A medieval forest court with jurisdiction over a variety of matters, esp. the right to graze animals during the summer when deer were fawning. • The forest freeholders (the sweins) made up the jury of the Court. By the 14th century, the Court’s jurisdiction had expanded, and it acquired a form similar to the eyre courts. — Also spelled Court of Swainmote.
