The system of hundreds was not as stable as the system of counties being established at the time, and lists frequently differ on how many hundreds a county has. The [[Domesday Book]] contained a radically different set of hundreds than that which would later become established, in many parts of the country. The number of hundreds in each county varied wildly. [[Leicestershire]] had six (up from four at Domesday), whereas [[Devon]], nearly three times larger, had thirty-two. | The system of hundreds was not as stable as the system of counties being established at the time, and lists frequently differ on how many hundreds a county has.
