One is inclined to ask whether there may not be something prophetic under the first entry under the next year; 'Hludowicus rex mense Januario, generali conventa habito apud Franconofurt, quos de regno Karoli tenuit captivos remisit in Galliam.
And Patrick founded a church there, ettenuit ilium abbatem (sic), et fuit quidem spiritu sancto plenus.
And Patrick erected Ard-Senlis, ubi posuit Lalloc sanctam et tenuit locum in Campo Nento; and they went with Bishop Cethech to his country.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "tenuit" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
