The further you go back in time, the more likely it is that there is no organized centrally managed and enforced land registry, and the "owner" of any land is the person with the biggest militia to enforce that ownership.

When a bigger militia comes along, they take that land, and there is a new "owner".

So the way that you owned land was by guns, or using whatever weapons you had, to repel others who want to take that land from you.

Land ownership remains a huge problem in lots of third world countries as the records and registries are far from clear. Buy some sorta nice land anywhere in the third world on the fringes of development, and voila! Other owners will appear out of the woodwork to dispute your claim.
