Second Book of Law:
1. royal benefaction to the Church (every 10 village has to build a church and provide for them)
2. inheritance of royal benefaction (upgrading beneficium to feudum)
3. about slaves, and murderer of slaves (in case of a slave killing a slave of other, the master of the slave have to pay reimbursement, or sell the slave a share the price)
4. about slaves who murdered free (the master have to pay many cattle, or hand over the slave)
5. about freeing slaves of others (pay fine in the form of slaves)
6. about thieving slaves (fist occasion: give back the stolen goods, and pay five cattle or lose his nose; on second occasion come the ears; on third occasion he should die)
7a. about thieving freemen (if can pay for himself, if not he has to be enslaved, from here see the previous point)
7b. repeaters should face the same terms, but on third occasion have to be executed
8. about embezzlement (comes' have to pay double what they embezzled)
9. baseless appeal to the king (pay fine)
10. about the tyranny of the comes (he has to pay back double)
11. about lies (a specific one, if someone lies that the present he gave was taken from him by force, he has to pay it once more)
12. about the unsheathing the sword (die by the same sword)
13. about maiming (with the sword; suffer the same maiming)
14. about wounding (with the sword; pay the fine defined at murder)
15. about the simple unsheathing (not even wounding; pay the fine defined at murder)
16. about those slaves who are appointed to lead the court or a castle by the king (is word as witness have to be accepted as the comes')
17. treason against king and country (no refuge in the Church; have to be excommunicated; sames with those who knew about it but said nothing)
18. tithe (tax for the church, 1/10 of the crop/produce; if not payed, then 9/10 should be taken; stealing from the tithe should be reimbursed)
19. about lies told to comes' or other faithful servants (specific lie: he lost favor at the king)
20. about schemers (basically about trying to turn people against each other; have to pay double what his tongue worth; if talked to only one person, his tongue has to come out)
21. about thieves as witnesses (about courtiers; if they steal something have to treated as thieving freemen, but their witness testimony cannot be accepted from now on)

About this is the core of his work. And mine too.
