The Kings and Lords were the great landowners in feudal Europe and what they did was offer land grants to vassals, called fiefs, in exchange for loyalty to them, and in case of conflict, for armed forces. The vassal would receive the land from the King or Lord, and would expect protection from the Lord or King.
