Not illustrated. 1840 Excerpt: ...(a) Hands on Fines, 152. (6) Ante, 25. (c) See 2 Rot. Pari. 20 a. (d) That is, land sufficient to support the dignity of 13 knights, and of onethird part of a 14th knight. This fraction arises from a barony being estimated as two-thirds of an earldom, which consisted of 20 knights' fees--Co. Litt. 69 b. A knight's fee was not, as has sometimes been supposed, land of a definite extent or of any fixed pecuniary value. Madox, Baron. Angl. 131 m; Plac. in Domo Cap. Westm. asserv.
