   • 1892 July, “Villainage in England”, in The English Historical Review, volume VII, number XXVII, London: Longmans, Green, and Co.; New York, N.Y.: […], page 460:

     How many of these gafolgelders by contract were to be found on Saxon manors, whether on the lord’s demesne or holding virgates in the open fields, libere tenentes or free holders of villain holdings, as I have elsewhere stated we cannot tell, but if we may take the experience of the interval between the Domesday survey and the hundred rolls as any guide to the natural multiplication of libere tenentes on the lord’s demesne, the class may have become numerous on many, and perhaps mostly on royal manors, without giving ground, I think, for any inference in favour of the original freedom of the Saxon village community.
