A quick definition of fledwite:

Fledwite: A fine that a person had to pay if they ran away from the law and then surrendered themselves to the king. It was also the right to hold court and take a fine for someone who beat or struck another person. Sometimes, people could pay the fledwite to be free from punishment for running away.

A more thorough explanation:

Fledwite (fled-wIt) is a historical term that refers to:

  1. A discharge from a fine for a fugitive who voluntarily surrenders to the monarch.
  2. The fine set on a fugitive as the price for obtaining freedom.
  3. The right to hold court and take a fine for the offenses of beating and striking.

It is also spelled as fleduite and flighwite.

For example, if a fugitive surrendered to the monarch, they could be granted a fledwite, which would discharge them from the fine they were supposed to pay for their offense.

Another example is when a fugitive paid a fine to obtain their freedom, which was called a fledwite.

The third example is when someone had the right to hold court and take a fine for the offenses of beating and striking, which was also known as fledwite.

These examples illustrate the different meanings of fledwite and how it was used in historical contexts.
