The duties owed by and the privileges granted to feudal barons are not exactly defined, but they involved the duty of providing soldiers to the royal feudal army on demand by the king, and the privilege of attendance at the king's feudal court, the <i><a href="/wiki/Magnum_Concilium" title="Magnum Concilium">Magnum Concilium</a></i>, the precursor of <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_England" title="Parliament of England">parliament</a>. </p><p>If the <a href="/wiki/Estate_in_land" title="Estate in land">estate-in-land</a> held by barony contained a significant castle as its <i><a href="/wiki/Caput_baroniae" title="Caput baroniae">caput baroniae</a></i><sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>a<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and if it was especially large – consisting of more than about 20 <a href="/wiki/Knight%27s_fee" title="Knight's fee">knight's fees</a> (each loosely equivalent to a <a href="/wiki/Manorialism" title="Manorialism">manor</a>) – then it was termed an <b>honour</b>. The typical honour had properties scattered over several <a href="/wiki/Shire" title="Shire">shires</a>, intermingled with the properties of others. This was a specific policy of the Norman kings, to avoid establishing any one area under the control of a single lord.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Usually, though, a more concentrated cluster existed somewhere. Here would lie the <i>caput</i> (head) of the honour, with a castle that gave its name to the honour and served as its administrative headquarters. The term <b>honour</b> is particularly useful for the eleventh and twelfth centuries, before the development of an extensive <a href="/wiki/Peerage" title="Peerage">peerage</a> hierarchy. </p><p>This type of barony is different from the type of feudal barony which existed within a <a href="/wiki/County_palatine" title="County palatine">county palatine</a>. A county palatine was an independent franchise so its baronies were considered the highest rank of feudal tenure in the county and not the kingdom, such as the <a href="/wiki/Barony_of_Halton" title="Barony of Halton">barony of Halton</a> within the <a href="/wiki/Palatinate_of_Chester" class="mw-redirect" title="Palatinate of Chester">Palatinate of Chester</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Creation">Creation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=English_feudal_barony&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Creation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><a href="/wiki/William_the_Conqueror" title="William the Conqueror">William the Conqueror</a> established his favoured followers as <a href="/wiki/Baron#United_Kingdom_and_the_Commonwealth" title="Baron">barons</a> by <a href="/wiki/Feoffment" title="Feoffment">enfeoffing</a> them as <a href="/wiki/Tenant-in-chief" title="Tenant-in-chief">tenants-in-chief</a> with great fiefdoms to be held <i>per baroniam</i>, a largely standard feudal contract of tenure, common to all his barons. Such barons were not necessarily always from the greater Norman nobles, but were selected often on account of their personal abilities and usefulness. Thus, for instance, <a href="/wiki/Turstin_FitzRolf" title="Turstin FitzRolf">Turstin FitzRolf</a>, the relatively humble and obscure knight who had stepped in at the last minute to accept the position of Duke William's <a href="/wiki/Standard-bearer" title="Standard-bearer">standard-bearer</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Hastings" title="Battle of Hastings">Battle of Hastings</a>, was granted a barony which comprised well over twenty manors.<sup id="cite_ref-S68_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-S68-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Lands forming a barony were often located in several different counties, not necessarily adjoining. The name of such a barony is generally deemed to be the name of the chief manor within it, known as the <i><a href="/wiki/Caput_baroniae" title="Caput baroniae">Caput</a></i>, Latin for "head", generally assumed to have been the seat or chief residence of the first baron. So, for instance, the barony of Turstin FitzRolf became known as the barony of <a href="/wiki/North_Cadbury" title="North Cadbury">North Cadbury</a>, Somerset.<sup id="cite_ref-S68_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-S68-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The exact date of creation of most feudal baronies cannot be determined, as their founding <a href="/wiki/Charter" title="Charter">charters</a> have been lost.

It bore no constant relation to the amount of land comprised by the barony, but was fixed by a bargain between the king and the baron.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>It was at the discretion of the baron as to how these knights were found. The commonest method was for him to split his barony into several <a href="/wiki/Fief" title="Fief">fiefs</a> of between a few hundred acres possibly up to a thousand acres each, into each of which he would sub-enfeoff one knight, by the tenure of <a href="/wiki/Knight-service" title="Knight-service">knight-service</a>. This tenure gave the knight use of the fief and all its revenues, on condition that he should provide to the baron, now his overlord, 40 days of military service, complete with retinue of esquires, horses and armour. The fief so allotted is known as a <a href="/wiki/Knight%27s_fee" title="Knight's fee">knight's fee</a>. Alternatively the baron could keep the entire barony, or a part of it, in <a href="/wiki/Demesne" title="Demesne">demesne</a>, that is to say "in-hand" or under his own management, using the revenues it produced to buy the services of mercenary knights known as "stipendiary knights". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Under-_and_over-enfeoffment">Under- and over-enfeoffment</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=English_feudal_barony&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Under- and over-enfeoffment"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Where a baron had sub-enfeoffed fewer knights than required by the <i>servitium debitum</i>, the barony was said to be "under-enfeoffed", and the balance of knights owing had to be produced <i>super dominium</i>, that is "on the demesne". This does not mean they were resident within the baron's demesne, but that they had to be hired with the revenue arising from it. </p><p>Conversely, a barony was "over-enfeoffed" where more knights had been enfeoffed than was required by the <i>servitium debitum</i>, and this indicated that the barony had been obtained on overly-favourable terms. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cartae_Baronum"><i>Cartae Baronum</i></h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=English_feudal_barony&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Cartae Baronum"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The <i>Cartae Baronum</i> ("Charters of the Barons") was a survey commissioned by the Treasury in 1166.

It appears that the survey was designed to identify baronies from which a greater <i>servitium debitum</i> could in future be obtained by the king.

(April 2019)">when?</span></a></i>]</sup> all barons who held <i>per baroniam</i> received individual <a href="/wiki/Writ" title="Writ">writs</a> of summons to attend Parliament. This was a practical measure because the early kings almost continually travelled around the kingdom, taking their court (i.e. administration) with them. </p><p>A king only called a parliament, or council, when the need arose for either advice or funding. This lack of a parliamentary schedule meant that the barons needed to be informed when and where to attend. As baronies became fragmented over time due to failure of male heirs and descent via co-heiresses (see below), many of those who held <i>per baroniam</i> became holders of relatively small fiefdoms. Eventually, the king refused to summon such minor nobles to Parliament by personal writ, sending instead a general writ of summons to the <a href="/wiki/Sheriff" title="Sheriff">sheriff</a> of each shire, who was to summon only representatives of these so-called lesser barons. The greater barons, who retained sufficient power to insist upon it, continued to receive personal summonses. The king came to realise, from the complacency of the lesser barons with this new procedure, that in practice it was not tenure <i>per baroniam</i> which determined attendance at Parliament, but receipt of a writ of summons originated by himself. </p><p>The next logical development was that the king started issuing writs to persons who did not hold <i>per baroniam</i> and who were not therefore feudal barons, but "barons by writ". The reason for summoning by writ was based on personal characteristics, for example the man summoned might be one of exceptional judgement or have valuable military skills. The arbitrary summons by personal writ signalled the start of the decline of feudalism, eventually evolving into summons by public proclamation in the form of <a href="/wiki/Letters_patent" title="Letters patent">letters patent</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Deemed_feudal_barons">Deemed feudal barons</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=English_feudal_barony&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Deemed feudal barons"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The higher prelates such as <a href="/wiki/Archbishop" title="Archbishop">archbishops</a> and bishops were deemed to hold <i>per baroniam</i>, and were thus members of the <a href="/wiki/Baronage" title="Baronage">baronage</a> entitled to attend Parliament, indeed they formed the greatest grouping of all. <a href="/wiki/Marcher_lord" title="Marcher lord">Marcher lords</a> in <a href="/wiki/Wales" title="Wales">Wales</a> often held their lordships by right of conquest and appear to have been deemed feudal barons.

A tenant-in-chief could be the <a href="/wiki/Lord" title="Lord">lord</a> of fractions of several different baronies, if he or his ancestors had married co-heiresses.

This prohibited land from being the subject of a feudal grant, and allowed its transfer without the feudal lord's permission. </p><p>Feudal baronies became perhaps obsolete (but not extinct) on the abolition of feudal tenure during the <a href="/wiki/English_Civil_War" title="English Civil War">Civil War</a>, as confirmed by the <a href="/wiki/Tenures_Abolition_Act_1660" title="Tenures Abolition Act 1660">Tenures Abolition Act 1660</a> passed under the <a href="/wiki/English_Restoration" class="mw-redirect" title="English Restoration">Restoration</a> which took away knights service and other legal rights. </p><p>Under the Tenures Abolition Act 1660, many baronies by tenure were converted into <a href="/wiki/Hereditary_peer" title="Hereditary peer">baronies by writ</a>. The rest ceased to exist as feudal baronies by tenure, becoming baronies in <i>free socage</i>, that is to say under a "free" (hereditable) contract requiring payment of monetary rents. Thus baronies could no longer be held by military service. Parliamentary titles of honour had been limited since the 15th century by the <i>Modus Tenenda Parliamenta</i> <a href="/wiki/Act_of_Parliament" class="mw-redirect" title="Act of Parliament">act</a>, and could thenceforth only be created by <a href="/wiki/Hereditary_peer#Writs_of_summons" title="Hereditary peer">writ of summons</a> or <a href="/wiki/Letters_patent" title="Letters patent">letters patent</a>. </p><p>Tenure by <a href="/wiki/Knight-service" title="Knight-service">knight-service</a> was abolished and discharged and the lands covered by such tenures, including once-feudal baronies, were henceforth held by <a href="/wiki/Socage" title="Socage">socage</a> (i.e. in exchange for monetary rents). The English <i>Fitzwalter Case</i> in 1670 ruled that barony by tenure had been discontinued for many years and any claims to a <a href="/wiki/Peerage" title="Peerage">peerage</a> on such basis, meaning a right to sit in the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a>, were not to be revived, nor any right of succession based on them.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the <i>Berkeley Case</i> in 1861, an attempt was made to claim a seat in the House of Lords by right of a barony by tenure, but the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> ruled that whatever might have been the case in the past, baronies by tenure no longer existed, meaning that a barony could not be held "by tenure", and confirmed the Tenures Abolition Act 1660.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Three Redesdale Committee Reports in the early 19th century reached the same conclusion.
