Samuel Johnson's Dictionary
CAPITEnoun
A tenure which holdeth immediately of the king, as of his crown, be it by knight’s service or socage, and not as of any honour, castle, or manour: and therefore it is otherwise called a tenure, that holdeth merely of the king; because, as the crown is a corporation and seigniory in gross, as the common lawyers term it, so the king that possesseth the crown, is, in account of law, perpetually king, and never in his minority, nor ever dieth. John Cowell
Etymology: from caput, capitis, Lat.
