Fol. 241, it is said to contain two foot and a half.' He then quotes the passage from Dugdale, but inaccurately, the correct reading being as follows: Et totum boscum quod vocatur Brendewode, cum frankbordo duorum pedum et dimidium, per circuitum illius bosci, etc.; see Dugd. Mon., Edn. Caley Ellis & Bandinel, vol. vi. P. 375. Du Cange simply says, 'Francbordus A...
