Under the feudal system, who owned the land (known as a fief) provided to a knight in exchange for money and loyalty?

Asked by Xuan52

Answer (2)

Under the feudal system the land was usually officially owned by the King of an area, however, it was given to nobles or in this case knights in exchange for money and loyalty. These nobles had to pledge their support for the King and their willingness to fight if there was ever a conflict that necessitated their support.

In the feudal system, the king owned the land known as a fief, which he granted to nobles, including knights, in exchange for loyalty and military service. This created a hierarchical relationship where knights served as vassals to their lords. The knights then managed the land and benefited from its resources while pledging their support to the lord.
