emblements
- The right of a tenant to harvest the annual crops they cultivated, even if they pass away before the harvest
- After the farmer’s sudden demise, his family was able to claim the emblements.
- Because she had planted and tended the crops herself, she held the right to the emblements.
- The emblements, though only relevant to annual crops, still offered a degree of posthumous security to the farmer.
