A vassal is a person who entered into a personal relationship with a lord, of whom he paid homage in return for protection.
Vassals were people who had entered into a feudal contract with their lords. As part of the feudal contract, each was required to protect the other. Usually, this meant the vassal gave military support to the lord, but the lord was obliged to support the vassal in the event that the vassal was attacked. In exchange for military support, the vassal got a fiefdom or land grant, which was an estate from which he could get an income.
