Fridstoll

Among ancient English writers, fridstoll, or frithstow, signified a seat, chair, or place of peace. The most famous example was in Beverley, which had the inscription Haec sedes lapidea Freedstoll dicitur, i.e. Pacis Cathedra, ad quam reus fugiendo perveniens, omnimodam habet securitatem.

The term also signified a palace, which was usually a privileged place.
