gesithcundman

Definitions

A gesith.

Examples

“The gesiths, gesithmen, or gesithcundmen, were the military companions or followers of the Anglo-Saxon chiefs and Kings.”

“The penalty of the adultery of the gesithcundman goes to his lord, ‘according to ancient usage.’”

“Now, if we might regard the gesithcundman as one of a class to whom ten hides or twenty hides had been allotted by King Ine on a system providing in this practical way inter alia for the night’s entertainments, it would be natural that the food rent⟳ of the unit of ten hides should be fixed.”
