Reader's Guide
An overlordship came into existence by the process of the lord of the manor granting seizin of the fee concerned to his prospective tenant and receiving from him homage and fealty. An overlord had various rights under the feudal system, including receipt of either feudal relief or heriot on the succession of the tenant's heir, the right of escheat, and the right to the loyalty of his tenant. The overlord was bound to protect his tenant.
