A variant spelling of heregeld, referring to a tax or payment in Anglo-Saxon England used to support military forces.
Alternative form of 'heregeld,' using the Old English root 'gild' (payment) instead of 'geld.' Both spellings appear in historical documents from Anglo-Saxon and Norman England.
Spelling wasn't standardized in medieval times, so you'll see 'heregeld' and 'heregild' used interchangeably in old manuscripts—it's like finding two versions of an ancient receipt!
