Vassal
In the feudal system the vassal gives loyalty, labor, and sometimes taxes or a portion of his harvest to his lord.
An Oath of Fealty is when one person pledges allegiance to another person. The medieval oath of fealty is when a vassal swears loyalty to a lord. The Oath of Fealty was sworn during a solemn ceremony necessitating an act of homage. The vassal would appear before the lord bareheaded and without and weapons. The vassal would then kneel before the lord, clasping his hands as in prayer which he would stretch outward towards his lord. This position signified total submission. The vassal then swore the Oath of Fealty. The lord would then take the hands of the vassal and announce his acceptance.

A vassals duties were to serve a lord of a higher rank and to keep faith and loyalty to the lord against all others.
A vassal was paid for past services (mostly as a knight during the King's wars) with land. In return for getting the land, its title and its income he promised allegiance to the king (his "liege lord") and promised to support him in person and with his local men and supporters in wars to come. It's called the feudal system.
The lord gave land to the vassal, the vassal promised his loyalty and service.

managing the operation of the fief and pledging loyalty to the lord
Doing homage in Norman England was a feudal ritual where a vassal would pledge their loyalty and service to their lord. It involved the vassal kneeling before their lord, placing their hands between their lord's hands, and making a verbal oath of loyalty. This act solidified the relationship between lord and vassal in the feudal system.
