: the fact of not entering
2
Scots feudal law : nonentres
Better explained here


non-entry
a feudal casualty. This was the rents from a dead vassal's property which fell due to his superior until the vassal's heir was entered with the superior
Since clue says 'in France' might not this suggest 'non-entre ' ?
It may well do.
I'd plump for non-entry rathe rthan non-entre.
I think the 'in France' bit probably just refers to the 'no' and then comes ENTRY (way in)
I think teh clue shoudl say vassal's heir as per Mamyalynne's link
Well,Buckle has sought this clue out, so may know more than we do - even answering on a post from 2006.
