Vassalage \Vassal*age\, n. [OE. vassalage, F. vasselage, LL. vassallaticum.] [1913 Webster] 1. The state of being a vassal, or feudatory. [1913 Webster] 2. Political servitude; dependence; subjection; slavery; as, the Greeks were held in vassalage by the Turks. [1913 Webster] 3. A territory held in vassalage.
Nonetheless, certain general conceptions were accepted almost everywhere. One of the most significant was that of a feudal contract. The lord owed something to the vassal, just as the vassal owed something to the lord. When they entered into their relationship, the vassal rendered formal homage to his lord; that is, he became the lordâs âman.â He also promised him aid and counsel.
