(a) Frode also enacted that seafarers should freely use oars wherever they found them; while to those who wished to cross a river he granted free use of the horse which they found nearest to the ford.

He decreed that they must dismount from this horse when its fore feet only touched land and its hind feet were still washed by the waters.

For he thought that services such as these should rather be accounted kindness than wrongdoing.

Moreover, he ordained that whosoever durst try and make further use of the horse after he had crossed the river should be condemned to death.

(b) He also ordered that no man should hold his house or his coffer under lock and key, or should keep anything guarded by bolts, promising that all losses should be made good threefold.
