Ordinance of Alsnö

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Ordinance of Alsnö (Swedish: Alsnö stadga) is an act by king Magnus Ladulås of Sweden, probably produced in Alsnö hus in September 1280, giving exemption from land taxation to those nobles who committed to produce a heavy cavalryman to the king's service. This established the frälse, the tax-exempt secular nobility in Sweden.
