In its origin ,
a fief was a district of country allotted to one of the chiefs who invaded the Roman empire ,
as a stipend or reward ;
with a condition annexed that the possessor should do service faithfully both at home and in the wars ,
to him by whom it was given .
The law of fiefs supposed that originally all lands belonged to lords ,
who had had the generosity to abandon them to others ,
from whom the actual possessors derive their rights upon the sole reservation of certain services more or less onerous as a sign of superiority .
To this superiority was added that which gives the right of dispensing justice ,
a right which was originally attached to all fiefs ,
and conferred upon those who possessed it ,
the most eminent part of public power .
