Read a random definition: restrictive condition

A quick definition of demesne:

Demesne refers to land that is owned by someone and not through a superior. It can also refer to land attached to a manor and reserved for the court's own use. In history, it was a manor that was held by the Crown at the time of William the Conqueror and was recorded in the Domesday Book. Demesne can also mean complete ownership of something. However, when it comes to incorporeal hereditaments, the owner only has something derived out of it and not complete ownership.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Demesne (di-maynor di-meen) refers to land that is held in one's own right, and not through a superior. It can also refer to land attached to a manor and reserved for the court's own use. Additionally, it can mean domain or realm.

Examples:

The examples illustrate how the term "demesne" can be used in different contexts. In the first example, it refers to a specific type of manor that was held by the Crown. In the second example, it refers to complete ownership of something. Both examples show how the term can be used to describe land or property rights.
