Seigneuries were granted by the French monarchy during the feudal era. The king would bestow these land grants to nobles and loyal subjects in exchange for their service and loyalty, often to help with governance and military support in newly settled territories. This system was particularly prominent in New France (Canada) during the 17th and 18th centuries.
