The Liberi Homines, the FREEMEN, who were Odhal occupiers, holding in capite from the sovereign, nearly disappeared in the Wars of the Roses. Monarchs who owed their crown to the favor of the nobles were too weak to uphold the rights of those who held directly from the Crown, and who, in their isolation, were almost powerless.
According to K., teneant has for its subject not sororum filii, but the same subject as exigunt. Heredes properly refers to property, successores to rank, though the distinction is not always observed. Liberi includes both sons and daughters. Patrui, paternal uncles; avunculi, maternal. Propinqui, blood relations; affines, by marriage. Orbitatis pretia. Pretia==proemia. Orbitatis==childlessness.

We shall therefore take our leave of the former, as they were mentioned only, that we might state the question with greater accuracy, and, be the better enabled to reduce it to its proper limits. Homer. Cicero de off." But they are sometimes mentioned in the law books by the name of liberi, from the circumstances of their birth, to distinguish them from the alieni, or foreigners, as Justinian.
