Aloer

Aloer

"Aloers" (the word is originally Catalan) were independent peasant proprietors of "alous" in what is now Catalonia, especially during the years between the Carolingian reconquest of the Spanish Marches from the Moors in the late 9th century and the consolidation of feudalism in that region in the 11th century. They generally practiced family-based subsistence farming.

The owner of property in "alou" (from the Frankish "alôd" = full domain) was considered by medieval jurists to have "no other lord than God".
