The lord promised to support the king militarily and obey the him.
When a medieval lord accepted a grant of land, known as a fief, from a greater lord he became the vassal of that lord. In exchange for the fief the vassal took on obligations that could include military service, hospitality toward the lord and his servants, attendance of the lords court to provide advice and council, and serving in the lord's entourage. The lord was expected to provide protection for his vassals in addition to the land holding. By the 10th century the fief had become inheritable and the obligations of lord and vassal could be passed between generations.
