_s._ 10_d._ He then further omitted the odd
pound, and so obtained his “xxij _d._”
[576] These charters were unknown to Mr. Hodgson Hinde (‘The Pipe Rolls
... for Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Durham,’ 1857), p. xxvii. In
addition to the section on “the Noutgeld or Cornage Rent” in this work
(pp. xxvii.-xxix.), cornage is dealt with _ut supra_ in Hodgson’s
‘Northumberland,’ part i. pp. 258 _et seq._, and in ‘The Boldon
Buke’ (1852), pp. lv.-lvi. There is also printed in Brand’s ‘Newcastle’
a valuable detailed list of the cornage rents payable to the Prior of
Tynemouth, which greatly exceeded his “pardoned” quota.

[582] Even Mr. Oman, though most reluctant to adopt any conclusion of
mine, appears, in his ‘History of the Art of War’ (1898), to admit that
I am right in this. Sir James Ramsay also adopts my conclusion in his
‘Foundations of England’ (1898), ii. 132.
