What are tenures?

Tenures are like rent for grown-ups who live in special houses called castles.

Imagine you're playing with building blocks. You stack them up high to make a castle. Now, if someone wants to live inside that castle, they need to promise they'll take care of it, and maybe pay some coins, like rent, every year. That promise is called a tenure.

When you're all grown-up, you might get to live in a castle because someone gave you a tenure. It's kind of like getting a special permission slip that lets you stay there, and maybe even pass it on to your kids someday!

Sometimes, if you don’t take care of the castle or forget to pay your coins, you might lose your tenure, and someone else gets to live there instead.

Tenures are like rent for castles, but with a little bit of fun and promise attached!
