Note 63 — Section II
Reading edition
The process of subinfeudation was brought to an end by the Statute of Quia Emptores, 1290. "Our lord the king ... has ... enacted that henceforth it be lawful for any freeman to sell his land or tenement or any part thereof at his pleasure, so always that he who is enfeoffed thereof hold that land or tenement of the same chief lord, and by the same services and customs, whereby the enfeoffor formerly held them."
