In Medieval and Early Modern Europe an society, a tenant-in-chief, sometimes '''vassal-in-chief''', denotes the high Nobles who held their lands as Tenant s directly from the Monarch , as opposed to holding them from another nobleman or senior member of the clergy. Such people were the backbone of the monarchs's influence throughout the State and include Prince s and Duke s (many of whom would have been immediate relatives of the monarch), and Earl s. The term is actually a Neologism of later historians. |
