[¹⁰⁶] Introduction to Domesday, i, 134. The italics are his own.

[¹⁰⁷] Const. Hist., i, 99.

[¹⁰⁸] This point brings further into line the towns and the rural Hundreds, through the 100-hide and the 50-hide assessments of the former. (See my 'Danegeld' Essay in Domesday Studies.)

[¹⁰⁹] Edgar spoke of it as three Hundreds.

[¹¹⁰] 'Unum hundret quod vocatur Oswaldeslaw in quo jacent ccc. hidæ.'—D.B., i., 172b.

[¹¹¹] It also contained one 23-hide and two 24-hide Manors, which were once perhaps, of 25 hides. The Church of Worcester, also possessed, outside this Hundred, Manors (inter alia) of 20, 15, 10, and 5 hides. (See below, [p. 143].)

[¹¹²] D.B., i. 175b.

[¹¹³] I make the aggregate 118½ hides.

[¹¹⁴] 'Quæ hic [Dodintret hundred] placitant et geldant et ad Hereford reddunt firmam suam.' It would have been said in Cambridgeshire that their 'wara' was in Doddentree Hundred.
