A feudal obligation requiring peasants to provide labor service or transport with horses and carts for their lord.
From Old French 'arrage,' derived from 'ar-' (to) + 'roue' (wheel). This feudal duty involved providing wheeled transport, reflecting the value of mobility in medieval economy.
Arriage was one of the most hated feudal obligations because it disrupted peasants' agricultural work—forcing them to use their animals for the lord meant crops might not get planted or harvested at critical times.
