to a large degree, many of the extant legal records from the germanic tribes seem to revolve around property transactions. in early germanic society, the free men of property each ruled their own estate and were subject to the king directly, without any intermediate hierarchy as in later feudalism. free men without landed property could swear fealty to a man of property who as their lord would then be responsible for their upkeep, including generous feasts and gifts. this system of sworn retainers was central to early germanic society, and the loyalty of the retainer to his lord generally replaced his family ties.
