A fief is a piece of land granted by a lord to a vassal in exchange for loyalty and service, particularly military support, during the feudal system. Characteristics of a fief include its role in the hierarchical structure of feudalism, the obligation of the vassal to provide protection and resources, and the lord’s right to govern and collect taxes from the land. Fiefs often included villages, farms, and sometimes towns, forming the economic basis for the vassal's livelihood. Additionally, a fief could be inherited, allowing families to maintain their status over generations.
