11. GeJ>ynco, 3. 88 LOCAL GOVERNMENT IN the two main judicial privileges of the Frankish royal vassals are shared by the English king's thegns; but there is no proof of their existence till a late period. Whilst it is quite possible that the thegn class originated in landless vassals who lived in the king's hall, there is evidence in plenty for the territorial position of the king's thegn from 828 downwards. 1 The charters record grants of land by the West Saxon kings to their thegns fideli meo... ministro hi consideration of faithful service. These grants are made fully and freely, with permission to the thegn to bequeath the land to whomsoever he pleases at his death. In most cases the land is freed from secular burdens, the trinoda necessitas being excepted. In some instances the grant is made in consideration of money. Beyond the fact that they are made hi consideration of past services, no condition appears to attach to these grants. 2 Maitland suggests, however, that duties may be implied which are not expressly stated.
