sokemans

sokemans
Socmen, tenants in socage. Britton, because of their freedom from base services, calls them "sokemans," and their tenure "sokemanries;" which he describes to be lands and tenements which are not held by knight service, nor by grand serjeanty, nor petit, but by simple services, being lands enfranchised by the king or his predecessors from their ancient demesne. See 2 Bl Comm 100.
