frank-pledges
Free pledges. The tithings or decennaries of the Saxons were so called because each of the members of a tithing was a surety or free pledge to the king for the good behavior of the other members, and if any offense was committed in the district, they were bound to produce the offender. See 1 Bl Comm 114.
