These had soke and sac and tol and thaim and all customs in the time of King Edward :--Earl Harold, Merlesuen, Ulffenisc, Turgod-lag [man], Tochi, son of Otta, Eduin and Morcar upon the land of Ingold only, Gamel, son of Osbert, upon Cotingeha' (Cottingham) only, Copsi upon Cucualt (Coxwold) only, and Cnut. Of these, he who committed trespass [that is, incurred forfeiture] made amends to no one, except to the King and the Earl.

In the demesne manors the Earl had nothing at all, nor the King in the manors of the Earl, except what pertains to the spiritual jurisdiction, which belongs to the Archbishop.

In all the land of St. Peter of York, and St. John, and St. Wilfrid, and St. Cuthbert, and of the Holy Trinity, in like manner, neither the King, nor the Earl, nor anyone else, had any custom there.

The King has three ways by laud and a fourth by water. In these, every forfeiture is the King's and the Earl's wherever the ways lead, whether through the King's land, or the Archbishop's, or the Earl's.

If the King's peace, given under his hand or seal, should be broken, amend to the King only is to be made by twelve hundreds ; each hundred eight pounds.

Peace given by the Earl, and broken by any one, amend to be made to the Earl himself by six hundreds, each hundred eight pounds.

If anyone should be outlawed according to law, no one, except the King, shall give him peace. But if the Earl or the Sheriff shall have sent anyone out of the district, they themselves may recall him, and give him peace; if they will.

Those thanes who shall have had more than six manors, give relief of lands to the King only. The relief is eight pounds.

But if he shall have had only six manors, or less, he gives to the sheriff, for relief, three marks of silver.

But the burgesses of the city of York do not give relief.
