	Serjeanty - LoveToKnow 1911
		Tenure by serjeanty was a form of landholding under the feudal system, intermediate between tenure by knight-service and tenure in socage.
		The germ of the later distinction between "grand" and "petty" serjeanty is found in the Great Charter (1215), the king there renouncing the right of prerogative wardship in the case of those who held of him by the render of small articles.
		Gradually the gulf widened, and "petty" serjeanties, consisting of renders,' together with serjeanties held of mesne lords, sank into socage, while "grand" serjeanties, the holders of which performed their service in person, became alone liable to the burden of wardship and marriage.

		Tenure by serjeanty was a form of land-holding in England, under the feudal system, intermediate between tenure by knight-service and tenure in socage.
		The legal doctrine that serjeanties were (a) inalienable and (b) impartible led to the "arrentation," under Henry III, of serjeanties the lands of which had been partly alienated, and which were converted into socage tenures, or, in some cases, tenures by knight-service.
