Black's Law Dictionary

Henry Campbell Black, M.A. · 1910

An equality of blood or dignity, but more especially of land, in the partition of an inheritance betwcen co-heirs; more properly, however, an equality of condition among nobles, or persons holding by a noble tenure. Thus, when a fief is divided among brothers, the younger hold their part of the elder by parage; i. e., without any homage or service. Also the portion which a woman may obtain on her marriage. Cowell.
