In medieval Europe, peasants who escaped from their feudal obligations and lived in a city for a year and a day were often granted freedom. This practice was based on the idea that if a serf could evade their lord's control for that period, they could claim their independence. Cities offered a degree of autonomy and were often seen as places where social and economic mobility was possible. However, this freedom could depend on local laws and the willingness of city authorities to recognize such claims.
