medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
From: "Cormack, Margaret Jean" <[log in to unmask]>
> There are I believe various legendary accounts (Geoffrey of Monmouth?)
of people who obtained a "hide" of land - the amount that could be
circumscribed by an ox-hide - and cut it into a very thin strip
i know not from hides, but a standard unit of land measurement in the
Chartrain region (and beyond, of course) was the amount of land a team of oxen
could plow in a day.
