During the middle ages, the term lord referred to rank. The term vassal referred to relationship. A lord is a baron or a count. He is one rank in the nobility below the king. A vassal is a person who must serve or obey another person under certain conditions. (It gets complicated. A knight had to leave his house and go to war to fight under his overlord for 60 days during a year.) In France the king could give an order to a Count and then the Count would give an order to his underlings. However, the king could not give an order to that underling!

What did a vassal do for his lord?
A vassal was a person who had gone into a mutual obligation with a monarch or feudal lord. The monarch or lord got the vassal's allegiance and homage. In exchange the vassal got land and protection. This was essentially an agreement of mutual support, and was very important from a military perspective. The with the evolution of the Middle Ages, the vassals were divided between a higher group, whose titles and lands became inherited estates, and a lower group, whose holdings were not inherited. The higher group became the titled nobility, and the lower, which was more numerous, remained as vassal knights. These people were required to maintain groups of trained fighting men who could be mustered in times of conflict. The greater members of the nobility had the equivalent of small armies. A simple knight might have only himself and a few followers and servants.
