Note 93 — Book II.
John Beames translation
Campionis. “Campio dicitur a campo, because the combat was strucken on the field, and, therefore is called camp-fight, and he must be liber homo.” (2 Inst. 246.) In this derivation Spelman concurs. The reader may consult the latter if desirous of seeing what he terms formula campi seu duelli. (Gloss.)—Also the Mirror, c. 3. s. 24. 25.
