The feudal system is described by the Feudal Pyramid, which has four basic elements, the king, the lords, the common vassals, and the serfs. It is called a pyramid because each layer was supported by a much larger group that supported it, down to the serfs. The term vassal is sometimes applied only to those below the lords, but the lords were vassals.

What is feudal estate?

A feudal estate, also known as a fief, is a piece of land held by a lord in the feudal system, which was prevalent in medieval Europe. The lord granted portions of this land to vassals in exchange for military service, loyalty, and other obligations. The feudal estate typically included not only agricultural land but also villages and the peasants who worked it, establishing a hierarchical system of power and responsibilities within medieval society.
