Plunkett writes on pg. 141 - "It was also a peculiarity of feudalism that these matters of public law— the prerogative of the Crown, the rights and duties of the baronage, the means of extraordinary taxation and so on—were intimately connected with land."

I thought it was interesting that what we now think of as public government powers were viewed as private property rights under English Medieval Law. I was wondering if the answers team could try to come up with examples of property rights in Medieval England that are no longer recognized as private property today and maybe discuss how these property rights came to be superseded.
