Note 638 — Chapter III
Reading edition
What may be, for instance, the explanation of the huntenegild, which not unfrequently appears in the records. E.g. Gloucester Cart. iii. 22: 'Johannes Carpentarius et relicta Kammock tenent dimidiam virgatam terrae et faciunt idem quod praescripti, exceptis huntenesilver et gallina.' Add. MSS. 6159, f. 23, a: 'Ricardus atte mere tenet de domino in villenagio 20 acras terre; reddit inde per annum de unthield ad festum purificacionis 4 sol. 5 den. ob. et ad pascham 6 d. Et ad festum Sti Michaelis 17 denarios.' The payment is a very important one and hardly connected with hunting.
