Here you will hear the rule that the marshall should have the booty that the king takes in any raid, if he carried it out and there was plunder.

Know well that if the king or another who will be in his place goes out to plunder or on a raid against the enemies of the cross, that is upon the Saracens, and defeats them through battle or through the will of our Lord, so that they flee before him and they dare to stay, and it so happens that he wins livestock as plunder: the rule states and commands all of the healthy animals, like the bulls and cows and mares and horses and goats and sheep and all other kinds of animals that are healthy should be under the control of the marshall and his office, and all these same animals that are given to the court that are healthy, for the common herd, thus should be under the control of the marshall, by right and by the assises.

Here you will hear for what reasons the king can disinherit his liegemen, without an ruling from the court, if they do any of the things with regard to him which are laid out here.

The first rule is, if it so happens that any liege man takes up arms against his lord, then he should be permanently disinherited. The second rule is,
