parage or paragium

parage or paragium
parage /paeraj/ or paragium /pareyj(iy)3in/
In old English law, an equality of blood or dignity, but more especially of land, in the partition of an inheritance between co-heirs. More properly, however, an equality of condition among nobles, or persons holding by a noble tenure. Thus, when a fief is divided among brothers, the younger hold their part of the elder by parage; i.e., without any homage or service. Term from which "disparagement", meaning inequality, is derived. Also the portion which a woman may obtain on her marriage
