The concept of drengage, a form of land tenure in medieval England, involved peasants providing services to a lord in exchange for land use.
Drengage was prevalent in the Danelaw region of England, where Scandinavian influence had a significant impact on feudal structures.
Under drengage, drengs, or drengers, were peasants who held land in return for military service or other specific duties, such as guarding a castle or working on the lord's estate.
Drengage was often associated with privileged status, as drengs were considered to be of a higher social rank than ordinary villeins or serfs.
