Appanage


 

The system of appanage has greatly influenced the territorial construction of France and explains the flag of many provinces of France. The word apanage or appanage stems from the Late Latin apanare meaning ?to give bread? (panem, compare the French court title Grand panetier), a pars pro toto for food and other necessities, hence for a "subsistence" income, notably in kind, as from assigned land.
