[ArM5] Some more questions on laws and priviledges

[Eivind Vetlesen]

Thanks! I'll try that.

It seems that feudal law was a bit looser in the south of France than I 
expected anyway. I read that about 1/3 of the land was held by freemen with 
no feudal ties and that bonds between the liege lord and and his subjects 
tended to be negotiated and not necessarily hereditary, so I think I can 
make the situation suit my plot anyway.

This is a good site for reference on the subject if anyone's interested:
