What was the relationship between lord and vassal?

Answer 1

The relationship between the lord and vassal, is that the lord gives a portion of his land to a vassal which is a knight; to provide military support and protection, before doing his duty the vassal swears an oath to be loyal to a particular lord and in turn the lord grant the vassal a portion of his land and riches. If a vassal manages to serve two lords who happened to wage a battle then the vassal must continue to serve both by sending half of his men to battle for the rival lord and the other half of his men to the other opposing lord. Disloyalty results in death.

Answer 2

The vassal was subservient to the lord or king to whom he owed allegiance.

All of the lords were vassals of higher lords or kings.

But that did not mean that the vassal was of low position. Many of the kings of England were vassals of the kings of France, because the kings of England were also Dukes of Normandy or Aquitaine, and owed the French king allegiance for those duchies. If the French king got into a war, the King of England, as the Duke of Normandy, would have to provide an army from Normandy, but the English kings did not have to supply any English soldiers.
