Seigneurial System Of New France
The manorial system of New France, known as the seigneurial system (, ), was the semi-feudal system of land tenure used in the North American French colonial empire. Economic historians have attributed the wealth gap between Quebec and other parts of Canada in the 19th and early 20th century to the persistent adverse impact of the seigneurial system. Both in nominal and legal terms, all French territorial claims in North America belonged to the French king. French monarchs did not impose feudal land tenure on New France, and the king's actual attachment to these lands was virtually non-existent. Instead, landlords were allotted land holdings known as manors and presided over the French colonial agricultural system in North America. The first grant of manorial land tenure in New France was awarded to Jean de Biencourt de Poutrincourt et de Saint-Just in 1604, with the Seigneury of Port Royal in Acadia. This grant was reaffirmed by King Henry IV of France on February 25, 160 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
