The land given to a knight for his service is called a "fief." This land was part of the feudal system, where lords granted fiefs to vassals in exchange for military service and loyalty. In return, the knight would manage the land and provide protection to the lord.
The system of protection devised in medieval Europe was called feudalism. In this hierarchical structure, nobles were granted land, known as fiefs, by a king or higher authority in exchange for military service and loyalty. This arrangement created a network of obligations and protections among different social classes, primarily between lords and vassals. Feudalism played a crucial role in the organization of society during the Middle Ages.

Men who refused to fight in the war were typically referred to as "conscientious objectors." This designation applied to individuals who, due to their personal beliefs, moral convictions, or religious beliefs, declined military service. Conscientious objectors often sought alternative forms of service, such as non-combat roles or community service, to fulfill their obligations.
A knight could choose who he wanted to marry as long as she was within his social class. The girl has no choice and could be as young as seven or eight years old. Generally the knight would get the girl's dowry, and she had to wed him, since back hen, you didn't pick a wife- you picked a father-in-law. They would be married in the church and he would acquire all of her inheritance (if she had any). Then, they were expected to have children that would carry on the family name. They were considered unlucky if they had no sons. The lady's sole purpose was to give the knight children, money, and land.
Feudalism is the political system in which land is given for military service in medieval times.
