COERCIVE POLICE STRUCTURES IN ANGLO-SAXON ENGLAND
Abstract
The article, which is based predominantly on the legislative sources, deals with the ways of administration and police within Anglo-Saxon society which was inherited from the barbarian age and then used by a nascent medieval state. There are patronage and hundredal organization among them. Both were coercive obligations put on the subjects by the kings. The land-lords were made king's agents which were warrantors for their men. All free people were made members of the hundreds and the tithings which formed the so called «frankpledge system».
