Socage in Europe
Definition of Socage
A variety of tenure with fixed and certain services, as distinguished from frankalmoign and knight’s service.
Socage was originally of two kinds, free socage and villein socage, according as the services were free or base. Free socage was of two kinds, socage in capite and common socage, but the former has been abolished. Common free socage is the modern ordinary freehold tenure. Villein socage is now represented by tenure in ancient demesne (q.v.)
