Allod

Allod, deriving from Frankishalōd meaning "full ownership" (from al "full, whole" and ōd "property, possession"; Medieval Latinallod or allodium), also known as allodial land was, in medieval and early modern European feudal law, a form of property ownership where the owner had full and absolute title. The allodial landowner, also known as an allodiary or hereditary lord, had the right to alienate the property, which was almost always land, a city plot, or an estate, and owed no feudal duties to any other person in respect of it.
