What is subinfeudation?
The feudal system was based on permanent heritable land grants in exchange for services. At its origin these services were military services, so the crown (the ultimate landowner) granted large tracts of land to nobles and in exchange the nobles pledged to provide so many knights or footsoldiers in case of war. Those great nobles could grant part of that land to lesser nobles in exchange for a promise of lesser military support, and these in turn made smaller grants until at some point there was a grant to a person (called the freeholder) who actually farmed or lived on the land, and had to provide simple services such as a certain number of days' labour or a certain quantity of grain. These lesser relationships between one who granted land and one who provided services, nested within each other like Russian dolls, were called subinfeudation.

These vassals would manage the land and, in return, provide protection and support to the noble. The arrangement was part of a hierarchical structure that defined relationships and obligations within medieval society. Additionally, peasants or serfs worked the land, providing agricultural output to sustain both the vassals and the nobles.
What does the feudal system mean?
The feudal system was a system where the king owned all the land, but exchanged the use of it to members of the nobility in exchange for (usually) military services. These nobles would still have more land than they could manage, so they in turn allowed the use of it to lesser nobles in exchange for (usually) military services. The lesser nobles then farmed their property out to knights and other small landholders who in turn leased it to freemen or serf farmers, who worked the land and were able to live off it in exchange for some of the produce. The result was a pyramidal society bound together by grants of land and corresponding assumptions of obligations.
