The above-named statute forbade the future subinfeudation of lands, and consequently hindered the further creation of manors. |
In early feudal times the baron in turn, in a process of subinfeudation, might have had his own subordinate barons. |
This was called subinfeudation, and the vassal of a vassal was called a subvassal or subtenant. |
The new power centres were reluctant to see the process continue and therefore refused to allow further segmentation and subinfeudation. |
For, the practice of subinfeudation, which in our country was actively checked, became in France almost universal. |
The Statute of Quia Emptores of 1290 had the effect of preventing further subinfeudation of land. |
