单词 | cottar |
释义 | cottarcottern. 1. Sometimes used to translate medieval Latin cotārius, applied in Domesday Book to a villein who occupied a cot or cottage with an attached piece of land (usually 5 acres) held by service of labour (with or without payment in produce or money).Cotarius probably represented the Old English cotsǽta or cotset, cotsetla, and cotman, or at least, with the bordarius, included these. The distinction between the cotarius and the bordarius, bordar, or bordman, has not been satisfactorily determined; when both are mentioned together the bordarii are usually named before the cotarii, and the latter are much less numerous. In some cases, also, Domesday seems to distinguish coscez and cotarii: thus under the manor of Haseberie, Wiltshire, there are ‘xiii coscez, and ii cotar'.’ In Ellis's Abstract of Population in Domesday (II. 435–6), Devonshire has bordarii 4847..coscez 70, cotarii 19..servi 3294, villani 8070.
