[1542] And two sokemen with two teams.
[1543] The artificiality or traditionality of the teamland is even more obvious in D. B. than it is in our statement. At Okeham are 4 hides; land for 16 teams. The men have 37. The king has 2 in his demesne ‘et tamen aliae quatuor possunt esse.’ So what is land for 16 teams is not only stocked but insufficiently stocked with 39. The manor of one carucate held by Leuenot seems to be another infringement of the traditional scheme, unless that carucate has been already reckoned among the four at Okeham.
[1544] Many other instances suggesting the artificiality of B might be given from northern counties; e.g. in Northampton (i. 227) we have five consecutive entries in which A = 2, 2, 2, 0·5, 4; B = 5, 5, 5, 1·25, 10; C = 3, 2, 5, 1, 8. See also Round, Feudal England, 90.
