Alienation Office
The Alienation Office was a British Government body charged with regulating the 'alienation' or transfer of certain feudal lands in England by use of a licence to alienate granted by the king, during the feudal era, and by the government thereafter. == Establishment == The first regulatory structure for controlling the alienation of feudal lands was created during the reign of Henry III (1216–1272), who issued an ordinance prohibiting his tenants-in-chief from alienating their lands held from him without his specific licence.
