Capite, tenure in
Capite, tenure in, lands held by tenants immediately from the king. It was the most honourable tenure, and was of two kinds, either ul de honore, where the land was held of the king, as proprietor of some honour, castle, or manor, or ut de corona, where it was held in right of the Crown itself.

This tenure is abolished, so that tenures now created by the Crown are in common socage, 12 Car. 2, c. 24....
