constable watch system (jan 1, 1285 – oct 1, 1285)

Description:

During the early days of England, a system of protection was established to safeguard the cities and towns. This system involved citizens who were required to act as guards under the direction of a constable - the chief peacekeeper. The constable was responsible for ensuring that the citizens were trained and equipped to handle any threats that might arise. The citizens were expected to guard the city and pursue criminals, and failure to adhere to these duties could result in penalties. This system was crucial to maintaining law and order in the towns and cities of early England.
