or royal authority to a successor.

of any illustrious person.

3. (Law)
Definition: The conveyance or transfer of an estate, either in fee for life
or for years, most commonly the latter. Bouvier.
Note: The demise of the crown is a transfer of the crown, royal
authority, or kingdom, to a successor. Thus, when Edward IV. was
driven from his throne for a few months by the house of Lancaster,
this temporary transfer of his dignity was called a demise. Thus the
natural death of a king or queen came to be denominated a demise, as
by that event the crown is transferred to a successor. Blackstone.
Demise and redemise, a conveyance where there are mutual leases made
from one to another of the same land, or something out of it.
Syn.
– Death; decease; departure. See Death.
