Lords
This is a feudal society that you ask about.
Lords, because they were higher up the feudal tree.
Lords were very important in Ancient China. This is because the country was run on a feudal system in which lords owned parts of the land and the people in it.
Feudal Lords were the ones who swore loyalty in exchange for land. They controlled all of the land.
Vassals served lords in exchange for protection and land rights. In the feudal system, vassals pledged loyalty and military service to their lords in return for the lord's support and the ability to use and cultivate land on the lord's estate.
The feudal system is old fashioned, but that is not what the word means. This refers to the political system that held from roughly the 9th through 15 centuries in Europe. Feudal lords held large territories, and there was no private ownership of land by ordinary individuals. The people living on the land were vassals and subject to the lords. The lords exacted taxes from the vassals based on what the vassals could produce from the land, and the vassals were also expected to remain loyal to the lords in matters of defense, etc. The lords themselves were usually subject to the king, who was in fact the sole owner of all the lands in his domain.
