+This is how country folk, woodsmen, hunters, trappers etc, survive!  Once you get away from a town  and its hinterland, there aren't shops for everything, trade is limited -  these country folk need to source things for themselves.  This helps.
+  * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_land - for an overview of the original system and how it developed.
+  * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Forest_commoner - The remnants of the system are still in use today.
+This is a hybrid system, partway between renting the property and owning it.  The Occupant has some rights over the land (as granted to them by their landlord) but still pays a regular rent for the right to live there.  However, properties with Common Rights can be inherited by generation after generation of the same family -  so long as the rent is paid.  Moreover, the property can be sold, so long as the landlord is satisfied with the incoming tenant.  It gives country folk, in particular, some sense of continuity and a place they can call their own.

   * **Personal Rights** – Enjoyed by every individual in the community.
-  * Forage.  The right to forage for food, herbs and useful materials in the vicinity of their home.

+==== Manorial Rights ====
+Part of the Common Land system, The Lord of the Manor is minor countryside aristocrat, who oversees small communities  set within the common land.  A similar role was common through Europe, and alternate tiles include: Village Squire, Laird, Seigneur, Edler, Vavasour and Nobile.
   * **Manorial Rights** - These come with responsibilities to help maintain and protect the area and be responsible for a small local community.  The Lord of the Manor leads the community, protects them personally, and maintains a small Retinue of armed guards for defence.  (see below).
