[118]. Some of these questions might be answered in particular cases by the terms of special charters. Thus the Hundred Rolls (1279) relate how Hugh de Plesens held the Manor of Hedington, and was liable for one knight’s fee when scutage ran; that he must go with the King and[and] serve him for forty days at his own expense, and thereafter at the expense of the King. Rot. Hund., II. p. 710; cf. for France, Etablissements de St. Louis, I. c. 65.
[119]. See R. Coggeshall, p. 167; the barons argued non in hoc ei obnoxios esse secundum munia terrarum suarum.

[121]. See his letter dated 1st April, 1215, in New Rymer, I. 128, ordering the barons to pay the scutage of Poitou.
[122]. The evidence for this is chiefly inferential, but would be greatly strengthened if we could establish the genuineness of the charter discussed by Mr. J. H. Round, Mr. Prothero, and Mr. Hubert Hall in Eng. Hist. Rev., VIII. 288, and IX. 117 and 326. See the document in Appendix.
