Lords, because they were higher up the feudal tree.
Loyal warriors and bodyguards of their lords were often referred to as vassals or knights in feudal societies. They pledged their allegiance to a lord in exchange for land, protection, and sustenance. These warriors were responsible for defending their lord's territory, participating in battles, and maintaining the lord's honor and power. Their loyalty and martial skills were crucial for the stability and security of the feudal system.
The feudal system created a fragmented political landscape where power was decentralized among various lords and vassals, leading to competition and rivalry for territory and resources. The obligation of vassals to provide military service to their lords often resulted in conflicts over land and loyalty. Additionally, the lack of a strong centralized authority made it difficult to mediate disputes peacefully, increasing the likelihood of warfare as lords sought to assert their dominance. This environment fostered a culture of militarism and feudal obligations that perpetuated cycles of conflict.
