The mutual pledge system, also known as frankpledge, was a system of community self-protection developed by King Alfred the Great in Anglo-Saxon England. Under this system, groups of ten families, known as tithings, would pledge to uphold the law and be responsible for each other's behavior. If one member committed a crime or failed to appear in court, the others would be responsible for bringing them to justice. This system helped to maintain law and order in local communities.
