Historical.

(The usual spelling is now serjeanty.)

1. A form of feudal tenure on condition of rendering some specified personal service to the king.Frequently distinguished as grand serjeanty (see grand adj., n., and adv. Compounds 2) and petit (or petty) serjeanty (see petit adj. and n. Compounds 1, petty adj. and n. Compounds 1b). In their Anglo-Norman form, these terms occur in the 13th cent. According to Britton (c1292), grand serjeanty obliges the tenant to a service ‘touching the defence of the country’, such as acting as marshal, putting an army in the field, or finding a horseman and his equipment for the army, while petit serjeanty binds him to a service ‘amounting to half a mark or less’, such a carrying to the king a bag, a brooch, an arrow, or a bow without string, etc. Later writers give more or less differing accounts: see quots. The Latin of Magna Carta (1215) has occasione parvarum sergantisarum (v.r. parvæ serganteriæ).
