Quod feudum redeat ad dominum non praestitis servitiis, habes expresse in usibus feudorum libro II, titulo „quae fuit prima causa beneficii amittendi” cum unico paragrapho. Sed non est et probatur capitulo(?) „de dona, quae sub modo” libro I(?). Hoc ipsum ius extenditur etiam ad feuda impropria, quale forte est illud in Leunten(?), capitulo primo(?) de feudo non habente propriam feu(di) naturam, eodem libro paper damaged⌈[bro]bro paper damaged⌉.

De qua materia vide plenius capitulum de iure deliber. per totum. Ad quae iura tamquam communia et vicinarum regionum recurrendum, si non invenitur speciale.
