Alodiary

/əˈloʊdiɛri/ noun

Definition

A person who holds alodial property; a record or register of alodial lands and their owners.

Etymology

From alodial + -ary suffix for persons and documents. Alodial stems from Medieval Latin allodium, from Frankish *alod (complete property). The -ary suffix creates both agent nouns and documentary records.

Kelly Says

An alodiary could be either a person with absolute land rights or a medieval legal document listing such properties—showing how medieval societies struggled to track who owned what without any overlord's permission.
