Feudalism was not only a system of governing it was also a system of local justice. William the Conqueror used feudalism to pay back the vassals for helping him in the conquest of England. The land they conquered was given to the knights and to the nobles. The vassals would give a ceremony in thanks to the lords and to pay their homage.
the vassal would go to court with other vassals belonging to your lord and if you were found guilty, you would have to give up your fiefdom.
Vassalage is the relationship between the feudal lord and his vassal. Kings had higher lords as vassals, and higher lords had lower lords as vassals. The practice was called subinfeudation.
Yes it is true. Lords and Vassals were part of the social, political, and economic organization known as feudalism or the manorial system.

Lords granted lands to vassals because they had a lot of land and needed men to fight in their armies. They also couldn't manage their land alone. As a solution, a lord would give land to vassals in exchange for the vassals agreeing to fight in his army. The vassals would have peasants and serfs work their land.
