Vassalage in the Middle Ages

Por: Anavitarte, E. J.*

Vassalage is a reciprocal legal bond between two feudal lords of different nobility hierarchy, in which one, the lord, grants military and legal protection to the territorial jurisdiction of another, the vassal, who undertakes to recognize him as his sovereign.

This legal bond operates like a contract, so it requires the consent of both parties to be perfected, and can be both verbal or written, always with synallagmatic effects, which is, for both parties.

This institution is a form adapted in the Middle Ages from the Roman patronage usufruct contracts, but each of the parties abstractly represents their fiefdom.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English.
