A quick definition of fealty:

Term: Fealty

Definition: Fealty is a word used in olden times to describe the loyalty and allegiance that a person owes to their lord or ruler. It was a very important promise that people made to their leaders, and breaking it was considered very bad. The promise was often made in front of the church and was supported by public opinion. It was a way to keep order in times of trouble and to make sure that everyone was working together for the common good.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Fealty is a term used in feudal law to describe the loyalty and allegiance that a tenant or vassal owes to their lord.

For example, in medieval times, a lord would grant land to a vassal in exchange for their fealty. This meant that the vassal was bound by an oath of loyalty to their lord and had to serve and protect them.

The oath of fealty was taken very seriously and had the sanction of the church. Breaking the oath was considered a grave offense and the person who did so was seen as dishonorable and untrustworthy.

Overall, fealty was an important aspect of the feudal system and helped to maintain order and stability in medieval society.
