Allodialism
Definition
A legal, economic, and social system based on the holding of lands as allodium, meaning full private properties exempt from feudal dues, rents, or vassal services to a suzerain lord. This land tenure regime, though a minority during the medieval period dominated by conditional fiefs, represented an early form of absolute and independent ownership of the soil.
