fiefdom/manor Explanation: It makes sense in the context. See this other occurence of the word "mandement": "Viuz-en-Sallaz: l'histoire le **mandement** de Thiez Le mandement de Thiez appartenait aux seigneurs de Faucigny jusqu'à ce qu'Ardutius, 71e évêque de Genève, fils de Rodolphe et frère d'Aimon, sires de Faucigny, frère de Ponce abbé de Sixt, en hérite et le lègue à ses successeurs, évêques de Genève." http://www.viuz-en-sallaz.fr/mairie/?/1-Notre-Commune/Un-peu... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs (2008-05-24 10:14:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Andreea has found the definition of mandement, in this context, which seems to be specific to the Dauphiné. It certainly rules out "fiefdom" and "manor" is probably also inappropriate (as derived from English feudal history), though it might be the nearest one can get to a one word equivalent. Of course "manor" is now used somewhat more loosely, especially by the police. Reference: http://www.viuz-en-sallaz.fr/mairie/?/1-Notre-Commune/Un-peu... |
