What does vassel mean?

A Vassel is a lesser lord in medieval times. they lived on land owned by the king. In return they worked for the king.


Who are vassals?

A vassal was a person who swore allegiance and homage to a lord. In exchange for this, he got property consisting of an estate or estates from which he could get income as the serfs who lived there gave him part of their crop or rent money. If the lord who did this was a king, then he would receive oaths of allegiance and homage from all the more important lords, dukes, earls or counts, and barons. He might also receive oaths from knights. The more important lords received similar oaths from lesser nobles and knights. Some of these received oaths from lesser people yet.


What are medieval estates?

The word estate has different meanings. One way the word is used is to refer to the real landed possessions of a person. The typical estate of a lord was one or more manors. Another way the word is used refers to a group of people forming an important social order. We often see reference to three estates, the clergy, the nobility, and people of lesser rank. The people of lesser rank are often referred to as commoners, but this is not technically correct, as most members of the nobility were also commoners.

What was the name of the lesser noble who received land from the lord?

The granting of land by a noble to a lesser noble was called subinfeudation.2nd Answer: This is partially correct. Subinfeudation is when a lord grants land to a lesser noble which the first lord already holds as a fief from a greater lord. So if an earl hold 20 manors from a duke or king, and in turn grants ten of them as fiefs to knights so he has his own vassals, this is subinfeudation. The general process of granting land in exchange for military service or other duties or obligations would be in general called vassalage. The lesser lord becomes the vassal of the greater. The vassal swears homage and fealty. The lord transfers control of the land in question and agrees to provide protection for the vassal.It was also possible for a vassal to have more than one lord. A vassal could only swear homage to one person, who was his primary lord, and his first loyalty in the case of a conflict of interest, but it was possible to swear fealty to more than one lord, and hold land from multiple greater lords.

Also called the Feudal System, it established a hierarchy where the lord (or king) provided protection for his vassals (lesser lords and nobles) in return for their providing him with troops when he needed them. This hierarchy went from king all the way to peasants farming a lord's land. Eventually, it came to mean that the lord could ask for almost anything from a vassal and it would have to be given him.

Depends on which Dark Lord you are talking about. The first Dark Lord, of whom "Sauron of Mordor was only a servant," was Morgoth, formerly Melkor, a fallen Power/god.
