English Feudalism A Feoffee is a trustee who holds a fief or fee , that is to say an estate in land , for the use of a beneficial owner. The term is more fully stated as a feoffee to uses of the beneficial owner. The use of such trustees developed towards the end of the era of feudalism in the middle ages and became obsolete with the formal ending of that social and economic system in 1660. Indeed the development of feoffees to uses may have hastened the end of the feudal system, since their operation circumvented vital feudal fiscal mechanisms. Development The practice of Enfeoffment enfeoffing feoffees with fees, that is to say of granting legal seizin in one s land holdings holdings as only the king himself owned land by his allodial title to a group of trusted friends or relatives or other allies whilst retaining use of the lands, began to be widespread by about 1375. ref McFarlane, p.146 ref The purpose of such an action was two fold Akin to modern tax avoidance , it was a legal loop hole to avoid the suffering of the customary feudal incident s, namely the payment of feudal relief on an inheritance, the temporary loss of control of a fiefdom through Ward wardship where the landholder was under the age of majority of 21, and the forcible marriage of a young heiress. Nor could the land holding escheat , that is to say revert back permanenly to the overlord, as was customary where the land holder died without a legal heir. When the fiefdom was held by a group of feoffees, the death of the beneficial holder was legally irrelevant to its continued holding by them. They simply allowed the lands to continue to be used by the deceased s heir. The feoffees were an undying corporation which never suffered a minority and could not be given in marriage McFarlane, p.146 . The feudal overlord, the king himself if the land was held Tenant in chief in chief , was not entitled to exact feudal relief from the new beneficiary nor was he entitled to seize control of the lands and ... more details
