Vassalage was a key component of feudalism, which was a social and economic system that dominated medieval Europe. In this system, a vassal was a subordinate who pledged loyalty and service to a lord in exchange for land or protection. This reciprocal relationship established a hierarchy of power and obligations that defined feudal society, with lords granting fiefs to vassals in return for military service and loyalty. Thus, vassalage facilitated the organization of society and governance during the feudal era.
