That scene was based on an actual historical village communities, such as those in Castile, and the later medieval conflict between the historically self-governing communities and the centralized order that had previously tolerated them: https://digital.csic.es/bitstream/10261/220237/1/06_CommunityMeetings.pdf https://digital.csic.es/bitstream/10261/220237/1/06_Communit...

I noticed this recently rewatching the Pirates of the Carribean series (mythologized), then Black Sails (closer to reality, especially after season 2 when the showrunner read some current literature on pirates). It turns out a lot of pirate ships were democracies, they were often pro-abolition and happy to take on freed slaves as crew, and they didn't much care who you loved.
