What reading level is The Feudal Regime book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This was called investiture (invest signified to put in possession of).
What the seigneur transferred was not the ownership of the fief, but only the usufruct ; legally he remained owner. The contract bound only the contracting parties and was valid only during their life. At the death of the vassal, the fief reverted to the seigneur; at the death of the seigneur, the vassal could keep the fief only by engaging himself anew to the new seigneur.
It seems that at first the seigneur, on the death ...of the vassal, made use of his right to take back the fief in order to give it to whomever he pleased. The heroes of the chansons de gcstc often proceeded in this manner, and we find exam- ples of life fiefs even in the twelfth century. But the custom that the son should enter into the condition of his father was so strong in the middle ages that the seigneurs resigned them- selves to allowing their vassals to bequeath their condition to their sons. Thus the heredity of fiefs was established; or to speak more exactly, what became hereditary was the right of contracting vassalship toward the seigneur of the fief.
