Cambridge had fields (campos) as the neighbouring villages had fields: vast, hedgeless, fenceless tracts of arable land, in which the strips of divers owners lay interspersed...
Сторінка 29 - the fact of the king having a share of the produce naturally put him in a position to exercise a degree of control, the limits of which in fact depended on his own sense of what was right. It became a recognised attribute of the ruling power that as a matter of custom it had the combined right to the share of the produce, the right to the waste and the right to transit dues. This aggregate of rights from very early Muhammadan times was spoken of as the zamindari.
