Libertas / Freols (Immunity & Privilege)
Lat. libertas ('freedom, immunity') / OE frēols ('liberty, franchise')
A royal exemption freeing an estate and its tenantry from public fiscal burdens, royal hospitality (*pastus* / *feorm*), secular labor dues, tolls on ships, and entry by royal reeves (*praepositi*).
Great monasteries like Canterbury, Worcester, and Glastonbury treasured these immunities as the financial foundation of their autonomy.
Locus Actionis (Place of Promulgation)
Lat. locus actionis ('the place of the transaction')
The named geographical location where the charter was drawn up, debated, and ratified by the royal assembly or provincial ecclesiastical synod.
Promulgation sites like Clofesho, Chelsea (*Celchyth*), Kingston-upon-Thames, and Tamworth reveal the itinerant nature of Anglo-Saxon kingship and the meeting places of early councils.
Lænland (Leasehold Estate)
OE lǣnland < lǣn ('loan, lease') + land ('land')
Land granted on temporary loan or lease—typically for one, two, or three specified lives—reverting automatically to the grantor (usually a cathedral or monastery) upon expiration of the term.
In contrast to perpetual bookland, lænland could not be sold or alienated, and was frequently used by bishops like Oswald of Worcester to secure military and administrative services from local thegns.
