A few other exceptional cases occur in the [p094] Liber Eliensis. The abbey had three manors in Hertfordshire, and in these the holdings were as follows:
(P. 509–10.)—In Oedwinestreu Hundred.
| Hadam. | 1 'villanus' of 1 virgate. |
| 18 'villani,' each of 12 virgate. | |
| 7 'cotarii' of 12 virgate (i.e. together). |
In the two Hundreds of Bradeutre.
| Hatfield. | 18 'villani' each of 1 virgate. |
| The priest of 12 hide. | |
| 4 'homines' of 4 hides (i.e. a hide each). |
In Odeseie Hundred.
| Chyllessella. | 2 villani of 12 hide (i.e. 1 virgate each). |
| 10 villani of 5 virgates (i.e. 12 virgate each). | |
| 9 bordarii of 1 virgate (i.e. together). | |
| 7 servi. |
In the Fen Country.
The monks of Ely also had several manors in the Fen country, but the holdings in this district seem to have been peculiar. Instead of being 'each of a virgate,' or 'each of a half-virgate,' they are 'each of so many acres,' as was also found to be the case in some districts of Cambridgeshire in the Hundred Rolls. The Fen district seems to have had its own local peculiarities, both in the eleventh and in the fourteenth centuries, just as Kent also had. But here was no exception to the rule that the villani were classed in grades, each grade with equal holdings.
