=== 10th century Normandy ===
When Rollo took Normandy from the French King Charles the Simple in 911 the ownership of Normandy was given ''quasi fundum et allodium'' — in absolute ownership, allowing Duke Rollo as seigneur to give everyday use of portions of land to his followers, in exchange for recognition of the lords' rights and agreeing to ''foi et homage'' - providing services and paying homage.<ref name="j&g"/> This continued until 1204 when Normandy once again became part of France, except for the Channel Islands where fiefs would in future be held for the English Crown in right of the ducal title.<ref name="j&g"/>
