[1699] Bede, Hist. Eccl. ii. 9 (ed. Plummer, i. 97): '... Meuanias insulas ... quarum prior ... nongentarum lx. familiarum mensuram iuxta aestimationem Anglorum, secunda trecentarum et ultra spatium tenet.' Ibid. iii. 24 (p. 180): '... regnum Australium Merciorum, qui sunt, ut dicunt, familiarum quinque millium ... Aquilonaribus Merciis quorum terra est familiarum vii. milium.' Ibid. i. 25 (p. 45): 'Est autem ad orientalem Cantiae plagam Tanatos insula non modica, id est, magnitudinis iuxta consuetudinem aestimationis Anglorum familiarum sexcentarum (þæt is syx hund hida micel æfter Angel cynnes æhta).' Ibid. iv. 13 (p. 230): 'ad provinciam Australium Saxonum, quae post Cantuarios ad austrum et ad occidentem usque ad Occidentales Saxones pertingit, habens terram familiarum septem millium (is þæs landes seofen þusendo [hida]).' Ibid. iv. 14 (p. 237): 'Est autem mensura eiusdem insulae [Vectae] iuxta aestimationem Anglorum mille ducentarum familiarum: unde data est episcopo possessio terrae trecentarum familiarum (æfter Angel cynnes æhta twelf hund hida, and he þa þam biscop gesealde on æht þreo hund hida).' Ibid. iv. 17 (p. 246): 'Est autem Elge in provincia Orientalium Anglorum regio familiarum circiter sexcentarum (six hund hida) in similitudinem insulae.' Ibid. iii. 25 (pp. 182-3): 'donaverat monasterium quadraginta familiarum in loco qui dicitur Inrhypum.' Ibid. v. 19: 'mox donavit terram decem familiarum in loco qui dicitur Stanford, et non multo post monasterium triginta familiarum in loco qui vocatur Inrhypum (tyn hiwisca landes on þære stowe þe is cweðon Stanford ... minster xxx. hiwisca).' Ibid. iv. 13 (p. 232): 'donavit ... Uilfrido terram lxxxvii. familiarum (seofan and hund eahtig hida landes) ... vocabulo Selæseu.' Historia Abbatum (p. 380): 'terram octo familiarum iuxta fluvium Fresca ab Aldfrido rege ... comparavit ... terram xx. familiarum in loco qui incolarum lingua Ad villam Sambuce vocatur ... accepit ... Terram decem familiarum quam ab Aldfrido rege in possessionem aceeperat in loco villae quae Daltun nuncupatur ...' Hist. Eccl. iv. 21 (p. 253): 'accepit locum unius familiae ad septentrionalem plagam Uiuri fluminis (onfeng heo anes hiwscipes stowe to norð dæle Wire ðære ea).' Ibid. iii. 4 (p. 133): 'Neque enim magna est [Iona] sed quasi familiarum quinque, iuxta aestimationem Anglorum.' Ibid. iii. 24 (p. 178): 'Singulae vero possessiones x. erant familiarum, id est simul omnes cxx.'

[1700] If the 'Wiht gara 600' of The Tribal Hidage refers to Wight, we have here a discord, for Bede gives the Island 1200. The North and South Mercians have together but 1200 according to Bede; the Mercians have 30,000 according to The Tribal Hidage: but the territory of 'the Mercians' is a variable.

[1701] B. i. 4 b, 12; Elton, Tenures of Kent, 135.

[1702] See above, p. 359.

[1703] Round, Feudal England, 289.

[1704] Stubbs, Const. Hist. ii. 422--3; Rot. Parl. ii. 302.

[1705] Bright, Hist. Engl. ii. 386; Hall's Chronicle, ed. 1809, p. 656.

[1706] Some of them seem to start from The Tribal Hidage and take the number of hides to be 303,201 (Liebermann, Leges Anglorum, 10). Divide this by 5 to find the knight's fees. You have 60,640. In MS. Camb. Univ. Ii. vi. 25, f. 108 we find 60,215 knight's fees, 45,011 parish churches, 52,080 vills. Another note, printed by Hearne, Rob. of Avesbury, 264, gives 53,215 knight's fees, 46,822 parish churches, 52,285 vills.

[1707] Bede, Hist. Eccl. iii. 24 (p. 178): 'donatis insuper xii. possessiunculis terrarum, in quibus ablato studio militiae terrestris, ad exercendam militiam caelestem, supplicandumque pro pace gentis eius aeterna, devotioni sedulae monachorum locus facultasque suppeteret ... Singulae vero possessiones x. erant familiarum, id est simul omnes cxx.' In these villages there have been men who owed military service; they are not being ousted from their homes; they are being turned over as tenants to the church; henceforth they will no longer be bound to fight, and in consideration of this precious immunity, they will have to supply the monks with provender. That is how I read this passage. Others can and will read it to mean something very different. But if Bede were speaking of _decuriae_ of slaves, how could there be talk of military service? The slaves would not fight, and if the slaves belonged to eorls who fought, then how comes it that Oswy can expropriate his nobles?

[1708] Hist. Eccl. iii. 4 (p. 133).

[1709] Keith Johnston, Gazetteer.

[1709] I do not suggest, nor does Bede suggest, that Hii was laid out in hides. He is speaking only of size.

[1711] Bede gives to Anglesey the size of 960 families, to Man that of 300 'or more.' Anglesey has 175,836 acres; Man 145,011. Anglesey in 1895 had 'under all kinds of crops, bare fallow and grass (mountain and heath land excluded)' 152,004 acres. Man 96,098. Anglesey had 24,798 acres growing corn crops and 9,305 growing green crops, while the corresponding figures for Man were 22,666 and 11,580. Rationalistic explanation of Bede's statements would be useless. He is reporting vague guesses.

[1712] Hist. Eccl. iv. 13 (p. 232): 'Quo tempore Rex Ædilualch donavit reverentissimo antistiti Vilfrido terram lxxxvii familiarum, ubi suos homines, qui exules vagabantur, recipere posset, vocabulo Selæsu, quod dicitur Latine Insula Vituli Marini.' Bede goes on to describe the Selsey peninsula and Wilfrid's foundation of a monastery. Wilfrid proceeded to convert the men who were given him. They included two hundred and fifty male and female slaves whom he set at liberty.

[1713] K. 992 (v. 32); B. i. 98.

[1714] K. 464 (ii. 341). The 55 hides are reduced to 42, no mention is made of Medemenige, Egesauude or Bessanheie, and the 32 hides are somewhat differently distributed.

[1715] D. B. i. 17. The Bp of Chichester has 24 hides at Amberley.

[1716] I infer this from the thorough discrepancy that there is between these charters and D. B. A forger at work after or soon before the Conquest would have arranged the church's estates in a manner similar to that which we see in King William's record.

[1717] As a matter of fact, however, it is not very easy to reconcile the earlier charter with Bede's story. The charter makes the land proceed from the West-Saxon Ceadwealla and says nothing of Æthelwealh, who, according to Bede, was the donor. Mr Plummer, Bedae Opera, ii. 226, says that the forger betrays his hand by calling Wilfrid _arch_bishop. Really he seems to cut Wilfrid into two, making of him (1) an archbishop, and (2) a bishop of the South Saxons. See the attestations.

[1718] In D. B. i. 17 the bishop's manor at Selsey has but 10 hides and but 7 teamlands.

[1719] See above, p. 378.

[1722] Meitzen, op. cit. ii. 566. The Kalenberger _Hufe_ was a measure prevalent in the district of Braunschweig-Lüneberg. It contained 180 Morgen or 47.147 hectares. A hide made of 120 statute acres would contain about 48.56 hectares. Apparently Dr Meitzen (ii. 113) has found no difficulty in accepting a hide of 120 acres as the normal share of the English settler. See also Lamprecht, Deutsches Wirtschaftsleben, i. 348.

[1727] Tacitus, Germania, c. 15, 23. The very lenient treatment by Abp Theodore of the monk who gets drunk upon a festival tells a curious tale: Haddan and Stubbs, Councils, iii. 177; Robertson, Hist. Essays, 68.

[1728] Thus, e.g., D. B. i. 127, Fuleham: 'ibi 5 villani, quisque 1 hidam.'
