That system is called feudalism (the feudal system).
Briefly: a king or lord granted land (a fief) to nobles (vassals) in return for military service, loyalty (homage and fealty), and other obligations. Nobles could in turn grant portions to lesser vassals; peasants/serfs worked the land and owed labor or dues. Feudalism describes the political-military relationships of medieval Europe (and similar arrangements existed in feudal Japan).
