In England all the land from earldom to peasant holding was governed by the conditional term of feudalism which had been imposed by the Norman Conquest. There was "no ownership" , no allodial land owned outright. Peasant holdings were normally transmitted from one generation to another as if they were owned. Common feudal law did not recognize this right for villeins, but practice contradicted law, and was endorsed by the courts. To complicate things land itself was classified as free or villein. Either money rents on one hand or labor services on the other might be owed for it. Land held by villein tenure was called "customary land" and was held under the custom of the manor.
