Historically a Lord of the Manor might be a tenant-in-chief if they held a capital manor directly from the Crown; otherwise they were mesne lords if they did not hold directly from the Crown, yet had their own tenants. The origins of the lordship of manors arose in the Anglo-Saxon system of manorialism. Following the Norman Conquest, land at the manorial level was recorded in the Domesday book of 1086. (The Normans' Italian registry was the Catalogus Baronum compiled a few years later.) The title cannot be subdivided. This has been prohibited since 1290 in the Statute of Quia Emptores that prevents tenants from alienating their lands to others by subinfeudation, instead requiring all tenants wishing to alienate their land to do so by substitution.
