Gavelkind
Gavelkind. A mode or rule of descent by custom abolished by the Administration of Estates Act, 1925, s. 45(1)(a), in the case of all deaths after 1925 except in regard to entailed estates, and descent from a person of unsound mind, as provided by s. 51 (ibid.), and see (English) L.P. Act, 1922, 12th Sched. (1)(d), and Re Price, 1928 Ch 579. The word is derived from the Saxon word 'gafol,' or, as it is otherwise written, 'gavel,' which signifies 'rent' or a 'customary performance of husbandry works'; accordingly the land which yielded this kind of service, in contradistinction to knight-service land, was called 'GAVELKIND' that is 'land of the kind that yields rent.' Lambarde (Perambulations of Kent, Edn. 1656, p. 585) first advanced and promulgated this supposition, which does not seem to be sufficiently comprehensive since 'gavelkind' does not necessarily denote land subject to rent, in opposition to the opinion of Lord Coke, who traced the word to 'gave all kinde' 'for the custom giv...

Esquire
Esquire [fr. escuyer, Fr.; scutum, Lat.; Gk., hide of which shields were made and afterwards covered], he who attended a knight in time of war, and carried his shield; whence he was called escuyer, in French, and scutifer or armiger, i.e., armour-bearer, in Latin.
