Feoffment refers to the act of conveying ownership of land through a grant of a fief or fee. A fief was a form of land tenure during medieval times where land was held by a vassal from an overlord in exchange for allegiance and service. The person who received the fief was known as the feoffee. Enfeoffment was the process by which possession and ownership of land was legally transferred to a feoffee through livery of seisin, which involved symbolic delivery of land.
