Curtesy, in law, is the life interest which a husband has in certain events in the lands of which his wife was in her lifetime actually seised or sasined for an estate of inheritance.

It has been said to be an interest peculiar to England and to Scotland, hence called the curtesy of England and the curtesy of Scotland; but this is erroneous, for it is found also in Germany and France. The Mirroir des Justices ascribes it to Henry I. K. E.
