The heriot of Beorhtríc, about 962, was, four horses, two equipped, two swords and belts, a ring worth eighty mancuses of gold, a sword of the same value, two falcons, and all his stag-hounds[188]. ----- Footnote 188: Ibid. No. 492. ----- The great duke Ælfheáh of Hampshire, 965-971, gave to Eádgár, who had married his cousin Ælfðrýð, duke Ordgár’s daughter, the following property: it is hard to say how much of it was heriot: six horses with their trappings, six swords, six spears, six shields, one sword worth eighty mancuses of gold, one dish of three pounds, one cup of three pounds, three hundred mancuses of gold, one hundred and twenty hides of land at Wyrð, and his estates at Cóchám, Dæchám, Ceóleswyrð, Incgeneshám, Æglesbyrig and Wendofra[189]. ----- Footnote 189: Ibid. No. 593. ----- Æðelríc, in 997, paid two horses, one sword and belt, two shields, two spears, and sixty marks of gold[190]. ----- Footnote 190: Cod. Dipl. No. 699. This is very nearly the exact heriot. Æðelríc, who was no friend to the king, probably meant to give him no doit more than he could legally claim. ----- Archbishop Ælfríc, 996-1006, devised to the king, as his heriot, sixty helmets, sixty coats-of-mail, and his best ship with all her tackle and stores[191]. ----- Footnote 191: Cod. Dipl. No. 716. ----- Ælfhelm paid four horses, two equipped, four shields, four spears, two swords, and one hundred mancuses of gold[192]. ----- Footnote 192: Ibid. No. 967. ----- Wulfsige paid two horses, one helmet, one coat-of-mail, one sword, one spear twined with gold[193]. ----- Footnote 193: Ibid. No. 979. -----
