to two and a half plough-...lands a-picce. The riistici were attached to the land, and were sold along with the estate. 1 They were regarded with a certain amount of scorn and suspicion by their Frankish lords, who, whilst admitting that they were " needful for the land," found them useless for military service except in small numbers as light-armed archers. Perhaps they were rightly charged with being but lukewarm in their attachment to the Franks, and ready to sell information to the Saracens. There is very little evidence as to the monetary value of the casals ; but we know that when Hugh of Ibelin had to raise his ransom money in 1160, he received seven thousand besants for several large casals, and when Julian of Sidon sold some forty casals to the Teutonic knights about a century later, he received from twenty-three thousand to twenty-four thousand besants.
