The historical process of removing feudal rights or obligations from land, freeing it from feudal control.
From dis- (remove) + feud (from feudal, relating to the feudal system) + -ation (noun suffix). This medieval and early modern term describes the dissolution of feudal relationships.
Disinfeudation was one of the ways European peasants gradually gained freedom from lords—it's a key part of how feudalism slowly died out!
