Now all the Norman kings had to do was to bring the feudal system over the Saxon law of land, so that the tribal land remained the only private land that which is called "boke land." This is land such as all our land is to-day, except land like our Cambridge Common. With a very few exceptions, all our land is "boke" land freehold land.
