  Socage - LoveToKnow 1911
SOCAGE, a free tenement held in fee simple by services of an economic kind, such as the payment of rent or the performance of some agricultural work, was termed in medieval English law a socage tenement.
Certainty and legal protection were so essential that even villain holdings were treated as villain socage when legal protection was obtainable for it, as was actually the case with the peasants on Ancient demesne who could sue their lords by the little writ of right and the Monstraverunt.
An heiress in socage was free to contract marriage without the interference of the lord.

Socage was one of the feudal duties and hence land tenure forms in the feudal system.
As feudalism declined socage tenure increased until it became the normal form of tenure in England.
The holder of a socage tenure was referred to as a socager or socman.

Another type of free tenure was socage, primarily customary socage, the principal service of which was usually agricultural in nature, such as performing so many days' ploughing each year for the lord.
In addition to the principal service, all these tenures were subject to a number of conditions, such as relief, the payment made on transfer of a fief to an heir, and escheat, the return of the fief to the lord when the vassal died without an heir.

Socage — In English law, a tenure of lands and tenements by a certain or determinate service; a tenure distinct from chivalry or knight’s service, in which the render was uncertain.
Socage is of two kinds; free socage, where the services are not only certain, but honorable, and villein [sic] socage, where the services, though certain, are of a baser nature.
Petit sergeantry, was a tenure by which the tenant was bound to render to the king annually some small implement of war, as a bow, a pair of spurs, a sword, a lance, or the like.

 theories of land tenure
Socage tenure becomes associated with an ideology of control, in which land and people must be named, defined, and categorized so as to be made understandable and controllable.
Clearly, the socage land tenure system, which defines the proprietorships in Pennsylvania and Maryland, is an example of the desire to control, in this case to control centrally the land and the people who live on it.
One might assume that if the socage land tenure system is associated with the ideology of control, then the fee simple system, which offers liberal rights to the individual land owner, would be connected with freedom and opposition to control, but that does not seem to be the case.

 The Origins of Plough Monday, by Peter Millington
Socage was an ancient form of land tenancy in which the tenant was a personally free man and was responsible for paying the taxes on his own land, but owed suit of court, rent and often labour services at a manorial centre (Stenton, 1910 and 1927).
It was in fact this correlation which first led me to investigate socage as a possible factor in the origin of Plough Monday.
It could also have been partly responsible for the later spread of socage and of Plough Monday to a few locations outside of the Danelaw, since in some cases sokemen were responsible to religious houses.

 Vinogradoff, Agricultural Services
If those were certain, the holding was considered socage and protected at common law, if uncertain, it was deemed villainage and surrendered to manorial custom.
(28*) The burden of proof lay, anyhow, on the socager; it had to be shown that the labour services usually regarded as villain services were performed in a certain and well-defined manner, as if by convention.
It may have had its origin in speculations as to the meaning of "villain socage" which, of course, was agricultural, but merely as a species of villainage.

A term of the feudal system which referred to the tenure which was exchanged for certain goods or services which were not military in nature.
Socage is often described as "free and common socage" although the "free and common" qualification is now of a purely historical significance.
Synonymous with buggery and referring to "unnatural" sex acts, including copulation, either between two persons of the same sex or between a person and an animal (the latter act is known as "bestiality").

She responded, "Who should have issued them one, I don't know, unless it was the buffalo."[1] Secondly, Jonathan Hughes, in his book The Governmental Habit, contrasts the allodial and socage forms of land tenure.
"Socage tenure was part of the feudal order" and was inevitably carried over by the English to their landholdings in North America.
It was designed to protect the interests of the feudal donor ("transformed in our time into the state") by forcing "property owners to support the taxing power at all times" regardless of whether they desired or used state services.

 Feudal Tenure and Native Title: Revising an Enduring Fiction - [2005] SydLRev 3; (2005) 27 Sydney Law Review 49
The principle free tenure was socage and it became the usual form of tenure held in most parts of England.
That under the term free and common socage, the possessor of land would have, in effect, allodial tenure; the property meaning of the term allodial as defined by Blackstone was a holding of the entire of the property independent of any superior....
The remaining tenure, free and common socage, is more allodial than feudal in nature and is therefore inconsistent with the perpetuation of a feudal regime promoting absolute Crown ownership.

 GUARDIAN - Steven J. Coker
It is the duty of the guardian to take reasonable and prudent care of the estate of the ward, and manage it in the most advantageous manner; and when the guardianship shall expire, to account with the ward for the administration of the estate.
The common law gave this guardianship to the next of blood to the child to whom the inheritance could not possibly descend.
The distinction of guardians by nature, and by socage, appear to have become obsolete, and have been essentially superseded in practice by the appointment of guardians by courts of chancery, orphans' courts, probate courts, and such other courts as have jurisdiction to, make such appointments.

 History of Real Estate Law: The Old English Landholding System
The tenures granted by the king and lords were exchanged for a wide variety of goods or services such as Knight service (the tenant agreeing to serve as a knight in the king or lord's army) or "free and common socage", which referred to service or goods other than those military.
From this point on, the number of tenures was frozen except that the king was exempt from the Statute and he could grant additional tenures.
Eventually, incidents were prohibited and socage of all kind were eliminated and replaced only by free and common variety.

 EILEEN SPRING | Child Custody and the Decline of Women's Rights | Law and History Review, Volume 17 Number 2, 17.2 | ...
In medieval times, the manorial courts, the ecclesiastical courts, and the royal courts for socage tenures had all given consideration to maternal interest in the physical custody of children.
The major change the statute made, however, was to give all fathers the right to name guardians for their children, a fact that has been all too little noticed.
In the light of this development, and others she notes, Wright challenges the view, general among historians, that women's history has been one of linear progression to equality.

It allowed all the varieties of week work and custom found on common manors, and there is no trace of an objection to the lord claiming one particular performance instead of the other.(20*) It did not allow of any increase of the customary work and rents, nor of any arbitrary change in their customary arrangement.
it would include all the labour services performed by socagers, which were not few, and not always trifling.(27*) But there it stands, and it cannot but mean that agricultural service was the burden of villain tenure, as a rule, whereas the immunity of socage labour appears in the light of an exception.
I have been speaking hitherto of the ideas dominating feudal jurisprudence, and not of the many indications of the fact that this jurisprudence was welding together and transforming very different conceptions and conditions.

It fell into disuse because on any alienation of the land the tenure was converted into socage, and no fresh grants in frankalmoin, save by the Crown, were possible after Quia Emptores in 1290.
By 1660, frankalmoin had become so uncommon that it was not formally abolished in the Statute of Tenures.
In 1925 the tenure was converted into common socage.

When the Crown later bought this land from the proprietary possessors, the feudal relations were more simplified, and, in the case of both proprietors and crown, attested to the “royal feudal supremacy”
These eight grantees, afterwards known as the Lords Proprietors of Carolina, held supreme power with allegiance to the King.
