Barefoot szlachta
In the history of Poland, barefoot szlachta (Polish: gołota szlachecka, szlachta gołota) was the landless szlachta, who neither owned or rented land; the poorest szlachta, considered the "lowest of the high." In legal documents they were called impossessionati ("impossessionati, seu odarti alias holota"). Until the end of the 16th century landless szlachta had limited rights, in particular they could not hold an office and were subject to some restrictions in court, in particular, the nobles' right neminem captivabimus (a form of personal immunity) was questioned.
