A quick definition of frank-law:

Term: FRANK-LAW

Definition: Frank-law refers to the rights and privileges of a citizen or freeman. It means that a person is legally capable of giving an oath, especially as a juror or witness. If someone loses their frank-law, they are considered to be not trustworthy and are not allowed to give testimony. This was a serious consequence in the past, as it meant that they were never again allowed to make an oath or give testimony.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Frank-law refers to the rights and privileges of a citizen or freeman, particularly the ability to give an oath as a juror or witness. It was a legal status that allowed individuals to be considered trustworthy and credible in court.

Example: In medieval England, frank-law was highly valued and losing it had severe consequences. Those who lost their frank-law were considered to be of low character and were not allowed to give testimony in court. This meant that they could not serve as jurors or witnesses, which greatly limited their legal rights and opportunities.

Explanation: The example illustrates how frank-law was an important legal status that granted individuals certain rights and privileges, such as the ability to give an oath in court. Losing this status had serious consequences, as it meant that individuals were no longer considered trustworthy or credible in legal proceedings. This limited their ability to participate in the legal system and defend their rights.
