What does it mean to be unamerced?

Unamerced means not owing allegiance to a lord or sovereign. It is an adjective used to describe something that is not subject to the authority of a higher power, such as a feudal lord or a king.

For example, if a person is described as "unamerced," it means that they are not bound by any obligations or loyalties to a lord or sovereign, and they are free to make their own decisions and live their own lives without interference from a higher authority.

The word "unamerced" is derived from the Old French word "amercier," which means "to owe allegiance." It has been used in English since the 14th century to describe situations where someone is not subject to the authority of a lord or sovereign.
