What is fudalism?
After the Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, Europe was having political problems. The area also had issues dealing with economic problems and social problems too. As a result Feudalism was developed. Feudalism is a system of sharing land and in return was paying back in taxes or goods, and contains a hierarchy. This Hierarchy starts at the top with a monarch or a king. The monarch controlled all the land. Second came the nobles who were noble to the king (that is how they got their name). Nobles controlled a little piece of the monarch's land called a fief. On this fief the noble controlled knights and peasant's. Next in line were the knights. The kinght's duty is to protect the nobles fief or the king's kingdom. On the bottom of the hierarchy are the surfs, or peasant's. The surfs are tied to the land they worked on. They provide food for a Noble's fief. This hierarchy in Feudalism kept everyone in their place and the world in balance.

What is the difference between a fief and manor?
The answer depends somewhat on how specific or particular you want to be. A fief is the land granted to a vassal under feudalism. A manor is an isolated, self-contained village of sorts that is the entire (or less) land of a fief. A manor is typically 1000 acres and approximately 200 people. It is built around a manor house. Technically, there could be many manors on a single fief. So while a fief is the land granted by a lord to a vassal, the manor is the specific economic system of the manor-centric living system of the peasants and nobles in the middle ages.
A piece of land given to vassal by a lord?
A fief.
How Under the system of feudalism a fief belonged to which category?
Under the system of feudalism, a fief belonged to the category of land held by a vassal in exchange for military service and loyalty to a lord. The fief typically included not just land but also the rights to the resources and the labor of the peasants living on it. This arrangement created a hierarchical structure where lords granted fiefs to vassals, who in turn owed allegiance and protection to their lords.
Was a fief land granted to noble?
Essentially yes. It is land holdings granted by a greater feudal lord to a lesser one, who in exchange takes up certain duties and responsibilities. Possible requirements could be military service, garrison duty in the lord's castle, attendance of court to give advice and council to the lord, or hospitality to the lord. Over time these obligations were sometimes converted to cash payments instead of service, knows as scutage. A fief was inheritable, so the relationship could be passed between generations. A fief might be as small as a single manor, which would be held by a knight. Larger fiefs would be held by greater nobles, and might be subdivided among their own vassals, creating chains of feudal obligations.
