Footnote 256: This account of the Winchester placitum is taken from my second article on 'The Custody of Domesday Book' (Antiquary, xvi.
The decision in 1220 is undoubtedly very strong on the distinction between status and tenure: 'nullum eratplacitum in curia domini Regis de villenagio corporis ipsius Martini nisi tantum de villenagio et consuetudinibus terre,' etc.
Item qualitercumque placitum terminetur in curia sive in deficiendo in lege vadiata sive per non defensionem dampna sunt semper taxanda per curiam .
I confess that I sometimes experienced hunger, and that often these words came to my lips: Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie; but I think I never pronounced them without adding this condition: si ita placitum est ante te.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "placitum" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
