Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Frankpledge System No writer has hitherto made a study of frankpledge except in a very few of its aspects. From 1832, the date of Palgrave´s Rise and Progress of the English Commonwealth, down to the publication of Maitland´s Select Pleas in Manorial and other Seignorial Courts in 1889, interest was almost exclusively centred in questions relating to the time and place of the origin of the system and to its supposed importance in the communal organization of Saxon England. Maitland´s investigation as to its place in the tourn and leet system, published in the above-named volume, opened up a new field by emphasizing the real constitutional significance of the institution; and in the last twenty years there has been published and made easily accessible much material illustrating the procedure of the various medieval English courts that had to do with frank pledge, and thus affording a view of the system in operation. Only one person, however, has attempted to make such a study of the workings of the system as its importance demands, and even his investigation is limited in range to a local field, the city of Norwich; but the excellence and interest of this work (Hudson´s Leet Jurisdiction in Norwich, published some seventeen years ago) encourage the undertaking of a similar study of the institution wherever found in England.
