fealty
In the feudal system, one who pledges homage to a higher master is known as a vassal. The vassal swears loyalty and service to their lord in exchange for land or protection. This relationship is central to the feudal hierarchy, establishing mutual obligations between lords and vassals.
Vassal
In the feudal system the vassal gives loyalty, labor, and sometimes taxes or a portion of his harvest to his lord.
An Oath of Fealty is when one person pledges allegiance to another person. The medieval oath of fealty is when a vassal swears loyalty to a lord. The Oath of Fealty was sworn during a solemn ceremony necessitating an act of homage. The vassal would appear before the lord bareheaded and without and weapons. The vassal would then kneel before the lord, clasping his hands as in prayer which he would stretch outward towards his lord. This position signified total submission. The vassal then swore the Oath of Fealty. The lord would then take the hands of the vassal and announce his acceptance.

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 vassal was paid for past services (mostly as a knight during the King's wars) with land. In return for getting the land, its title and its income he promised allegiance to the king (his "liege lord") and promised to support him in person and with his local men and supporters in wars to come. It's called the feudal system.
The lord gave land to the vassal, the vassal promised his loyalty and service.
