A lord's territory is called a "manor." In the feudal system, a manor typically included the lord's residence, agricultural land, and various associated buildings and settlements. The manor was the basic unit of feudal landholding, where the lord exercised control and provided protection to the peasants or serfs who worked the land.
Land held by a feudal lord was known as a "fief" or "feudal estate." This land was granted to the lord by the king or a higher-ranking noble in exchange for loyalty, military service, and other obligations. The lord could then grant smaller portions of the land to vassals in return for their loyalty and service.
The feudal ceremony in which a vassal received land from a lord was called an investiture. Chivalry was the code of conduct developed by the feudal nobles.
