To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" It is as follows : " Statuimus etiam ut om- nis liber homo feodere et sacramento affirmet, quod intra et extra Augliam Willelmo regi fideles esse volunt, terras et honorem illius omni fidelitate cum eo servare et eum contra inimicos de- fendere. " It will be perceived that Mr. Hallam reads Liber homo as " vassal. " Mr. Freeman reads them as " freeman, " while the older authority, Sir Martin Wright, says : "I have translated the words Liberi Homines, ' owners of land, ' because the sense agree...s best with the tenor of the law. " The views of writers of so much em- inence as Sir Martin Wright, Sir Will- iam Blackstone, Mr. Henry Hallam, and Mr. Freeman, are entitled to the greatest respect and consideration, and it is with much diffidence I venture to differ from them. The three older writers appear to have had before them the LII. Of William L, the latter the alleged charter found in the " Textus Roffensis ;" but as they are almost identical in expression, I treat the latter as a copy of the former, and I do not think it bears out the interpretation sought to be put upon it that it altered either the feudalism of England, or the relation of the vassal to his lord ; and it must be borne in mind that not only did William derive his title to the crown from Edward the Confessor, but he preserved the apparent continuity, and re-enacted the laws of his predecessor.
