[OE. type *tíen manna talu ‘numerum decem hominum’, a number (tale, or reckoning) of ten men.]
1. According to the ‘Laws of Edward the Confessor’, the contemporary Yorkshire (or ? general Danelaw) name of the Anglo-Saxon tithing, and also of the friþborh or frank-pledge by which the members of a tithing were made sureties for each other.
(The only known ancient authority for this is the ‘Laws of Edward the Confessor’, compiled c 1130–35. The alleged addition to the Treaty of ælfred and Guðrum, from which the term is quoted by Spelman and Du Cange, is found in no MS., and is apparently of later authorship.)

2. In parts of England under Danish influence, a name in 12th and 13th c. for the land tax levied on a carucate; the carucage.
In this sense the name was perh. connected with the tenmanland or tenmanlot, and tale may have had the sense ‘sum, account, reckoning’.
