reading TR again, I notice that the population refers to adults, so a stead of 70 has 35 men, 35 women, and 70 children. This seems slightly extreme to me (half the population is under 15?), but the numbers in my list need to be increased by at least 50% to reflect this, which makes the issue of stead governance even more extreme -- the Pat. and Mat. may have to deal with 120-150 people!
