from Peter of Blois' History of Croyland on google, A.D.
1114, pg. 250, at the ceremony for opening the abbey, Henry
I King of England:

"... I do also grant unto the said abbat and his monks, that
they shall have Frank Pledge [50] in all the Demesnes in
their keeping, and I do forbid that any one shall
intermeddle therewith, except themselves and their bailiffs;
and I do grant unto them right of Soch, Sach, Thol, Them,
Infangthefe, Hamsoken,[51] Gridbrege,[52] Blodwit,[53]
cognizance of concealment and treasure trove, Forestal,[54]
Flem and Flitte,[55] and Ordel,[56] together with the other
liberties which the royal power has been accustomed to give
to certain other monasteries.

[fn50] Right to call upon the freemen in decennaries or
bodies of ten, to be sureties for the good behaviour of
each. It was also called "tenemental," or "tementale."
[fn51] The privilege which a man had to hold his house or
his castle.
[fn52] Or "Grithbreche," right to hold inquisition on
breaches of the peace
[fn53] Americament of court for bloodshed
[fn54] Offences committed in the highway
[fn55] Or "Flemenefrit," the royal privilege of receiving or
relieving outlaws.
[fn56] Power of trying by ordeal"


Does anyone know where I can get the definitions of the
terms that are not footnoted with definitions?

The first five rights are briefly defined in the entry for "Franchise" in
J.S. Arkenberg's "Guide to Medieval Terms":
