Observations:

This is an extract from a taxation return covering the whole country. Scutage was 'a tax, instead of personal service which a vassal or tenant owed to his lord, sometimes levied by the crown  in feudal times' according to Chambers Twentieth Century Dictionary. Thus    

Peter Scudamore owes 1 shilling of the same [money] for the service of Robert of Ewyas.
