A person who holds lands directly from -- and therefore is answerable to -- the pertinent prince or king is what a tenant-in-chief is in Norman English culture.

Specifically, a tenant holds lands directly from a nobleman or senior clergy member. A tenant-in-chief is answerable to the relevant king or prince in return for not being responsible to an intermediary nobleman or senior clergyman. As a consequence, the tenant-in-chief must supply knights and soldiers upon a kingly or princely request.
