II.   Sovereign

An Alien is a legal fiction first created during the reign of Henry VIII of England (1509-1547) originally to describe “foreigners and strangers” from Venice and Pisa being granted certain extraordinary privileges and rights over property through the concept of a “Denizen”.

The word Alien is derived from a 16th Century created Latin word alieno meaning “stranger” derived from the Latin alio meaning “in another direction; one way; another way” and no meaning “to swim; to float; to sail”. Therefore, the true etymological meaning of Alien from its origin is “one who swims or sails in another direction or another way” in direct reference to the purpose built laws of exception afforded the Pisan and Venetian nobility by King Henry VIII at the time. The claim that alien is derived from alius (other) in Latin is a deliberate falsity.

From the 18th Century, an Alien describes a type of person, defined by state and created (born) by one (1) of two (2) methods:

(i) By a foreigner declaring allegiance to the monarch of another dominion, thereby establishing themselves as an ally such as the original laws of Great Britain; or

(ii) By a foreigner entering and accepting the jurisdiction of another dominion or state and who has not been naturalized under the laws of the particular dominion or state such as the early laws of the United States.

From the 19th Century, an Alien may be defined as either a friend or an enemy:

(i) An Alien enemy is a person who, by reason of owing a permanent or temporary allegiance to a hostile power, becomes in time of war, impressed with the character of an enemy and as such may be deprived of certain property rights and the ability to obtain remedy through the courts; or

(ii) An alien friend, also known as an alien amy is a person who, by reason of owing a permanent or temporary allegiance to a friendly power is afforded certain privileges and rights whilst not being a naturalized citizen or subject.

The deprivation of rights and privileges afforded an alien is called alienation. Alienation in real property law is the transfer of the property and possession of lands, tenements or other things from one (1) person to another.
