EspañolCOURT OF WARDS AND LIVERIES
(Redirected from Court of Wards)
The 'Court of Wards and Liveries' was a court established during the reign of Henry VIII in England. Its purpose was to administer a system of feudal dues, but as well as the revenue collection, the court was also responsible for wardship and livery issues.
It existed between 1540 and 1645. It was established by two Acts of Parliament (''32 Henry VIII c. 46'' and ''33 Henry VIII c. 22''). The Court ceased to have a function in the 17th century due to the abolition of feudal tenures by the Long Parliament in February 1646 (New Style)[1]. The Court was abolished by a further Act (''12 Charles II c. 24'').
