Warren (free)



Free warren—often simply warren—refers to a type of franchise or privilege conveyed by a sovereign in mediaeval England to a subject, promising to hold them harmless for killing game of certain species within a stipulated area, usually a woods or small forest. The sovereign involved might be either the monarch or a marcher lord.
