Note 327 — Book IX.
John Beames translation
We have observed, that homage was divided into, liege and feudal: it was also divided into, liege and not liege, which division corresponds with the other. Liege is borrowed from the French, as Thaumas informs us. (Cout. de Beauvoisis p. 255.) and seems to have meant a service that was personal and inevitable. (Traités Sur Les Cout. Anglo-Norm. par Houard. p. 511. Tom. 1.)
