| Free ownership, the allodium, even under the form of small freeholds, still existed by way of exception in many parts. |
| The allodium was held as an unconditional gift rather than as a fief, although the beneficiary was expected to be at the king's disposal in future military campaigns. |
| He deprived the peasants of their allodium, and declared all land to be the property of the king. |
