a free man. [1]Once every year it is necessary for everybody to go in the host along with the king to a border gwlad, if he will it ; and then the queen is entitled to a lady-progress. Always however, whenever he shall so will, is he to be accompanied in the host in his own gwlad. [2]The huntsmen and the falconers and the grooms have a progress among the king's taeogs ; each party however separately.
[3]Nine buildings the taeogs ought to make for the king ; a hall, chamber, kitchen, chapel, barn, kilnhouse, necessary, stable, dog-kennel. From the taeogs the king has sumpter-horses for his host ; and from every taeogtrev he receives a man and horse and hatchet at the king's cost to make encampments for him. [4]Three things a taeog is not to sell without his lord's permission : a horse and swine and honey. If he refuse them in the first instance, let him after that sell them to whom he may please. [5]Three arts which a taeog is not to teach his son without his lord's permission : scholarship and bardism and smithcraft. For if his lord be passive until the tonsure be given to the scholar, or until a smith enters his smithy, or a bard with his song, no one can enslave them after that.
