A quick definition of vasseleria:

Term: Vasseleria

Definition: Vasseleria is a fancy word that means the same thing as vassalage. Vassalage is when someone is a servant to a more powerful person, like a king or lord. It can also mean the land that the servant (or vassal) is in charge of, or the things they have to do for their boss. Sometimes, vassalage can also mean being controlled by someone in a bad way, like being a slave.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vasseleria is a term used in Law Latin that refers to vassalage, which is the state of being a vassal or feudatory. It can also refer to the service required of a vassal, the territory held by a vassal, vassals collectively, the dominion or authority of a feudal superior over vassals, or political servility and subjection.

Examples:

  • A knight who held land from a lord in exchange for military service was a vassal and was in a state of vasseleria.
  • The vassaticum or main-rent was the service required of a vassal, such as providing soldiers for the lord's army.
  • A fief or fee was the territory held by a vassal as part of their vasseleria.
  • The vassals collectively were known as the lord's vasseleria.
  • The feudal superior had dominion or authority over their vassals' vasseleria.
  • Political servility and subjection were also part of the concept of vasseleria, as vassals were expected to be loyal and obedient to their lord.

These examples illustrate the different aspects of vasseleria, including the relationship between a lord and their vassals, the obligations and services required of vassals, and the political and social hierarchy of feudal society.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)

Give it 4 more weeks at least. Everyone in this chat needs to wait longer.
