ealdorman's, 60s.;. a 1200s. wergeld man's, 30s.; a 600s.
wergeld man's, 15s.; and a ceorl's 5s.

If any one plot against the king's life, of himself, or by
harboring of exiles, or of his men; let him be liable with his
life and in all that he has; or let him prove himself according
to his lord's wer.

If any one with a band or gang of men slays an unoffending man,
let him who acknowledges the deathblow pay wer and wite. If the
slain man had a wergeld of 200s, let every one who was of the
gang pay 30s. as gangbot. If he had a wergeld of 600s., let
every one pay 60s. as gangbot. If he had a wergeld of 1200s.,
let every one pay 120s. If a gang does this, and afterwards
denies it on oath, let them all be accused, and let them then
all pay the wer in common; and all, one wite, such as shall
belong to the wer.

If any one lends his weapon to another so he may kill some one

with his mother, who was given to his father as his lawful wife.
If a man knows his foe is sitting at his home, he may not fight
with him before he demands justice of him. If he has such power
that he can beset his foe, and besiege him within, let him keep
him within for seven days, and not attack him if he will remains
within. And, then, after seven days, if he surrenders, and gives
up his weapons, let him be kept safe for thirty days, and let
notice of him be given to his kinsmen and his friends. But if he
does not have sufficient power to besiege him within, let him
ride to the ealdorman, and beg aid of him. If he will not aid
