Plural of customary; people who follow customs or traditions, or written collections of customary laws and practices.
From 'customary' (following tradition) with the plural suffix '-ies.' In medieval England, 'customaries' were written books that recorded local customs and rules that had the force of law.
Medieval monks meticulously created 'customaries' for monasteries—these weren't just rule books but sacred records of 'how we do things here,' and they're priceless sources for historians studying daily medieval life!
