If he owns land himself on which others work in exchange for shelter, food and protection; yet owes allegiance to someone higher like a duke or king.
The lord-vassal agreement, often referred to as feudalism, was a social and economic system in medieval Europe where a lord granted land or fiefs to a vassal in exchange for loyalty, military service, and protection. This reciprocal relationship established a hierarchy where the lord provided land and security, while the vassal offered loyalty and support in times of conflict. It was fundamental in organizing society, particularly during the early Middle Ages, and helped maintain order and governance in a fragmented political landscape.

A vassal is a person who must serve or obey another person under certain conditions. (It gets complicated. A knight had to leave his house and go to war to fight under his overlord for 60 days during a year.) In France the king could give an order to a Count and then the Count would give an order to his underlings. However, the king could not give an order to that underling!

fight for the king and serve them 2nd Answer: To expand that a bit, when a greater noble (was not always a king) granted land to a vassal the vassal could take on a number of responsibilities, including military service, hospitality for the lord and his servants, attendance of the lord's court to give advice and council, and participation in the lord's entourage. In the later middle ages the demands for physical military service could sometimes be converted to a monetary payment. This was known as scutage.
