In old English law, a holding of land the allotment of one tenant, a portion of land considered to be sufficient for the support of one family, but varying in extent in every district according to local custom and the qua??y of the soil, hence variously estimated ?? 60, 80 and 100 acres o?? more. It might also include house, wood, meadow and ??ture necessary for the ??ce of the plowmen and oxen. (Century Dictionary). King Al??ed made a law that all Freemen of the Kingdom possessing two Hides of land should bring up their s??ns in lea?? (Baker's Chronicles. p. 9). A hide is so much land as one plow can sufficiently till (Milton, History of Eng., p. 41). J. H. Rounds, M. A., the great authority on the time of Domesday says: in reference to the Hide that: "Down to very recerst years it had been genera??y assumed that the hide of Domesday was a measure of land, although there was no agreement as to the area represented.
