Englishry. With the Norman conquerors of England, 'Englishry,' like 'Jewry,' was a term of contempt. In cases of murder, the hundred was punished, unless it could make a 'presentment of Englishry,' showing that the person slain belonged to the conquered race; and this invidious race-privilege was not abolished till the reign of Edward III.
