What is the person called who received land in exchange for support in a feudal system?
A vassal received land and protection in exchange for military support, and sworn loyalty and obedience. A serf received land to use and protection in exchange for part of the crop or rent. This situation was very similar to, but not identical to, the situation of a vassal. There was a lot of variation in local customs. There were a few places, for instance, where there were no serfs and all farmers were independent; some of these were in Scandinavia, and there were others in Switzerland and Scotland.
