‘La banlieue était ainsi appelée parce qu'elle comprenait ordinairement le terrain qui contournait le chef-lieu de la juridiction jusqu'é une lieue environ de distance, mais dans une foule de localités elle était ou plus grande ou plus petite … La banlieue de Paris était plus de deux lieues aux environs.’ —Larousse, s.v.

page 191 note 1 Silchester must have remained at least for many years after the Roman occupation in the position of civitas peregrina, and as such retained its national institutions (Lavisse, Histoire de France, I. ii. 209). Fragments of three inscriptions found on the site record a collegium pereyrinorum civitatis Callevae, a corporation or electoral body of peregrini by and from whom the magistrates of the city were chosen. The Roman citizenship was not conferred on all inhabitants of the empire till the Edict of Caracalla (A. D. 212–17), and cf. Fustel de Coulanges, La Gaule romaine, p. 88.

page 197 note 2 The leucata is found in Saxon England. Athelstan granted jurisdiction round St. Wilfrid's church at Ripon for a leuca ‘on ilke side ye kyrk a myle’ (V. C. H. Yorkshire, ii, 214). ‘In Ripum Leuga S. Wilfridi totū circa ecc'lm i leuga’ (D. B. i, fol. 303).

page 197 note 3 There can he little doubt that the Sussex rapes preserve this idea of the measuring line or ‘rope’. Thus the Lowey of Pevensey is also styled a rape ; and the leucata granted to Battle abbey by the Conqueror is also termed the abbot's rape. That the leucata was a recognized adjunct to many English cities in the eleventh century, cf. Dialogus de Scaccario, 73. 1. v, 15, xxi, A 15, ed. Hughes, Oxford, 1872.
