What is a ceremony where men become vassals in a lord's manor?
Homage in the Middle Ages was the ceremony in which a feudal tenant or vassal pledged reverence and submission to his feudal lord, receiving in exchange the symbolic title to his new position (investiture). It was a symbolic acknowledgment to the lord that the vassal was, literally, his man (homme). The oath known as "fealty" implied lesser obligations than did "homage". Further, one could swear "fealty" to many different overlords with respect to different land holdings, but "homage" could only be performed to a single liege, as one could not be "his man", i.e. committed to military service, to more than one "liege lord". Every country in Europe had a king at its head, but he generally had little power. Each noble ruled like a little king over the peasants who lived around his castle. The nobles were joined to each other by an arrangement called "feudalism,". It was the rule that every noble must be the "vassal" of some "lord." Upon the death of his father, a young man that inherited his castle and estate, must visit this lord and go through an interesting ceremony called "homage." In the great hall of his castle, the lord seated himself. Then the new vassal, in full armor, knelt before him and swore a solemn oath, his hands between those of the lord, that he would be faithful in everything that was required of a vassal; he would love whatever the lord cherished, and hate when he hated. Then the lord kissed the vassal and raised him to his feet. There was put into the vassal’s hands a twig or a piece of turf from his own estate, and perhaps a vessel of water from one of its streams. This was done to show that the lord now gave the estate to him. Thus the ceremony ended.
