A.D. MCI.



Institutiones Henrici Regis.

[Anno Incarnationis dñicæ M.CI. Henricus filiꝰ Willelmi Regis post obitū fr̃is sui Willelmi, Dei gr̃a Rex Angloꝝ om̄ibꝫ fidelibꝫ Sal̵.[1]] Sciatis me Dei misc̃dia & cōmuni consilio ([2]) Baronū [tociꝰ[3]] regni Angliæ ejusdē ([4]) regē coronatū esse. Et qia regnū oppressū erat injustis exactionibꝫ, Ego Dei respectu, & amore quē erga vos ([5]) habeo, sc̃am Dei eccl̵iā inpimis liberā facio; Ita qod nec vendā nec ad firmā ponā, nec mortuo Archiep̃o, [sive[6]] Ep̃o, [sive[7]] Abbate, aliqid accipiā de dñio Eccl̵ie vel [de[8]] hominibꝫ ejꝰ donec Successor in eā ingrediatr; & om̃s malas consuetudines quibꝫ regnū Angliæ [injuste[9]] opprimebatur, inde aufero: Quas malas consuetudines ex parte [hic pono.[10]]

D’ releviis dandis.
R. 2.

Si quis [Baronū Comitū meoꝝ[11]] sive alioꝝ qi de me tenent mortuus fuerit, hæres suus n̄ redimet terrā suā sicut faciebat tempore fr̃is mei, sed justa & legitima [relevatione relevabit[12]] eā. Similit͛ & hōīes Baronū meoꝝ justa & legitima [relevatione relevabunt[13]] terras suas de Dñis suis.

D’ mulieribꝫ maritand̵.
R. 2.

Et si quis Baronū ([14]) vel [alioꝝ[15]] hominū meorū filiā suā [nuptū[16]] tradere voluerit, sive sororē sive [neptī[17]] sive cognatā, mecū inde loqatur. Sed neqꝫ ego aliqid de suo ꝓ hac licencia accipiā, neqꝫ defendā ei quin eā det, excepto si [ea[18]] vellet jungere inimico meo. Et si mortuo barone ([19]) [sive[20]] alio homine [meo[21]] filia hæres remanserit, illā dabo consilio baronū meoꝝ cū terra sua; & si mortuo [viro[22]] Uxor [ejꝰ[23]] remanserit, & sine liberis fuerit, [dotē suā & maritationē[24]] habebit, & eā non dabo marito ni sc̃d̵m velle suum.

D’ custode t͛re & h̴edis mortuo tenente ℞.
R. 2.

Si vo Uxor cū liberis remanserit, dotē qidē & maritationē ([25]) habebit dū ([26]) corpus suum legitime [servaverit,[27]] & eā non dabo nisi sc̃d̵m velle suū. Et t͛ræ & liberoꝝ custos erit sive Uxor, sive aliꝰ [ꝓpinquariꝰ[28]] qui [justiꝰ[29]] esse [debeat:[30]] & p͛cipio ut barones mei [similit͛[31]] se contineant erga filios [&[32]] filias vel uxores hominū suorum.

Monetagiū cōmune qod capiebatr ꝑ civitates & ([33]) comitatꝰ, qod non fuit tēpore Regis Eduuardi, hoc ne amodo [sit[34]] om̄ino defendo. Si qis captꝰ fuerit sive monetariꝰ sive aliꝰ cū falsa moneta, justicia recta inde fiat. Om̄ia placita, & om̄ia debita quæ fr̃i meo [debebantr[35]] condono, exceptis rectis firmis [meis,[36]] & exceptis illis quæ pacta erant ꝓ alioꝝ hereditatibꝫ, vel ꝓ eis rebꝫ quæ justius aliis contingebant. Et si qis [hereditate sua aliqid[37]] pepigerat illud condono, & om̃s [relevationes[38]] quæ ꝓ rectis [hereditatibꝫ[39]] pacte [fuerant.[40]]

​

Et si qis baronū vel hominū meoꝝ infirmabitr, sicut ipse dabit, vel dare disponet pecuniā suā, ita datam esse concedo. Quod si ipse p͛ventꝰ ([41]) armis vl̵ infirmitate pecuniā suam n̄ dederit, [vel̵[42]] dare disposuerit, Uxor sua sive liberi aut parentes [&[43]] legitimi homines ejꝰ [eam[44]] ꝓ anima ejꝰ dividant sicut eis meliꝰ visum fuerit.

Si qis ([45]) forisfec̃rit n̄ dabit vadiū in mis̃cd̵ia ([46]) pecuniæ ([47]) sicut faciebat tēpore patris [mei[48]] [vel[49]] fr̃is mei, sed sc̃d̵m modū forisfacti ita em̃dabit, sicut emendasset retro a tēpore patris mei ([50]) in tēpore alioꝝ antecessoꝝ meoꝝ. Quod si ꝑfidiæ vl̵ sceleris convictꝰ fuerit, sicut justū [fuerit[51]] sic emendet.

De ꝯfirmatiōe legū Edwardi Regis.
R.1.

Murdra etiā retro ab [illo[52]] die qua in regē coronatꝰ fui [om̄ia[53]] condono; & ea que amo facta fuerint juste [emendentr[54]] sc̃d̵m lagā Regis Eduuardi.

[Forestas om̄i[55]] consensu Baronū meoꝝ in manu mea [retinui,[56]] sicut patr m̃s [eas[57]] habuit.

Militibꝫ qui ꝑ loricas t͛ras suas [defendunt,[58]] t͛ras dñicarū carrucarū [suarum[59]] quietas ab om̄ibꝫ [gildis,[60]] & ([61]) om̄i oꝑe, [ꝓprio[62]] dono meo concedo, [ut sicut tā magno allevamine alleviati sunt,[63]] ita se eqis & armis bene instruant ([64]) ad servitiū meū & ad defensionē regni mei.

[Pacē firmā in toto regno meo pono & teneri amodo p͛cipio.[65]]

Lagā Eduuardi regis vobis reddo cū illis emendationibꝫ quibꝫ pater m̃s eam emendavit ([66]) consilio baronū suorum.

Si qis aliquid [de rebꝫ meis[67]] vel de rebꝫ alicujꝰ post obitū Willelmi Regis fr̃is mei cæpit totū cito [sine em̃datione reddatr.[68]] Et si qis inde aliqid retinuerit, ille suꝑ quē inventū fuerit, michi graviter emendabit.
