Knights had a primary obligation to provide military service to their lord, typically serving for a specified number of days each year in exchange for land or financial support. This service included defending the lord's territory and participating in battles or campaigns as needed. Additionally, knights were expected to demonstrate loyalty and uphold the lord's honor, often participating in courtly duties and supporting the lord in various capacities. In return, lords granted knights land (fiefs) and protection.

Knights received land, known as fiefs, from their lords as a reward for their military service and protection. This land provided them with agricultural resources and income, which were essential for their livelihood. In addition to land, knights often gained status, prestige, and the ability to establish their own retinues or households. This reciprocal relationship formed the foundation of feudal loyalty and obligation during the medieval period.
Knights demonstrated loyalty primarily through their adherence to the code of chivalry, which emphasized bravery, honor, and respect for their lord and fellow knights. They pledged allegiance to their lord, often through a formal ceremony, and were expected to defend their lord's territory and interests in battle. Additionally, knights participated in tournaments and other events to showcase their skills and loyalty, further solidifying their commitment to their feudal obligations.
