2nd answer: The actual grant of land is called a fief. Subinfeudation is the system in which a noble holding a large fief from a greater lord would divide part of his fief and take on his own vassals.

∙ 11y agoThe total land given to a nobleman to hold was called an honour (Anglo-Norman French honur, meaning legally-held feudal property or feudal domain).
Each knight's honour was made up of parcels of land spread around an entire country; these might include several manors (Anglo-Norman French manor, maner, manoir, meaning a dwelling, residence or abode), building properties, lands without manors, mills, river rights, fishing rights, woodlands, salt pans, grazing rights, forest (hunting lands) and various other holdings.
The idea of the king spreading each nobleman's land-holdings around the country in this way was to prevent any one man creating a powerbase in any one area.

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.

Why did europe become a feudal society?
Feudalism came to dominate political & social life in Western Europe because by the 8th and 9th centuries, central governments, such as the Carolingian Empire could not effectively defend their people from invasions by Norsemen, Magyars, Slavs and Moslems. In addition, weak central governments failed to prevent internal civil wars among various nobles & princes. Nor could they defend their peoples against bandits and others. As a result of this turbulence and insecurity, people turned to local nobles for protection. Kings turned over large tracts of lands to local feudal leaders in return for a pledge of military assistance when needed.
