154. The life of a 'Wallus', or 'Cambricus', 'homo', who
possessed a hyde of land, is fixed at 120 shillings, by the
same laws (of Ina, tit. xxxii. in leg. Anglo-Saxon. p. 20)
which allowed 200 shillings for a free Saxon, and 1200 for a
Thane (see likewise leg. Anglo-Saxon, p. 71). We may observe
that these legislators, the West-Saxons and Mereians,
continued their British conquests after they became
Christians. The laws of the four kings of Kent do not
condescend to notice the existence of any subject Britons.
