2 Answers

The Lancashire and Cheshire Record Society Publications Vol 32 pp 18 - 69 detail the compliant brought by William Case against Alexander Banks, Abbot of Furness Abbey for the destruction of the village of Sellergarth in 1516.
Part of the document reads:
There are now 13 ploughs in the said town clearly "de Cayet" and "layd dowen frome their occupacion"
Could anyone please clarify the meaning of "de Cayet"?
Thank you.

Thanks Mamyalynne, I now feel quite embarrassed by not seeing the obvious. I`ve spent the best part of an hour trying to translate what I thought was French into English. If I could add a `smiley face` I would do! Thank you again for taking the time to reply, it`s appreciated.
