The Feudal Society in the Middle Ages was characterised by land in exchange for service. A Lord would grant land to vassals in exchange for military service. The land in terms of Feudalism was called a Fief. This relation between the Lord and their Vassals formed the basis of the Feudal Society.

Before a person could be granted possession of land they first had to become a Vassal of their Lord. At a formal ceremony - The Commendation Ceremony, they would perform homage to their Lord; entering a contract to fight for their lord. The person would then take oaths of Fealty which reinforced the promise they had made in Homage.
