A quick definition of wapentake:

Wapentake: A word from old English times that means a division of land in some parts of England. It's like a neighborhood or community. In the past, it had its own court and a person called a bailiff who worked there. It's similar to what we call a hundred or ward in other parts of England.

A more thorough explanation:

A wapentake is a historical division in some English counties. It is similar to a hundred or ward in other counties. It was called wapentake because it was a place where people would touch their weapons to show that they were ready to fight for their community.

There was also a court within the wapentake where legal matters were handled. A bailiff worked in this court to help with the legal proceedings.

  • In Yorkshire, there were many wapentakes that helped to govern the county.
  • The wapentake of Agbrigg and Morley was responsible for collecting taxes and maintaining order in the area.
  • The bailiff of the wapentake of Staincliffe and Ewcross was responsible for making sure that justice was served in the court.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
