In medieval England, government was characterized by a feudal system where power was decentralized and land ownership determined social hierarchy. The king granted land to nobles, who in turn provided military service and loyalty, while peasants worked the land in exchange for protection. The church also played a significant role in governance, influencing laws and social norms. Overall, authority was often localized, with regional lords exercising considerable control over their territories.
In countries that allow the private ownership of land the individual owner(s) have the right to sell their land. In countries where the government retains the title to real property, the grant must come from that government. In any case, only the owner has the power to sell real estate.
Imperialism means the desire of a country or government to gain imperial power, power through empire and gaining land.
