BISHOP BRYNIOLFS STA&VE
Bishop Bryniolfs Ordinance. 5)
Bryniolf, with the grace of God, bishop of Skara, sends all men, who see
this letter, God’s greetings, and fatherly blessing.
All men should know, that, concerning the disagreement existing within
our diocese with reference to the privileges of the church, that our lord king
Magnus with the assent of our chapter decreed in the following way.
1. Graintithe, and that of every kind of growing produce and of cattle,

the whole tithe, either that to the bishop, or the priest, or the church, or the
hospital defend himself with seven jurymen. Fails he in this, then pay to the

and Hisingen, situated on the south side of the mouth of Göta Älf, were called.
2) Dalbo lot: Dalpeople’s share. The people of Dalsland.
3) Skara. A city in Västergötland.
4) This implies that there should be eight districts, whereas only seven can
be found in the text. The only explanation, that can be given, is, that Dalbo,
which has no share for reasons above stated, was the eighth district.
5) Cod. A. has no superscription to this, but the heading above used is
supplied from codex. II.
