And tho [those] that bicome cristene, Bi counseil of the baptisme, Aren frankaleyns, free men.
Piers Plowman, 13,034-6.
(English) A freeholder who held substantial land for which he paid only a small rent and who rendered little or no service to the lord.
Franklyn: was much the same as the Freeman. From Chaucer’s account, he would seem to have been a householder in a comfortable position, a well-to-do yeoman: “Withouten bake-mete never was his house, Of fish and flesh, and that so plenteous.
It snowed in his hous of mete and drinke Of all deinties that men coud thinke.
After the sondry seasons of the yere So changed he his mete and his soupere.”
As a surname the appellation occurs frequently in the Hundred Rolls and Inquisitiones Post-Mortem, as Franklyn, Franckon, for Franch-homme, or simply as Franks. Our Francombs and Frankhams have the same origin.
