(*What is a Fief? Land in medieval times was broken up into fiefs. A fief was a trust, rather than an ownership. Your oldest son could inherit the fief, but you could not sell a fief in ... but you could not sell a fief in early medieval times.)

(* FIEF - A fee (alternatively and rarely: fief, fiefdom,[1] Latinised to feudum) was the
central element of feudalism and consisted of heritable lands (or revenue-producing property) granted under one of several varieties of feudal tenure by an overlord to a vassal who held it in fealty (or "in fee") in return for a form of feudal allegiance and service, usually given by the personal ceremonies of homage and fealty.) (Wikipedia) (* FEALTY - An oath of fealty, from the Latin fidelitas (faithfulness), is a pledge of allegiance of one person to another. Typically the oath is made upon a religious object such as a Bible or saint's relic, often contained within an altar, thus binding the oath-taker before God.) (Wikipedia)
