In the law of the Middle Ages and early modern period, especially within the Holy Roman Empire, an allod (Old Dutch: allōd, lit. 'fully owned estate', from all 'full, entire' and ōd 'estate', Medieval Latin allodium), also allodial land or allodium, [1] is an estate in land over which the allodial landowner (allodiary) had full ownership and right of alienation.
An allod could be converted into a fief by the owner surrendering it to a lord and receiving it back as a fief. [5] Allodial land title is common in the Isle of Man which has laws with Nordic origins. A version called udal tenure exists in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, also of Nordic origin.
