The weapons available to enforce the law were basically peasant farm tools. The law keepers of the Middle Ages were quite different from what we have today, and there were no official police organizations. The types of law keeping organizations differed from place to place as well.

In England, for example, there were constables, who were able to get support by recruiting from local peasants, when that was necessary, and tithings, which were the groups of peasant families from which the constables got their support. A tithing was nominally a group of ten households and was held responsible, as a group, for maintaining the peace. If one of the members of a tithing got into trouble with the law, the tithing was held responsible for seeing that the person was available to be tried.
