    Grand sergeantry is that where one holdeth lands of the king by service, which he ought to do in his own person unto him: as to bear the king’s banner or his spear, or to lead his host, or to be his marshal, or to blow a horn, when he seeth his enemies invade the land; or to find a man at arms to fight within the four seas, or else to do it himself; or to bear the king’s sword before him at his coronation, or on that day to be his sewer, carver, butler, or chamberlain. Petit sergeantry is where a man holdeth land of the king, to yield him yearly some small thing toward his wars: as a sword, dagger, bow, knife, spear, pair of gloves of mail, a pair of spurs, or such like.
