A seigneurie was a type of feudal land system in medieval France where a lord, known as a seigneur, granted land to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. Seigneuries were typically self-sufficient agricultural estates with a manor house at the center. The seigneur had the authority to administer justice, collect taxes, and oversee the economic activities of the seigneurie.
