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.
In the oath, the vassal would promise to fight for the lord at his command. which means that the vassal will remain faithful to the lord and that he has to do whatever the lord says. Once the commendation was complete, the lord and vassal were now in a feudal relationship with agreed-upon obligations to for each other. The lord foremost was obligated to grant a fief or its revenues to the vassal; the fief is the primary reason the vassal chose to enter into the relationship. In addition, the lord sometimes had to fulfill other obligations to the vassal and fief. One of those obligations was its maintenance.
