Carucate

  • The rod is a historical unit of length equal to 5½ yards. It may have originated from the typical length of a mediaeval ox-goad. There are 4 rods in one chain.
  • The furlong (meaning furrow length) was the distance a team of oxen could plough without resting. This was standardised to be exactly 40 rods or 10 chains.
  • An acre was the amount of land tillable by one man behind one ox in one day. Traditional acres were long and narrow due to the difficulty in turning the plough and the value of river front access.
  • An oxgang was the amount of land tillable by one ox in a ploughing season. This could vary from village to village, but was typically around 15 acres.
  • A virgate was the amount of land tillable by two oxen in a ploughing season.
  • A carucate was the amount of land tillable by a team of eight oxen in a ploughing season. This was equal to 8 oxgangs or 4 virgates.

    • The carucate or carrucate (Medieval Latin: carrūcāta or carūcāta) was a medieval unit of land area approximating the land a plough team of eight oxen could till in a single annual season. It was known by different regional names and fell under different forms of tax assessment.

    Illuminatus

    by: Gorguts

    Consistence of dreams
    Sweet liquid illuminates
    Illuminatus... Soul's Arsis
    Consistence of souls,
    Nothingness in emptiness
    Enobscuratus... Flesh's Thesis
    Lake of flameless thoughts,
    A lucid crisis
    Cogitabundus... Stillness of mind
    Inner-circle rises,
    Sentiments are fine
    Nihiluminatus...
    Life mystified through blissful light... Rise
    Heresy and Heretic contemplation
    Life purified earthly mind... Dies
    Abashed and aghast rebellion
    Sensitive Aura, peaceful Requiem
    Illuminatus... Soul's Arsis
    Translucid dogma, peaceful condolences
    Enobscuratus... Flesh's Thesis
    Life mystified through blissful light... Rise
    Heresy and Heretic contemplation
    Life purified earthly mind... Dies
    Abashed and aghast rebellion
    A Chrome existence, insipid pertinence
    Cogitabundus... Stillness of mind
    Confirm ecstasy, Blissfully
