AnswerVassals ruled lands granted to them by their king. Those lands were called fiefs. AnswerVassals swore to obey and support their lords or kings. In exchange for this they were granted fiefs, from which they could derive wealth by taking a part of what the serfs there grew. They were obliged to protect the serfs, and to see that they had land to work and live on.
Vassal is a piece of land. The land is based on the conditions of homage and allegiance.
