A fief is like a piece of land that a lord gives to a knight in exchange for protection and service. Imagine it like a big treehouse: the lord owns the land, and the knight takes care of it, like making sure everything is safe, in return for living there and getting some of the crops or goods that grow on it. This was a big part of how people lived during medieval times!
