un-forworht
; adj. Unobstructed, without hindrance, free; the term is used of land that after several lives was to revert to the grantor, and seems to render the word immunis in the Latin charters :-- On ða gerád, weorce hé ðæt hé weorce, ðæt ðæt land seó unforworht intó ðære hálgan stowe (the Latin previously in the same charter is: Ad usum primatis in Weogornaceastre redeat inmunis. See also the passage: Tellus episcopali restituatur cathedrae absque ullius controversiae obstaculo, iii. 232, 24), Cod. Dip. Kmbl. ii. 396, 33: 397, 29: 384, 22. (The formula is common in Oswald's charters. See Cod. Dip. Kmbl. i. xxxiii, and Kemble's Saxons in England, i. 312.) un-forworht
