[421] E.g. D. B. ii. 358: ‘7 liberos homines ... hi poterant dare vel vendere terram set saca et soca et commendatio et servitium remanebant Sancto [Edmundo].’
[422] D. B. ii. 186: ‘In Sterestuna tenuit unus liber homo S. Aldredae T. R. E. et Stigandi erat soca et saco in Hersam.’—Ibid. 139 b: ‘habuit socam et sacam ... de commendatis suis.’
[423] D. B. i. 141.
[424] Liebermann, Leges Edwardi, p. 72. The most important passage is Leg. Edw. 12 § 4: ‘Manbote in Danelaga de villano et de socheman 12 oras [= 20 sol.]: de liberis hominibus 3 marcas [= 40 sol.].’
[425] A study of the Hundred Rolls might prepare us for this result. One jury will call servi those whom another jury would have called villani. See e.g. R. H. ii. 688 ff.
