In the best of worlds, would not the number of Carls at a stead depend on the amount of arable land available within range of the stead. The clan would obviously want as much land in production as possible. So is punishing a bloodline by removing or not allocating land self defeating? Would providing an oxen team and plough be a strain on clan resources.
Can anybody make a rough calculation as to the amount of land
available around a stead?
