folc-gemote

folc-gemote
/fowkgamowt/ (folc-gemote Spelled also, folkmote, folcmote, folkgemote; from folc, people, and gemote, an assembly.)
In Saxon law, a general assembly of the people in a town or shire. It appears to have had judicial functions of a limited nature, and also to have discharged political offices, such as deliberating upon the affairs of the commonwealth or complaining of misgovernment, and probably possessed considerable powers of local self-government. The name was also given to any sort of a popular assembly???
