The royal manor of Berkeley was originally granted by William the Conqueror to the Norman Roger de Berkeley under the feudal tenure of fee-farm. However, the royal manor was privatized by King Henry II (1154–1189) shortly before he became king. Most of the manor was then re-granted to his supporter and financier the Anglo-Saxon Robert Fitzharding (d. 1170), of Bristol, as a feudal barony.
The King taking something back in royal possession, from a private individual, is the very opposite of Privatized --- which is defined as selling state-owned assets to the private sector.
In fact it's Nationalization --- or Normality --- considering feudal law only regarded the King as ultimate owner, who grants possession by his grace. Claverhouse (talk) 11:58, 14 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
