The next clause relates to homicide ‘in pace regis’ or of other lords. We have already seen that in the laws of King David the manbote or payment to the king for breach of his peace, or for crime committed in his _grith_ or precinct, was a thing distinct from the satisfaction to be made to the kin of the person slain ‘according to the assize of the Kynrik.’ In these early laws the payment for slaying a man in the king’s peace was, according to the corrected text, 180 cows. In the following clauses 180 cows are again the payment for breach of the king’s peace, but there are payments also for breach of the peace of other classes. De occisis in pace regis. [] Of þhaim þat ar slayn in þe peis of þe king and oþer lordis. * * * * * Si quis homo sit occisus in pace domini regis sibi pertinent nouies viginti vacce. ¶ Si hūme est ocys en la pes le rei · il a feit · ixˣˣ vac͠c.

The payments were as under:-- If a man be killed _in pace regis_ 180 cows. } _To the In that of the King’s son or comes 90 ” } person in ” ” comes’ son or thane 60 ” } whose peace ” ” thane’s son 40 ” } he was ” ” thane’s grandson 20⅔ ” } killed._ They seem to be very large, but they are not impossible, seeing that in the Norse law, while the wergeld of the hauld was 27 marks of silver or 96 cows, the payment to the king for the breach of his peace (frith-bot) was 40 marks, _i.e._ 128 cows.[207] [Sidenote: The Kelchin.]
