Frankpledge, earlier known as frith-borh (literally \"peace-pledge\"Smith (1857:230) notes: \"The Anglo-Saxon term for the \"view of frank-pledge\"is \"frith-borh\"- literally \"peace-pledge.\"The term \"frith\"became, by a very natural blunder, corrupted into \"free;\"and so (in the Norman French) the compound word was converted into Frank-pledge.
