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.

the Musicians as Crier of the Court that all Minstrels within the Honor residing in the Counties of Stafford Derby Nottingham Leicester or Warwick do appear to do their suit and service on such pain and peril as the Court shall inflict for their default Essoynes nevertheless are allowed in excuse of defaulters upon good reason shewed After which all the said Minstrels are called by a Sute-roll as Suitors are in a Court Leet And then two Juries are empanelled of the chief Minstrells by the Stewards of Musick each Jury consisting of 12 which are returned into the Court where the Steward swears them The form of their oath is the same which is given in a Court-Leet only in a Leet the Jury swear to keep the Kings Counsel their fellows and their own in this to keep the King of Musicks Counsel their fellows and their own The better to inform the Jurors of their duty the Steward gives them a charge in commendation of the antient Science of Musick shewing what admirable effects it has produced what Kings and Noble persons have been Professors of it what manner of persons the Professors ought to be and to admonish them to choose skilful and good men to be Officers for the year ensuing The Officers chosen by the Jurjes are one King and three Stewards of Musick the fourth is chosen by the Steward of the Court the King is chosen one year out of the Minstrells of Stafford shire and the next year out of those of Derby shire The Steward of the Court issues out Warrants to the Stewards of Musick in their several districts by virtue whereof they are to distrain and levy in any City Town Corporate or other place within the Honor all such fines and Amerciaments as are imposed by the Juries on any Minstrel for offences committed against the dignity and honor of the profession The one Moity of which Fines the Stewards account for at the next Audit the other they retain themselves As soon as the Charge is given an Oyez is made with a Proclamation that if any person can inform the Court of any offence committed by any Minstrel within the said Honor since the last Court which is against the honor of his profession let them come forth and they shall be heard Then the Juries withdraw to consider of the points of the Charge and the old Stewards of Musick bring into the Court a Treat of Wine Ale and Cakes and at the same time some Minstrels are appointed to entertain the Company in Court with some merry Airs After which the Juries present one to be King for the year ensuing who takes his oath to keep up all the dignities of that Noble Science c. Then the old King ariseth from his place resigning it and his white Wand to the new King to whom he also drinks a glass of wine bids him joy of his honour And the old Stewards do the like to the new which done the Court adjourns to a certain hour after noon and all return back in the same order they came to the Castle to a place where the old King at his own cost prepares a dinner for the new King Steward of the Court Bailiff Stewards of musick and the Jurymen After dinner all the Minstrels repair to the Priory Gate in Tutbury without any manner of weapons attending the turning out of the Bull which the Bailiff of the Mannor is obliged to provide and is there to have the tips of his horns sawed off his ears and tail cut off his body smeared all over with Soap and his nose blown full of beaten Pepper Then the Steward causes Proclamation to be made That all manner of persons except Minstrels shall give way to the Bull and not come within forty foot of him at their own peril nor hinder the Minstrels in their pursuit of him After which proclamation the Priors Bailiff turns out the Bull among the Minstrels and if any of them can cut off a piece of his Skin before he runs into Derby shire then he is the King of Musicks Bull But if the Bull get into Derby shire sound and uncut he is the Lord Priors again If the Bull be taken and a piece of him cut off then he is brought to the Bailiffs house and there collered and roped and so brought to the bullring in the highstreet in Tutbury and there baited with Dogs the first course in honour of the King of Musick tha second in honour of the Prior the third for the Town and if more for divertisement of the spectators and after he is baited the King may dispose of him as he pleases This usage is of late perverted the young men of Stafford and Derby shires contend with cudgels about a yard long the one party to drive the Bull into Derby shire the other to keep him in Stafford shire in which contest many heads are often broken The King of Musick and the Bailiff have also of late compounded the Bailiff giving the King five Nobles in lieu of his right to the Bull and then sends him to the Earl of Devons Mannor of Hardwick to be fed and given to the Poor at Christmas FINIS Index Nominum A.
