... not every interest in land could be ... specifically recovered, for, the real actions were available only to freeholders, i.e. only to tenants who were seised of the land. A tenant for years was possessed, not seised, and if dispossessed he could originally bring only a personal action for the recovery of damages. It is true that by the close of the Middle Ages a remedy had been introduced whereby he might recover the term itself, but nevertheless he was still regarded, and has ever since been regarded, as a non-freeholder. (Cheshire, 12th ed., p. 38).
