A vassal was anyone who entered into a mutual obligation pact with a lord or monarch within a feudal system. Nearly everyone was a vassal of someone else, except the king, who might be vassal to another king in right of lands held as a duke or lesser title.

At times, the Kings of England were vassals of the King of France because they also held lands in Normandy or Aquitaine as dukes of those regions while at the same time being vassal to no one as King of England.

Duties under the feudal system of vassals could be very complicated at times.
