Note 159 — PART I TERRITORIAL STUDIES (continued 3)
Reading edition
The fourth levy, which is that of 1162 (8 Henry II), was at the rate of one marc, and is recorded by Swereford, but not by Dr Stubbs.159 Though richer in names than that of 1161, it is even less useful for our purpose, as the sums entered are most irregular, perhaps owing to the adoption of a new method of collection.160 Neither of these levies affords, in the absence of corroboration, trustworthy evidence on the servitium of any lay fief.
