Definition
Base-estate, lands held by base-tenants, who performed villeinous services to their lords; but there is a difference between a base estate and villenage, for to hold in pure villenage is to do all that the lord commands; and if a copy holder have but a base estate, he, not holding by the performance of every commandment of his lord, cannot be said to holding villenage, Kitch. 41.
