Frisian freedom
The Frisian freedom (; Old Frisian: Fresiska fridom; West Frisian: Fryske frijheid; Dutch: Friese vrijheid; German: Friesische Freiheit; Latin: Frisonica libertas) was the form of governance, legal system, and social structure in Frisia during the Middle Ages, characterised by self-government and the absence of feudalism. Its main aspects included freedom from serfdom, feudal duties, and taxation, as well as the election of judges and adjudicators.
