Abstract
In contemporary historical literature, the term "seigneurial system" [sen'oriia] is used in two ways—to mean a complex of feudal landed property rights and the broad rights over a dependent population deriving from it, and also as a form of patrimonial landholding [votchina] characterized by the minimal economic role of the lordly demesne or its complete absence. Here we are interested in seigneurial system in its first meaning and primarily as a social and political institution which was at one time the basis of the feudal structure. To what extent did seigneurial customs exist in Kievan Russia?
