A Dictionary of Law
A feud acquired by a vassal himself. Feodum simplex quia feodum idem est quod hereditas, et simplex idem est quod legitimum vel purum; et sic feodum simplex idem est quod hereditas legitima vel hereditas pura.
Litt. § 1.
A fee-simple, so called because fee is the same as inheritance, and simple is the same as lawful or pure; and thus fee-simple is the same as a lawful inheritance, or pure inheritance. Feodum talliatum, i. e., hereditas in quandam certitudinem limitata.
Litt. § 13.
Fee-tail, i. e., an inheritance limited in a definite descent.
