Dominium

Dominium

In the civil and old English law: (1) Ownership. (2) Property in the larger sense, including both the right of property and the right of possession or use. (3) The mere right of property, as distinguished from the possession or usufruct. (4) The right which a lord had in the fee of his tenant. In this sense, the word is very clearly distinguished by Bracton from dominicum.
