Talk:Knight-service

Removal of indecipherable text
"each new fief createdand imposed the same service on most of the great ecclesiastical bodies which retained their landed endowments. No record evidence exists of this action on his part, and the quota of knight-service exacted was not determined by the area or value of the lands granted (or retained), but was based upon the unit of the feudal host, the constabularia of ten knights. Of the tenants-in-chief or barons (i.e. those nobles who held fiefs directly of the crown), the principal were called on to find one or more of these units, while of the lesser ones some were called on for five knights, that is, half a constabularia." Too unclear. Please rephrase. (Lobsterthermidor (talk) 18:11, 24 November 2010 (UTC))
