4 50 Borough and Hundred in the Nomina Villarum, presumably because they were reckoned as hundreds and therefore sent 12 lawful men to the Eyre. It therefore appears that a royal grant of the liber burgus exempted its recipients from suits of hundreds and imposed on them the duty of sending 1 2 men to the Eyre : but a seignorial grant of the liber burgus had not this effect 1 . But these suggestions are tentative, and when the charters of the thirteenth century have been examined as carefully a...s those of the twelfth, it may be possible to decide definitely the reasons which led the sheriffs to call on certain boroughs to send 12 burgesses to the Eyre and to allow others to be unrepresented. Two results of the Nomina Villarum may be noted : it seems to have settled the list of Parlia- mentary boroughs : previously these lists were so variable as to suggest that the sheriffs granted or refused Parliamentary representation at their own will; but after 1316, with certain exceptions, of which the most are in Devon, Wilts, and Yorks, only those boroughs which were returned as such in the Nomina Villarum, sent burgesses to Parliament.
