A written record or document that lists the customs, privileges, and regulations of a town, monastery, or feudal lord's domain.
From Medieval Latin 'custumal' (a register of customs), derived from 'custuma' (custom or duty), from Old French 'costume'.
Custumals were like the constitutions of the Middle Ages—monasteries and towns carefully recorded their privileges so kings couldn't take them away.
