socage

A Dictionary of World History

socage In Anglo-Saxon and Norman England, a free tenure of land that did not require the tenant to perform military service. He might pay a rent in cash or in kind, and perform some ploughing on his lord's estates. He was liable to pay the three feudal dues – 20 shillings when the lord's son came of age and when the lord's daughter married, and one year's rent to redeem his lord from captivity. In contrast to military tenure, no restrictions attached to the inheritance of the tenure nor to the marriage of the heir.
