Commentary & Paraphrase
Brand: In Quo jure the plaintiff challenged the defendant's claim to enjoy rights of common for ten oxen and two horses in two hundred acres of arable and the right of his men to common with unlimited animals in three hundred acres of arable. The defendant attempted to make a dual title based on a final concord between his ancestor and her predecessor in 2 Richard I and also on the seisin of his ancestors since the time of Henry II. When made to choose between these two Robert initially chose the fine but, when this was challenged as not being genuine, opted for ancestral seisin as his title instead. This was initially challenged by the plaintiff as a descent to a lower proof but the parties eventually joined issue for the grand assize.
