Without a court; lacking a royal court or formal judicial court; bereft of courtly surroundings or court associations.
From 'court' + the suffix '-less' (meaning without or lacking), a straightforward English formation meaning the absence of courts or court-related features.
The word 'courtless' was rarely used because for centuries, courts were so central to power and culture that a place without one was almost unimaginable—it's the opposite of the ideal in medieval society!
