Answer 2

The estate comprised of  a field and indication with various mansions on it. Each mansion helped a cavalier with his guns and mounts. John recognizes that the Nobleman of Champagne was his sovereign master. In fact, John would see himself supporting members collectively among all the Templar that hold their mansions from him.
