torghfrith (ODan) noun

Appears once, where violence in breach of the torghfrith resulted in heavy fines to the king in addition to the victim. The concept, however, of a market peace appears elsewhere as well (ODan JyL 3, the sections dealing with manhælghi (q.v.) in OSw DL, SdmL, UL, VmL, and YVgL Fb).
