The role of a vassal was to pay homage to a knight.

Homage was a special ceremony of allegiance. A vassal was in a subordinate position, pledging his loyalty and homage to the knight he served. A vassal could give "fealty" -- a lesser oath of loyalty -- to more than one lord. But "homage" was a personal relationship of loyalty to one specific "liege-lord." The knight or lord would be the "liege-lord" of the vassal.

Feudalism was a complex system of relationships between people of different classes. The king stood at the top of the complex system, and nobles were viewed as holding their lands in exchange  for their military service to the king.  The nobles then had vassals underneath them.  And at the bottom of the system, depending on the upper classes for protection and laws, were the peasants, who gave a share of their produce to the lords above them as their part of the exchange.

Sumerians were monotheists and they may have built their tall structures know as ziggurats to get closer the their god
Vikki [24]

This statement is wrong.

The second part of the sentence is actually correct - the one describing what ziggurats are. However, the first part is incorrect - Sumerians were not monotheists. Monotheists believe in one god - for example, Christianity is a monotheistic religion. But Sumerians were polytheists - this means that they believed in many gods, such as Enlil, Enki, Nergal, etc.
