SOCA

Soca is a shortened form of the word "soc" which means a liberty of exercising private jurisdiction. It is a privilege granted to a seigniory of holding a tenant's court. It also refers to the territory subject to such private jurisdiction.

1. The lord of the manor had the power of soca over his tenants, which meant he could hold a court to settle disputes and collect fines.

2. The soca of the seigniory extended over several villages.

These examples illustrate how soca was a legal term used in medieval times to describe the power and authority of a lord over his tenants. The lord had the right to hold a court and make decisions about disputes and collect fines. The territory subject to this jurisdiction was known as the soca or soke.
