Greatanlea of Athelstan. The whole pauper population of a district was composed of the slaves and the villeinage, both of which classes were legitimately entitled to their lord's support for a livelihood. Apart from the tithe question, the monastic houses, by reason of their seignorial status, were liable for the support of the local poor. Here therefore the peculiar relationship of lord, land, and people solves the mysteries of early pauper relief. But apart from this view of the case, the ter...m " alms " implies a voluntary and indefinite payment, not the fixed and compulsory rate of a Poor Law. Later on, when monasteries had been founded and churches came to be appropriated by such religious bodies, it was usual for the vicar officiating in the appropriated church to retain one-third of the tithe, while the other two-thirds were applied by the monks for their own maintenance, the entertainment of the stranger and the relief of the poor. 246 History of the English Landed Interest From all this it is clear that the provision for the poor by the monasteries was in no way eleemosynary but compulsory.
