The right of a medieval soldier to ransoms , riches and other armour or horses available from a battle .

Booty Definition from Law Dictionaries & Glossaries
The capture of personal property by a public enemy on land, in contradistinction to prize, which is a capture of such property by such an enemy on the sea.
After booty has been in complete possession of the enemy for twenty-four hours, it becomes absolutely his, without any right of postliminy in favor of the original owner, particularly when it has passed, bona fide, into the hands of a neutral.
The right to the booty belongs to the sovereign but sometimes the right of the sovereign, or the public, is transferred to the soldiers to encourage them.
This entry contains material from Bouvier's Legal Dictionary, a work published in the 1850's.
