Detailed explanation-1: -Vassals are sometimes also referred to as lieges. In exchange for their services, most often serving as a knight to the lord, vassals were granted a fief. Fiefs are small portions of land which were granted to vassals of a lord for acts of importance.
Detailed explanation-2: -Under the feudal system, a fief was a piece of land. This is short for fiefdom. Words that go along with fief are vassal and feudal lord; the lord (kind of like our landlords) owned the fief and the vassal was subject to all of his rules. If you were the lord of a fief, your tenant was your servant.
Detailed explanation-3: -This greater lord might hold his land and castles from a still more powerful noble or from the king. In return for this gift of land (or ‘fief’ as it was called) the less powerful lord had to provide the more powerful one with armed knights to fight in his wars.
Detailed explanation-4: -: a feudal estate : fee. : something over which one has rights or exercises control. a politician’s fief.
