procuratory of resignation

the authority granted by a feuar to his representative (who is in this case called his procurator) to restore the lands held by the feuar to his superior, either to remain in the superior’s hands, or to be granted out again for example, by a charter of novodamus; this resignation was necessary if the feuar sold his lands to someone else, who would then have to have the lands re-granted by the superior to him to complete his title.
