resworn
Pledged again formally
Resworn is the past participle of reswear—to swear again, typically referring to oaths or pledges taken a second time.
Someone who has resworn allegiance has renewed a previous commitment: Having resworn loyalty to the crown, the knight was restored to his lands.
The word appears most often in legal, military, or ceremonial contexts where formal oaths matter.
