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.

It is somewhat true and somewhat false, lords granted fiefs to peoples they trusted who then would become vassals to the lord. The lord might have given him the land for serving in the army, but that might not have always been the case.
