To avoid the concentration of land ownership that characterized feudal England, new England colonists set out to create a yeoman society consisting primarily of freeholders.
Feudal land tenure, a system in which land is owned by peasants from feudal lords. As it developed in medieval England and France, the king was the supreme lord, and there were numerous subordinate lords, down to the tenants they occupied.
The term of office was divided into freeholders and non-freeholders. Of the free tenures, the first tenure was in the Knights Order, mainly in sergeant-major and knightly service.
