Information
has glosseng: A liberty was a local government unit in England. Originating in the Middle Ages, a liberty was traditionally defined as an area in which regalian rights were revoked and where land was held by a mesne lord. Liberties were areas of widely variable extent which were independent of the usual system of hundreds and boroughs for a number of different reasons, usually to do with peculiarities of tenure. Because of their tenurial rather than geographical origin, the areas covered by liberties could either be widely scattered across a county or limited to an area smaller than a single parish: an example of the former is Fordington Liberty, and of the latter, the Liberty of Waybayouse, both in Dorset.

has glossspa: Una liberty (“libertad”) es una unidad de gobierno local en Inglaterra, de las cuales sólo dos existen en la actualidad: Middle Temple e Inner Temple. Originadas en la Edad Media, las liberties cubrían áreas de extensión muy variable, independientes del sistema usual de hundreds y boroughs por varias razones diferentes, normalmente relacionadas con la propiedad de las tierras. Debido a sus orígenes más vinculados a aspectos de propiedad que a geográficos, las áreas cubiertas por las liberties podían estar ampliamente dispersas en un condado o limitadas a una superficie menor a una parroquia: un ejemplo de aquello primero es la Fordington Liberty y uno de lo segundo, Waybayouse Liberty, ambas en Dorset.
