Definition of fee farm
Fee farm is a type of land ownership where the land is held forever, but the owner must pay a yearly rent called a fee-farm rent. The owner does not have to do any special services for the person they are renting from, like being loyal or doing military service.
For example, a baron or prelate might own land and pay a yearly rent to the king, but they do not have to do any special services for the king. This type of ownership is called fee farm.
The term fee farm comes from two words: "fee" meaning property and "farm" meaning rent. It has been used in different ways over time, but it always means holding land forever while paying a yearly rent.
