1 answer

A vassal typically received the right to protection by the lord in exchange for his loyalty. In the feudal system, vassals pledged their loyalty and service to a lord, and in return, they were granted protection as well as land or other rights. The other options may apply in varying degrees, but the core of the vassal-lord relationship is loyalty in exchange for protection.
