Hunting right
The Hunting right allowed property owners to pursue wild animals, such as deer, boar, hares, or birds, on their land. This hunting right was a significant seigneurial privilege, symbolizing nobility and power. It was often exclusive to lords who owned large estates. A huntsman or park ranger often guided hunts and monitored for illegal poachers. The huntsman was paid by the landowner.
