WHAT DOES DENIZATION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Denization

Denization is an obsolete or defunct process in England and Ireland and the later Kingdom of Great Britain, the United Kingdom, and the British Empire, dating back to the 13th century, by which an alien, through letters patent, became a denizen, thereby obtaining certain rights otherwise only normally enjoyed by the King's subjects, including the right to hold land. Denization fell into obsolescence with the British Nationality and Status of Aliens Act 1914 c. 17, which instituted certificates of naturalisation, instead of—as it was with divorce until the year 1858 with the Matrimonial Causes Act 1857 c. 85—necessitating the procuring of an expensive private act of Parliament or possibly of a colonial legislature. Denization occurred by a grant of letters patent, an exercise of the royal prerogative. Denizens paid a fee and took an oath of allegiance to the crown. For example when the Venetian mariner Gabriel Corbet was granted letters of denization in 1431 for service upon the seas to Henry V and Henry VI, he was required to pay 40 shillings into the hanaper for the privilege.
