year, day, and waste

Read a random definition: irrational

A quick definition of year, day, and waste:

Year, Day, and Waste: A long time ago, when someone did a really bad thing like hurting or killing someone, the King or Queen would take their land and keep all the money it made for a year and a day. They would also let the land become all messy and not take care of it. After that time, the land would be given back to the person who owned it before, but they would have to pay the King or Queen some money to get it back. This rule was stopped in 1814.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Year, day, and waste is a historical right of the Crown to take the profits and waste of the land of people who were convicted of petty treason or felony for a year and a day. After that time, the Crown had to return the property to the lord of the fee. This right was abolished by the Corruption of Blood Act of 1814.

Example: If someone was convicted of a crime, their land could be taken by the Crown for a year and a day. During that time, the Crown would collect any profits from the land and could allow it to become waste or unused. After the year and a day, the land would be returned to the original owner or their lord.

Explanation: This example illustrates how the right of year, day, and waste worked in practice. It shows how the Crown could take control of someone's land for a limited time and use it for their own benefit. However, the original owner or their lord would eventually regain control of the land.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
