What is the difference between seigneurs and censitaires?
A seigneur is a owner of land this land is leased to the seigneur by the king of France who then tells the seigneur to lease it to habitats or censitaires. the diference is that the censitaires have to inhabit, clear, and cultivate their plot of land. If they failed to do so, the seigneur could take back their land and concede it to someone else (with the intendant's authorization). Censitaires had a number of financial obligations to the seigneur. Every year, they also had to give the seigneur between one to four days of free work known as a corvée. They were also responsible for maintaining the section of the road that crossed their land and give the priest a dîme, which was a yearly tithe the church collected to support the clergy. so the seigneur has more power than the centitairs.
What was the Seigneurial system?
CharacteristicsA seigneury was granted to a seigneur.The seigneur was obliged to rent long lots (concessions) on his seigneury to tenant-farmers called censitaires (habitants).The lots were narrow rectangular tracts of land found perpendicular to a river allowing more settlers access to the river.The seigneur also built roads, a mill, an oven, and held a court to settle disputes.In return, the censitaires cleared their lots, paid rent as a portion of their income and in the form of food and produce (cens et rentes), worked 3 days a year without pay (corvée), and paid a tax (lods et ventes) if they sold their lots.
