Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, or, Lourens Alma-Tadema (1836 – 1912)

Denization
Denization was the granting to foreigners, rights, normally enjoyed only by British citizens, such as the right to own land. It was accomplished by a Monarch or head of state, publishing a legal document known as a “Letters patent”, which allowed for permanent residency. Denizenship no longer exists.
