A quick definition of pro servitio burgali:

Pro servitio burgali is a Latin term that refers to the obligation of a tenant to provide service to the lord of a borough in exchange for the right to occupy and use a piece of land. This type of service was usually in the form of an annual rent payment or the duty to watch and ward the land. In simpler terms, it means that a person had to do something for the owner of the land they were living on in order to keep living there.

A more thorough explanation:

PRO SERVITIO BURGALI

Pro servitio burgali is a Latin term used in law history. It refers to burghal service, which is a type of socage tenure where tenants paid annual rents to the lord of the borough. In Scots law, it is the tenure by which a burgh held its land of the king, and the service due was watching and warding.

Example 1: In medieval England, tenants who held land in a borough were required to provide pro servitio burgali, which included maintaining the town walls and providing soldiers for the king's army.

Example 2: In Scotland, the burghs were required to provide pro servitio burgali, which included watching and warding the town to protect it from attacks.

These examples illustrate how pro servitio burgali was a form of service that tenants and burghs had to provide to their lords or kings. It was a way of ensuring the protection and maintenance of the town or borough.
