What Wikipedia says

A thing, also known as a folkmoot, assembly, tribal council, and by other names, was a governing assembly in early Germanic societies, made up of the free people of the community, and presided over by a lawspeaker. Things took place regularly, usually at prominent places accessible by travel.
