A Dictionary of Law
Inthe early ages of the fendal law, this was the name given to the grants of land made by a king or chieftain to his followers, which were held by no certain tenure, but merely at the will of the lord. Afterwards they became life-estates, and then hereditary, and were called first “benefices, * and then “feuds.”
