I well knowing the Learning and Industry of the Author do allow the Printing of this Book Fra. North. Fragmenta Antiquitatis ANTIENT TENURES OF LAND And Jocular CUSTOMS Of some MANNORS· Made publick for the diversion of some and instruction of others By T.B. of the Inner-Temple Esquire Neque semper Arcum tendit Apollo Hor. LONDON Printed by the Assigns of Richard and Edward Atkins Esquires For Abel Roper at the Sun Tho. Basset at the George and Christopher Wilkinson at the Black-Boy all in Fleetstreet 1679. TO THE READER WHilst I was perusing many of our both publick private Records for other ends I thought a small Collection of some remarkable Tenures of Land and unusual Customs of some Mannours might not be unacceptable to the Studious who when weary with poring upon Littletons Tenures and his Learned Commentator might relax are fibulam by recurring to these and smile at the inoffensive mirth both of our Kings in former times and Lords of Mannours in creating them some of which I confess are since converted into a Rent having a modo arrentatur enter'd in the Record others are by length of time disused and others yet remain in force As not long since I had the curiosity to ask an old Officer in the Exchequer whether he ever remembred any Herring Pies paid to the King for the Mannour of Carleton in Norfolk yes very well answered he for we had some of them in Court among us here last Term Nor does the late Act of Parliament for taking away all Tenures by Knight-service and Capite extend to the discharging the honorary Services of Grand Serjeanty other than of Wardship Mariage c. but are left standing on their old foundation by a particular Proviso in that Act. Neither are these kind of Tenures unusual in other Countries for we read of a Queen of Hungary who upon her Death-bed bequeathed the City and Province of Altenburg to one of the Lords of her Court upon condition that he and his successors should always keep a certain number of Peacocks in defect whereof the Territory should revert to the Crown My first intention was to render all the Records in English but upon second thoughts I judge the original words would be more acceptable both to the Learned and Learner and for the help of the latter have explained to the best of my skill those of any difficulty at least as many of them as I could for some I believe may pose the ablest Glossographer now living as Warocks Muta deynectorum Canum Heymectis Cyppos Berbiagium Chacuros Sensas Muta vini Gruna Vini c. Or to speak more truly I took them as I found them some out of the very Records others extracted thence and translated to my hand for I was not willing to spend very much time in rem levem as Sir Henry Spelman words it upon a liike occasion And yet as light as the subject may seem to be I am very well informed that Atturney General Noy had a little before his Death bespoke a Copy of all the Tenures by Serjeanty remaining upon Record 't is like he judg'd them useful or divertising or both I have purposely omitted or but rarely mentioned those more common Tenures whereby the owner was obliged to deliver yearly into the Exchequer a Mew'd Sparhawk a pair of Spurs Gloves or the like of which kind I met with many and held them not for my purpose which was to take in none but what were in some respect or other remarkable Nor must I forget to advertise the Reader that the names of divers Mannours and places here mentioned are written otherwise now than they were of old which the knowing in each County will easily reconcile And however others may like of this Essay some Gentlemen of Antient descent I presume will be well enough pleased to see their Ancestors names thus revived and transmitted from our seldom seen Records to a more publick Register Nothing of this nature having to my knowledge been ever till now made publick And I will be bold to say the Studious in Law-latin and Record-learning shall not any where find so much singular of that kind collected in so small a Volume Lege Ride Disce Tho.
