CONT

A rentcharge is an annual sum issuing out of land, but not as an incident of tenure, the due payment of which is secured by a right of distress. It is called a rentcharge because the land in respect of which it is paid is charged with a distress. Where there was no power of distress the rent was called a rent seck.(Halsbury, 4th ed., Vol. 39, p. 565).

[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).
