Angild is a term used in legal contexts to refer to a legal doctrine that allows a person to claim ownership of abandoned property. Under the principle of angild, if a person finds abandoned property and takes possession of it, they may acquire legal ownership rights over that property. The doctrine is based on the idea that abandoned property has no rightful owner and should be available for others to claim. However, the specific requirements and conditions for angild may vary depending on the jurisdiction. It is important to consult local laws and regulations to understand the applicability and limitations of angild in a particular jurisdiction.
