abstract:A fee or fief (Latin: feudum) was the central element of feudalism and consisted of heritable property or rights granted by an overlord to a vassal (or, specifically, a feoffee) who held it in fealty (or "in fee") in return for a form of feudal allegiance and service, usually given by the personal ceremonies of homage and fealty. The fees were often lands or revenue-producing real property held in feudal land tenure: these are typically known as fiefs or fiefdoms.
jusqu'en 1561: les descendants de Renaud de Feurs conservent le fief, en dépit des rivalités permanentes avec les habitants de Mâcon pour l'exercice du droit de guet et de garde.
