The term for the land granted to a vassal in return for military service is "fief."

This arrangement was fundamental to the social and economic structure of medieval Europe.

It was in exchange for an oath of loyalty.
A vassal is a person who pledges loyalty and service to a lord in exchange for protection and land. This bond is known as feudalism, where the lord provides resources and security to the vassal, who in turn offers military and other services to the lord.
A vassals duties were to serve a lord of a higher rank and to keep faith and loyalty to the lord against all others.
The agreement you are referring to is known as subinfeudation. In this arrangement, a knight (sub-vassal) would pledge loyalty and service to a vassal in exchange for receiving a portion of land to govern and protect. This system created a hierarchy of land ownership and military obligations within the feudal system.
The lord gave land to the vassal, the vassal promised his loyalty and service.

The estate granted by a lord to a vassal is called a "fief."

Fiefs were essential for establishing the hierarchical structure of feudal society.
a oath of loyalty and a pledge of military service.
A vassal is not a promise; rather, it refers to a person in a feudal system who has pledged loyalty and service to a lord in exchange for land or protection. This relationship is characterized by mutual obligations, where the vassal provides military service or other duties, while the lord offers support and resources. While the bond involves commitments, it is more accurately described as a formal agreement or feudal contract rather than merely a promise.
