13.When it is reported in the Annales Bertin, for the year 869 that for the garrison of a newly erected fort Charles the Bald called up one gastalds(scaramannus: warrior without a fief)from every 100 hides of land and a wagon with two oxen from every 1,000 hides, this does not give us any specific number, since it was not known at the court how many hides there were in each county. Consequently, this is only a very approximate reference, like the levy by groups.

14.In his German and French Constitutional History(Deutsche und französische Verfassungsgeschichte),Ernst Mayer has no doubt recognized the contradiction in the source material, but the solution that he gives in Vol.I, p.123,is impossible. He claims that on the Rhine, in Bavaria, and in Gothic Southern France only the Germans took the field, whereas berween the Seine and the Loire the general military obligation applied also to the Romans. One can imagine how such a Roman militia would have shown up between the Franks and the Goths!

15.That also applies when, as we later find prescribed in the Weissenburg service law and elsewhere, the ministeriale was supposed to be provisioned by the curia after the crossing of the Alps. Baltzer, pp.69,73. Waitz 8:162.

16.A manuscript of the Theodon Capitulary of 805,Chap.5,contains the sentence: “et ut servi lancea non portent, et qui invents fuerit post bannum hasta frangatur in dorso ejus”(“and that the unfree should not carry lances, and a spear should be broken on the back of whoever was found doing so after the order”). Waitz, Verfassungsgeschichte,1st ed.,4:454,interprets that to mean that the common soldiers who followed their lords to war were absolutely forbidden to carry the lance as their individual weapon. This interpretation is not acceptable. That chapter has to do with the bearing of weapons in peacetime(“in patria”: “in one’s own country”)and with the suppression of feuds. Freemen were forbidden to carry arms(shield, lance, and armor)in peacetime, but no specific punishment was provided. In the case of serving men, this prohibition was backed by a threat of punishment.

20.Peez, in “The Travels of Charlemagne”(“Die Reisen Karls des Grossen”),Schmollers Jahrbücher fur Gesetzgebung,2(1891):16,assembles all of Charlemagne’s travels and estimates that on the average he covered 1,100 miles each year of his reign. In the year 776 his travels amounted to almost 1,900 miles, and in 800 he covered almost 2,000 miles.

23.Daniels, in Manual of German Imperial and National Legal History(Handbuch der deutschen Reichs-und Staatenrechtsgeschichte),1:424,463,has already correctly observed that under the Merovingians the entire population cannot possibly have taken the oath. But his basis from the sources, on the other hand, has been correctly rejected by Waitz, Deutsche Verfassungsgeschichte,2d ed,3:296. The entire argument, however, arose from the erroneous interpretation of the basic concept, that is, of the Frankish people. Daniels was entirely right in believing that only the warriors took the oath, but he was in error in believing that this warrior class was already a class of vassals at that time. Waitz was right in his belief that the entire people(Volk)took the oath but incorrect in identifying this “people” with the population. As a result of our determination that the sources of the period are referring to the warriors(Kriegsvolk)when they say “people”(Volk),the entire dispute has become baseless. From the formal, juridical, and source-based viewpoints, Waitz is right; but objectively, in that the warrior class of the Merovingian period was the precursor of the vassal class of Carolingian times, Daniels is right.

3.Clerics, who do not seem to live completely like monks; and where they keep the rules of Saint Benedict according to his order, they should promise in word as much as in truth, and some of these the abbots especially should bring to our lord.

4.Then advocates, deputies, or whoever will have been elected as elders, and the whole mass of the people, twelve-year-old boys as well as old men, whoever had come to the assembly and are able to fulfill and observe the order of their lords, whetther peasants or men of bishops, abbesses, and counts or men of others, royal subtenants, tenants, clerics, and serfs, whoever as honored men hold benefices and services or were honored in vassalage since they are able to have the horses of their lord, arms, shield, lance, sword, and short sword, all should swear. And they should carry with them the names and number of these in a list, the counts likewise divided by single centenae [subdivisions of a county],just as those who were born within a district and will have been peasants and those frome elsewhere who have been committed in vassalage.

28.Baltzer, p.48,believes that the bow was not mentioned as a weapon of war in Germany before the twelfth century. But that is not correct. The opposing pieces of evidence are assembled in Waitz, Verfassungsgeschichte 8:123. Widukind 3:28 tells of two outstanding warriors who were cut down by arrows in 953. In 3:54,Otto has the Slavs fired on with arrows. Bruno, Chap.61,mentions “sagittarii”(“archers”). Continuatio Reginonis(Continuation of the Annals of Regino)for 962 has the Germans using marksmen(“sagittarii et fundibularii”:“archers and slingers”)in the siege of an Italian stronghold. Richard Richer has a similar account at the siege of Verdun in 984.

In addition, every man with twelve holdings should have a mail tunic; indeed, whoever possesses a mail tunic and will not have brought it with him should lose his whole benefice together with his mail tunic.”)
