Take your pick, Anguirel.

First off, the place where Manawyth was apprehended, was in the midst of Edoras, which is in Middle Emnet. Therefore, he actually comes under the jurisdiction of Eodwine. This may not necessarily be understood by the locals yet, so they'd bring Manawyth to Meduseld and be informed that they'd gone to the wrong place, and they had better 'move it to the Eorling Mead Hall'. Which puts them in a bit of a bind, as suddenly they realize their hopes of getting Manawyth amputated at the wrist, ankle, or neck, or whatever, suddenly has become less likely, as Eodwine is himself likely to speak for Manawyth.

Anyway, Eodwine will set a date for as long as he feels like.

Which will be 20 days hence, because he wants the month to be over and Manawyth to be declared "his man" before the trial begins, for the sake of protection.

But if Manawyth tries to escape and make Eodwine's job of protecting him that much harder, go for it. It's up to you, Ang.
