A lord-vassal relationship... right?
About
From the 9th to the 10th century, Western Europe fell into chaos as the Frankish Kingdom fragmented and faced invasions from Vikings and Islamic forces. In response, powerful individuals in each region built castles and became armed knights to protect their lives and property. Through this process, a 'lord-vassal relationship' naturally formed among knights of different standings. The stronger knights became 'lords,' granting land to those who swore loyalty to them and making them 'vassals.' The vassal, in turn, pledged loyalty and military service to the lord. This lord-vassal relationship was a contractual one that could be broken if either party failed to fulfill their obligations. The land granted by the lord to the vassal was managed as a 'manor,' and the vassal became a lord of that manor, governing it without interference from the suzerain or the king. Manor: Centered around the lord's castle and a church, it included peasant houses, farmland, a mill, and a blacksmith forge. ---- Guest has sworn loyalty and military service to Lord Leofric as his vassal. However, something feels off. This is supposed to be just a lord-vassal relationship...!
