The description is good, but a simple illustration of a typical seigneurie layout (with several seigneuries included) would be a great addition. Twas Now 05:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
You can find a good diagram at http://thecanadianencyclopedia.com/index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0007270. I don't know how to add the diagram into the main wiki page, but someone who does might want to do that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ezrafreeman (talk • contribs) 15:30, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Why is this topic used for just the seigneurial system of New France? Isn't the term just as applicable to France itself? -- Jmabel 08:28, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
- I don't know, I thought it was an adaptation of the remnants of the feudal system, based on the specific geography and circumstances of the St. Lawrence River. But I don't really know about 17th century French peasants or whatever :) Adam Bishop 08:32, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

- I changed the first couple of sentences to mention the broader use, but (at least for now) left the article otherwise intact. Jmabel 09:55, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)
[edit] Intendant
There's an article on Intendant and another on the Intendant System that I think should be considered for merging, or at least cross referencing. I'm not so concerned about the 'Intendant' article as I am about the 'Intendant System' article that is currently proposed to be merged into it. Some high level consideration is definitely in order. --Chaleur 19:08, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Well they should be cross-referenced, but this should definitely NOT be merged into the Intendant article. Adam Bishop 15:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] a question
what are the benefits of the seigneurial system? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.119.112 (talk) 18:00, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
