The feudal system was based on reciprocity: the lord (often the king) was loyal to his warriors, rewarding them in the right measure with lands and goods for their services and ensuring that they would continue to serve him in war and peace; the warriors (the knights) had the sacred duty to serve only their king, hold and govern the lands he had given them as a fief and fight for him if he called them to war.

A good feudal lord - if he was the king - made sure that his rewards for loyalty and bravery were seen by the recipient and others as just and open-handed; a good feudal lord - if he was the king's subject - made sure his loyalty was seen as rock-solid, paying homage to the king at the appropriate moments, and that he was seen by the king as a good administrator of his fief.
