Reading edition
The leod-geld or wer-gild of a 'man' was 200 shillings (see mention of the half leod-geld of c. shillings, s. 21). As regards the three grades of læts, there were also three grades of female theows of the king (see s. 10–11), the cup-bearer, the grinding-theow, and the lowest class. See also s. 16, where again there is mention of three classes of theows, each with its value.
