lord of the manor
d. lord of the manor.
(a) A feudal superior; an owner of a manor (now somewhat rare). Later more generally: an owner of a large house or estate. Now also in to play (also act) the lord of the manor: to behave in a grand, overbearing, or proprietorial manner.Feudal lordships of the manor consist of three elements: a title, a manor house or land, and certain rights granted to the holder; these elements can exist separately or in combination. Lordships of this kind are a remnant of feudalism but exist in current property law. Especially since the mid 20th cent. many titles have been purchased to which property and rights are no longer attached; these are known as incorporeal hereditament. Any rights attached to titles have lapsed unless registered in the Land Registration Act of 2002. [Compare post-classical Latin dominus manerii lord of a (particular) manor (from 1086 in British sources), Anglo-Norman seignur del maner (c1292 or earlier). Compare earlier landlord n.]
