• All Seigneurs are in charge of their own feudal courts and maintaining the timeless customs of the Fief.  https://www.theislandwiki.org/index.php/Feudal_Court 

The Norman Fief de Thomas Blondel came about through the medieval fragmentation of Fief Au Canelly and consequently, of the initial half of Guernsey given by Duke Richard II in 1020 to Neel, Vicomte of the Cotentin. The Canelly family owned land near Cherbourg in Normandy in addition to the Guernsey territory (There is no existing record of the grant of the fief. It may be granted to the Canely family but there is a gap of at least 100 years before any record of that family’s connexion with the fief). In 1270, on the death of Sir Henry Le Canelly, the Guernsey fief was divided between his daughters. Guilemette, the wife of Henry de Saint Martin obtained a considerable part of the island originating later the fiefs of Janin Besnard, Jean du Gaillard, Guillot Justice and Thomas Blondel. This was confirmed by the tenants and officers of the Fief in letters patent issued by Guernsey's Royal Court under the Bailiwick Seal in 1463. A Thomas Blondel was a jurat of Guernsey’s Royal Court from 1421-45. The Blondel family has given several jurats to the island. Later the Columbines and Fiotts were the holders of the title. For a time, the rights over the Fief were divided in two. Pierre Robillard of Maison de Pleinmont, Torteval, was the Seigneur of Fief de Thomas Blondel. The title passed to his son and grand son. The rights over the Fief again joined during the XIX century as shown in documents of 11/10/1800 (Reg Tome 26, p 420) and 19/05/1798 (Date tome 25, no pages in the tome).

The Fief is spread over areas in the parishes of St. Pierre-du-Bois and Torteval. The chief pleas of the Seignorial court of Fief Thomas Blondel were held annually at the mounting block or steps (perron) of the Church of St. Pierre-du-Bois. A little over half of Fief de Thomas Blondel was exempt from chef rents by virtue of two legal documents dated 18 July 1440 and 24 May 1447.

• A fief is an estate of land granted by the monarch in return for feudal service – the terms of service vary for different fiefs.
• In Geurnsey the feudal-free-holder or owner of a fief is called a Seigneur –a similar position to a feudal baronnie or freiherr who owns an allodial right in lands.
• One of the ancient feudal rigths for the Seigneur in Guernsey is to hold a feudal court which can be done on the Fief s Beach or Foreshore.
• A duty of the Seigneur in Guernsey is maintain the rights of the fiefdom which have existed since Rollo the Viking conquered the region of Normandy.
• The King of France lost Normandy to the Vikings, however, the fiefs have their roots in feudal allegiance to the Viking Dukes of Normandy during the 11th and 12th centuries.
• Feudal Noble Fiefs are inherited but can be bought and sold just like Barons by Tenure where the rights are considered timeless, natural law,  honnorific and ceremonial value.
• There are 23 private fiefs in Guernsey. The rest of the fiefs are owned by the Queen or Crown.
• There are some  fiefs in Guernsey which do not and have not ever pledged fielty to the Crown.

In France, a seigneur noble of a fief could claim to be a: "seigneur de la baronnie" de Blondel"
*a roturier (commoner) could only be a seigneur de la baronnie (lord of the barony).

During the Ancien Régime, French baronies were very much like Scottish ones. Feudal landholders were entitled to style themselves baron if they were nobles; a roturier (commoner) could only be a seigneur de la baronnie (lord of the barony).   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baron

The Ancien Régime (French pronunciation: ?[?~.sj?~ ?e?im]; French for "old regime") was the political and social system of the Kingdom of France from the Late Middle Ages (c.?15th century) until 1792, when hereditary monarchy and the feudal system of French nobility were abolished by the French Revolution.[1]  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancien_R%C3%A9gime

Allodial lands are the absolute property of their owner and not subject to any rent, service, or acknowledgment to a superior. Allodial title is therefore an alternative to feudal land tenure.   However, historian J.C. Holt states that "In Normandy the word alodium, whatever its sense in other parts of the Continent, meant not land held free of seigneurial services, but land held by hereditary right,"[5] and that "alodium and feodum should be given the same meaning in England."

The Fief has a Court of Chief Pleas  comprised the Seigneur, the Seneschal, the Priest, the Greffier and the Tenants, as owners of the tenements.  The Chief Pleas also had power to appoint 2 police officers, the Constable being the senior of the two, and the Vingtenier who would succeed him the following year.

Le Seigneur de Fief Blondel 

AD 1179 - We find Legal Reference of Lord Seigneur of Thomas Blondel, a noble fief, in  a charter of 1179AD when he is witnessing a grant to St. Michael's Mount. He is Robert Malmarchie (Thomas Blondel). 

1200's AD - The Parish of St. Andrew in which Thomas Blondel lies contained a group of four late 12 century ecclesiastical Fiefs, one held by the Bishop of Countances, the second held by the Abbot of Cormery, Tours, the third held by the Abbot of La Croix St. Lewfroy, Evreux, and the fourth held by the Abbess of Trinity, Caen.  The Fief Thomas Blondel derives its name, as we have already observed from the family of Malmarcher or Malmarchy who are recorded in the charters as existing  in Guernsey in the 12th Century.

In 1440, The Fief dom Grant of the Fief of Thomas Blondel in the parishes of St Peter of the Wood and Torteval, Guernsey, made by Janet Blondel to Thomas de la Court on 18 July 1440, attested by Jean Bonamy and Jacques Guille, jurats. See University of Leeds Library   GRANT of BLONDEL 

Chevetaine Chief of the Blondel Fief - Seigneur/Dame

Palatine, Palatiness
The ruler of a Palatinate.  The highest rank available to a non-royal vassal.  A palatinate is almost its own nation.  This rank is normally used as a modifier, e.g. Count Palatine

All local French lordships disappeared when feudalism was abolished in 1789 but the Channel Islands remained independent from both France and the United Kingdom.

Baronial Fief- Sir Thomas Innes of Learney in his 'Scots Heraldry' (2nd Ed., p. 88, note 1) states that 'The Act 1672, cap 47, specially qualifies the degrees thus: Nobles (i.e. peers, the term being here used in a restricted seventeenth-century English sense), Barons (i.e. Lairds of baronial fiefs and their "heirs", who, even if fiefless, are equivalent to heads of Continental baronial houses) and Gentlemen (apparently all other armigers).'

Seigneur de la Baronnie - During the Ancien Régime, Norman Frankish or French baronies were very much like Scottish ones, feudal landholders were entitled to style themselves baron if they were nobles, a roturier could only be a seigneur de la baronnie.

Palatine, Palatiness - The ruler of a Palatinate.  The highest rank available to a non-royal vassal.  A palatinate is almost its own nation.  This rank is normally used as a modifier, e.g. Count Palatine

The Seigneur of Fief Blondel is considered by law and Ancient Count Palatine of Fief Blondel.

The rights of Fief Thomas Blondel reunited in one holder (Count Marcov) after September 2000.

The Fief was Held by Count Marcov and publicized in many venues in Europe and worldwide on the internet which has created clear title and rights without any opposition from year 2000 until 2017 when it was sold to the present owner. Under international law, the Fief was held by Count Marcov for 17 years.

Sark's 500 people are governed by the Seigneur, a feudal baron with privileges dating back to 1565, when Queen Elizabeth I let Jerseyman Helier de Carteret and 40 men settle here.

Bankton states ('An Institute of the Laws of Scotland', II, III, 84)
that nobility 'followed the property of the estate to which it was
annexed'. Quoting Spencer-Thomas of Buquhollie v. Newell (SLT, 1992)

Craig states ('Jus Feudale', I, xii, 23) that 'where the prince makes
a grant of lands which have rank attached to them he enobles the
grantee even though no express conferrment of noble rank be made'.
Quoting Spencer-Thomas of Buquhollie v. Newell (SLT, 1992)

 Lord of the Manor -  A title, similar to Lord of the Manor, in French would be Seigneur du Manoir, Gutsherr in German, godsherre in Norwegian and Swedish, ambachtsheer in Dutch and signore or vassallo in Italian. In Italy, particularly in the Kingdom of Sicily until 1812, the feudal title signore was used; like the English title, it came into wide use in Norman times, from the French seigneur.
