Ayd and therefore a Tenant in Burgage shall be contributary to it And it is to be observed and so it appeareth in the Register fo 1 2. That in a Writ of Right if the Lands or Tenements are holden by Knights service it is said Quas clamat tenere de te per servitium unius feodi Militis and if the Lands be holden in Socage the Writ is Quis clamat tenere de te per liberum servitium unius libri cumini c. so as Socage Tenure in all Writs is called Liberum servitium And by the Writ of Ayd Fitz. N. B. 82. it is commanded to the Sheriff Quod juste c. facias habere A. rationabile Auxilium de Militibus liberis tenentibus suis in Baliva tua c. so as the same Writ makes a distinction of Knights service by the name of Militibus and of Socage by the name of Liberis tenentibus And in the Register fol. 2. 6. the Writ of Right for a House in London which is holden of the King in Burgage is in these words Rex Majori vel Custodi Vicecom London Praecipimus vobis quod sine dilatione teneatis G. de uno Messuagio c. in London quae clamat tenere de nobis per liberum servitium c. which proves That Tenure in Burgage is a Tenure in Socage But it appeareth by the Books of Avowry 26. and 10 H. 6. so Ancient Demesne 11. it was resolved by all the Iustices in the Exchequer Chamber That no Tenure should pay for a reasonable Ayd to marry the Daughter or to make the Son a Knight but Tenure by Knights service and Tenure by Socage but not Tenure by Grandserjanty nor no other and 13 H. 4. 34. agrees to the Case of Grandserjanty and by the said Books it appeareth that Tenure by Frankalmoign and Tenure by Divine Service shall not pay for they are none of them but Tenure in Burgage is a Tenure in Socage and therefore the said Books prove that such a Tenure shall pay Ayd And I conceive that Tenure by Petit-Serjanty shall pay also Ayd for Litt. lib. 2. cap. 8. fo 36. says That such a Tenure is but Socage in effect but Fitz. N. B. 83. a. avoucheth 13 H. 4. 34. That Tenant by Petit-Serjanty shall not pay Ayd but the Book onely extends to Grand-Serjanty If the Houses in a City or Borough are holden of the King in Burgage and the King grant the Seignories to one and the City or Borough to another to hold of him then those Houses shall not be contributary to Ayd for they are not immediately holden of the King as is required by the Law And I conceive that he who holdeth a Rent of the King by Knights service or in Socage shall pay Ayd for the words of the Act of VVestm 1. cap. 35. are From henceforth of a whole Knights Fee onely be taken 20 s. of 20 l. Land holden in Socage 20 s. and the Mean is said in supposition of Law to hold the Land and it is not reason that the Tenant by his Feoffment before the Statute should prejudice the Lord of his benefit And although it was said that a Tenure in Socage in servitium Socae as Littleton saith and the same cannot be applyed to Houses to that it was answered That the Land upon which the House is built or if the House falleth down may be made arable and be ploughed And a Rent may be holden in Socage and yet it is not subject to be plowed but by a possibility after words escheat to the Lord of the Land See Huntington Polidor Virgill and Hollinsheds Chronicle fol. 35. 15 H. 4. Ayd was levyed by Hen. 7. 1. to marry Mawd his eldest Daughter to the Emperor viz. 3 l. of every Hide of Land c. And see The Grand Customary of Normandy cap. 35. there is a Chapter of Ayds whereof the first is to make the eldest Son of his Lord a Knight and the second to marry his eldest Daughter And see a Statute made in anno 19 H. 7. which begineth thus Item praefati Communes in Parliamento praedicto existentes ex assensu duorum Spiritualium Temporalium in dicto Parliamento similiter existen concesserunt praefato Regi quandàm pecuniae summam in loco duorum rationabilium auxiliorum suae Majestatis de jure debit tam ratione creationis nobilissimi filii sui primogeniti bonae memoriae Domini Arthuri nuper Principis VValliae quam ratione Matrimonii traductionis nobilissimi Principis Margaritae filiae suae primogenit quam etiam multiplicare pro Regni sui perpetua pace tranquillitate c. certis viis modis levand cujus quidem concessionis Tenor c. sequitur in haec verba For as much as the King our Soveraign Lord is rightfully intituled to have two reasonable Ayds according to the Laws of this Land the one for the making Knight the right honorable his first begotten Son Arthur late Prince of VVales deceased and the other for that the marriage of the Right Noble Princess his first begotten Daughter Margaret now marryed to the King of Scots and also that his Highness hath born great and inestimable charges for the defence of the Realm c. considering the premisses And if the same Ayds should be levyed and had by reason of their Tenures according to the ancient Laws of the Land should be to them doubtful and uncertain and great unquietness for the search and not knowledg of their several Tenures and their Lands chargeable to the same have made humble Petition unto his Highness graciously to accept and take of them the sum of 40000 l. as well in recompence and satisfaction of the said two Ayds as for the said great and inestimable charges c. as is aforesaid The King to eschew and avoyd the great vexation troubles and unquietness which to them should have ensued if the said Ayds were levyed after the ancient Laws and for the good and acceptable services of the Nobles of this Realm and other his faithful Subjects in their own persons and otherwise done to his Grace and thereby sustained manifold costs and charges to his great honor and pleasure doth pardon the said two Ayds and accepteth the offer aforesaid and that the poorest of his said Commons should not be contributary to the said sum of 40000 l. hath pardoned 10000 l. parcel thereof and doth accept of 30000 l. in full satisfaction c.
