Back in the pre-Revolution period the Seigneur was the lord of the manor. Whatever lands he owned were made available for others to live upon, but only with the collection of rent attached. He could also impose fines and taxes upon his habitants (the people having access to his lands in order to grow crops and otherwise work the lands for the benefit of the Seigneur...what we'd now call tenants).

After the Revolution, the role of the Seigneur was that of landlord. He would own rental properties and collect tithes, rents and a percentage of any crops grown. The habitants had more rights under the new constitution than they'd had under feudalism. Most importantly, they had the right to buy land and were not forced into a vassal situation

What were the pros of being a seigneur?

Being a seigneur, or feudal lord, came with several advantages. They had significant control over land and the peasants who worked it, allowing them to collect rents and taxes, which provided a stable income. Seigneurial privileges often included judicial rights, allowing them to preside over legal matters, and the ability to influence local politics. Additionally, seigneurs enjoyed social status and prestige, elevating their position within the hierarchy of medieval society.
