| has gloss | eng: :Material here has been extracted from the 1911 Britannica encyclopedia. Frankalmoin or frankalmoigne (from Norman French fraunch aumoyne “free alms”) was one of the feudal duties and hence land tenures in feudal England. By it an ecclesiastical body held land in return for saying prayers and masses for the soul of the granter. Not only was secular service frequently not due but in the 12th and 13th centuries jurisdiction over land so held belonged to the ecclesiastical courts. |
