German term or phrase: landesfürstliche Gerichte
"Im Gegensatz zu anderen Teilen des Reiches gab in Tirol kaum Leibeigene. Die Tiroler Bauern unterstanden daher nicht der Gerichtsbarkeit der Grundherren, sondern den landesfürstlichen Gerichten"

not answerable to the jurisdiction of landlords, but to the sovereign courts / royal courts / territorial courts... I'm not sure which is correct/appropriate here. Grateful for any help.

English translation:princely courts
Explanation:
This term seems to be widely used for those local rulers.
Perhaps also in this case, "comital courts." Compare with example below:

"The Tyrolean parliament probably formed around 1300 as an outgrowth of the princely council and the comital court, which often met together at Meran."
