1 hr confidence: 
mensal parish Explanation: mensal parish [Rel.] Quellen The Catholic bishops received the revenues of one or two mensal parishes. Kommentar mensal, so weit ich weiß, ist das irreguläre Adjektiv zu "table"; Sinn macht es schon: Die Bischöfe leben also (u.a) von den Einkünften für sie bestimmter Gemeinden. Übersetzung Pfründe ? Quellen http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfründe Kommentar ich glaube, beim deutschen "Pfründe"wesen schwingen zu viele eigene Konnotationen mit.... scheint ein System zu sein, dass es so wohl nur in Irland gab, auch wenn es den Pfründen Kommentar There is also the expression Tafelgut which is close to what you want. Siehe auch: Tafelgut Unter Tafelgut (Mensa episcopalis) versteht man das Vermögen eines Bischofs. http://www.kipa-apic.ch/meldungen/sep_show_de.php?id=1469 property |

mensal property / mensal lands Explanation: Both of these terms appear to be in use: "Although appropriated to the maintenance of certain defininte persons, mensal property is nevertheless church property, and its administrator is bound to observe the canonical rules concerning it" "These lands seem to have been the traditional ‘mensal lands’ of the head of the McInerney" Reference: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/10194a.htm Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McInerney |

| Reference: mensal lands and bishop's demesne Reference information: I found the following and think this might explain what 'Mensalgut' is: .."Mensal lands of a bishopric appear to be such lands as in former times were considered requisite to the maintenance of the table of the bishop; or, in other words, for the support of the hospitality suitable to his station. As they were usually in the occupation of the bishop, they have been called demesne or mensal lands indiscriminately. " from "A treatise on the law of landlord and tenant" pg.828 http://books.google.com.au/books I'm just guessing, but this man might have been involved in some committee which administered the bishop's estate. |
