The plural of annexum, referring to things that are annexed or attached, particularly in legal or ecclesiastical contexts.
From Latin 'annexa', neuter plural of 'annexus' (annexed or attached), from 'annectere' meaning to bind or tie to.
In medieval church law, 'annexa' referred to properties and rights bundled together with a bishopric—understanding these terms explains how political power was literally attached to land ownership.
