Detailed explanation-1: -Article 39 of the Magna Carta famously states: No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned, exiled, or in any way destroyed, nor will we go upon him, nor will we send upon him except upon the lawful judgement of his peers or the law of the land.
Detailed explanation-2: -(2) If any earl, baron, or other person that holds lands directly from the Crown shall die the heir shall have his inheritance on payment of the ancient scale of ‘relief’. That is to say, the heir shall pay £100 for the entire earl’s barony, the heir of a knight 100 shillings (£4) at most. Zoom.
Detailed explanation-3: -No person is to be distrained to do more service for a knight’s fee, or for another free tenement, than is owed for it.
