*I didn't do too well. Why am I still confused that a Hundred is a unit of land (a division used for taxation purposes, as I recall)? Am I confusing it with something else?
I think that representation in the Hundred court was based on the unit of land called the Hide. So many Hides = 1 representative. Of course, I could be wrong...
