The granting of land by a noble to a lesser noble was called subinfeudation.
2nd Answer: This is partially correct. Subinfeudation is when a lord grants land to a lesser noble which the first lord already holds as a fief from a greater lord. So if an earl hold 20 manors from a duke or king, and in turn grants ten of them as fiefs to knights so he has his own vassals, this is subinfeudation. The general process of granting land in exchange for military service or other duties or obligations would be in general called vassalage. The lesser lord becomes the vassal of the greater. The vassal swears homage and fealty. The lord transfers control of the land in question and agrees to provide protection for the vassal.
It was also possible for a vassal to have more than one lord. A vassal could only swear homage to one person, who was his primary lord, and his first loyalty in the case of a conflict of interest, but it was possible to swear fealty to more than one lord, and hold land from multiple greater lords.
Monarchs and lords granted land to vassals. A person who made the grant was called the liege. So a lord who did this was the liege lord.

Vassals, who were pledged to the common defense of the land. Under feudalism, the landed knights developed their own lesser autocracies and titles. The peasants (serfs) actually worked the land (known as a "fief"), and skilled artisans were generally a separate class.

In the feudal system during and after the Middle Ages, a "knight" was the level below the nobility, who were the level below the king. A "vassal" was granted the use of land in exchange for fealty to a noble or knight. The noblemen directly under the king were called the "barrens" (from which the title baronderives).
A lesser lord is bound in service to not only the King but also to the greater lords. The lesser lords are serve by the knights who are their subordinates.
