See the Assises de Jerusalem, (310, 311,
312.) These laws were enacted as late as the year 1350, in
the kingdom of Cyprus. In the same century, in the reign of
Edward I., I understand, from a late publication, (of his
Book of Account,) that the price of a war-horse was not less
exorbitant in England.]
