                  kindly tenants

                  this refers to a highly unusual form of tenancy, in which ‘kindly tenants’ held their tenancies for a low or ‘favourable’ rent (which included paying no rent at all). It seems that, unlike normal tenants, it was understood that that kindly tenants could be succeeded in their holdings by their heirs. They were also called ‘rentallers’.
