En Angleterre, la «nobility» se composait des pairs et, à partir de 1613, des baronnets. Les «lords», ou «peers», étaient définis institutionnellement du fait qu'ils siégeaient dans la première des deux chambres du Parlement. Depuis Édouard III la Chambre Haute (Chambre des lords depuis Henri VIII) était composée des hauts dignitaires ecclésiastiques et des barons. Ceux-ci étaient les lords temporels, les pairs du royaume, et formaient le «peerage». 2, record 1, French, - pair%20du%20royaume

Escheat therefore being a title frequently vested in the lord by inheritance, as being the fruit of a signiory to which he was entitled by descent, it may seem in such cases to fall more properly under the head of acquiring title to estates, viz, by descent, by purchase. But it must be remembered that, in order to complete this title by escheat, it is necessary that the lord perform an act of his own, by entering on the lands and tenements so escheated, or suing out a writ of escheat, on failure of which, or by doing any act that amounts to an implied waiver of his right, as by accepting homage or rent of stranger who usurps the possession, his title by escheat is barred. It is therefore in some respect a title acquired by his own act, as well as by act of law.(Blackstone, Book II, p. 244) 1, record 4, English, - title%20by%20escheat

[Incidents of tenure] The incidents of military tenure were the most extensive of all the forms of tenure and some of the incidents formed a part of the other forms of tenure as well. The incidents survived despite the decline of knight service because, except for homage and fealty, they became of increasing importance to the feudal lords as a source of money.(Anger and Honsberger, 2nd ed., 1985, p. 21). 1, record 5, English, - incident%20of%20tenure
