| The Anglo-Saxons had assemblies known as the folkmoot, the tribal assembly, and the shire moot, which was an assembly of the freemen of the shire. |
| A Folkmoot, for the whole of the City held at the outdoor cross of St Paul's Cathedral, was formerly also held. |
| If the accused did not appear on the day named for the trial, he was outlawed at the folkmoot. |
