Note 606 — Chapter XI · FOLCLAND. BÓCLAND. LǼNLAND.

The fold was often distant from the homestead, and required careful watching, especially during the dark winter months. Sheep alone were not folded, but oxen, cows, and particularly mares: hryðrafald, cúafald, stódfald. This system may be still seen in full force in Hungary; and we may add that, in the article of horse and cattle stealing, the Hungarian presents a very marked likeness to the Anglosaxon. While reading these services, one can hardly get rid of the notion that one is studying the description of a Hungarian Session.
