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