The law of fiefs supposed that originally all lands belonged to lords, who had had the generosity to abandon them to others, from whom the actual possessors derive their rights upon the sole reservation of certain services more or less onerous as a sign of superiority.

F. DE BURSA is a fee paid by Kings for military service to their vassals. F. DE CAMERA are the revenues of the Royal chamber. F. FRANCUM is a free fief, exempted from some or all service to the King. F. LIGIUM is land held from the "primary lord," from the lord who came first in any obligations; land held of the King. --b-- Chances are you'll find material related to this term in other areas of the Library, so look around. |
