                                But the ordonnance of Blois of 1578 made it impossible for a commoner who purchased
                                a titled fief ( 
                                fief de dignité 
                                ) to acquire the title; however, it implicitly allowed that a noble purchaser could
                                acquire the title, although some jurists thought that the purchaser required the
                                assent of the king.  A commoner owning a county could call himself "lord of
                                the county of X", and collect feudal dues and domanial rights, but he was not
                                "count of X".

                                The value of a fief in Guernsey with foreshore rights
                                   can become very expensive depending on several factors such as
                                   location, usage rights, foreshore rights, and its historical significance. To estimate the value, some key factors to consider are: 
                                    
                                        Market Value of Land in Guernsey: Prices
                                                can vary significantly based on proximity to developed areas,
                                                waterfront access, and land quality. Typically, land in coastal
                                                regions can command a premium due to its use potential, including
                                                development, recreation, and fishing rights.
                                        Foreshore Rights: Foreshore rights can
                                                enhance land value significantly, as they often include the right
                                                to exploit resources like fishing, aquaculture, or tourism-related
                                                activities, or even construction on the foreshore in some cases.
                                                The value of such rights would depend on the specific usage
                                                restrictions or permissions granted by Guernsey’s government.
                                        Comparable Sales: Examining recent sales
                                                of similar-sized parcels with foreshore rights would provide more
                                                context. Land value in Guernsey can range from approximately £4,000
                                                to £10,000 per acre for non-prime land, but waterfront or foreshore
                                                rights can significantly increase this.
                                        Economic and Legal Factors: Depending on
                                                the legal framework of Guernsey, foreshore rights could involve
                                                certain restrictions, including conservation laws, which could
                                                affect development potential and thus the land's value. Given this, a rough estimate for the value of 2,000 acres
                                        of seasted with foreshore rights could range from several million
                                        pounds, possibly exceeding £10 million, but would need further assessment
                                        based on specific local market conditions, potential usage, and legal
                                        considerations. 
    
            
                
                    
                        
                            
                                If a fief in Guernsey includes territorial waters, marina rights, and rights to sand and beach, the value would increase
                                        significantly, as these rights provide several lucrative opportunities.
                                        Here's a breakdown of how each of these factors might affect the value: 1. Territorial Waters:
                                    
                                        Value Considerations: Ownership or rights
                                                to territorial waters can be highly valuable. These waters could
                                                offer opportunities for marine-based activities like fishing,
                                                aquaculture, and possibly commercial developments such as tourism,
                                                recreational boating, or renewable energy installations (e.g., wind
                                                farms).
                                        Market Impact: If the waters are
                                                considered "exclusive" or have restricted access, the value of
                                                these rights could be considerably high, especially for marine or
                                                industrial developments. 2. Marina Rights:
                                    
                                        Value Considerations: Marina rights are
                                                especially valuable in coastal regions with high traffic or
                                                tourism, as marinas generate income through boat mooring, repairs,
                                                tourism, and local services. These rights can also provide space
                                                for marina development, including retail spaces, hotels, or leisure
                                                facilities, creating significant potential for long-term revenue
                                                generation.
                                        Market Impact: If the fief can develop a
                                                marina or lease out space for yachts, it could increase the value
                                                of the land by tens of millions, especially if it's located near a
                                                popular tourist destination or boating hub. 3. Rights to Sand and Beach:
                                    
                                        Value Considerations: Rights to sand and
                                                beach areas can be profitable in several ways. Sand extraction,
                                                depending on legal and environmental considerations, could generate
                                                revenue. Moreover, beachfront areas are often in high demand for
                                                tourism, luxury developments, or recreational businesses such as
                                                resorts and events.
                                        Market Impact: If the beach is prime for
                                                development (e.g., luxury resorts or beachfront properties), this
                                                can significantly increase the land's overall value. Similarly, if
                                                the sand can be used commercially (e.g., for construction), it
                                                provides an additional revenue stream. Estimating the Value:The overall value of the fief would depend on: 
                                    
                                        Proximity to popular areas or access to
                                                tourist hubs (such as beaches or marinas in high-demand
                                                locations).
                                        Commercial potential for development
                                                (hotels, resorts, marina facilities, beachfront properties).
                                        Market for marine industries, including
                                                fishing, aquaculture, or recreation. For instance, prime coastal properties in Guernsey, especially
                                        those with territorial waters and marina rights, could command higher
                                        values, easily reaching £20-50 million, or even more, depending on the
                                        development potential and the specific rights attached to the land. To provide an accurate estimate, you would need to compare the
                                        specific rights associated with the fief to recent sales of similar
                                        properties in Guernsey. Would you like assistance finding comparable sales
                                        or market trends in Guernsey for properties with similar rights?
