face was wet all over with humble tears” (102 -103). In this case, the Lion is Yvain’s vassal and he is his lord, while Yvain is King Arthur’s vassal and the king his lord. However, the lion was only a vassal to Yvain, not to the king. Another instance of this kind of relationship is when Yvain defeats Lady of Landuc’s husband, he takes the lord’s land, wife, and title. There, he was lord over those lands and its peasants, but he was at King Arthur’s service nonetheless. The story of Yvain…

The people living on the manor would refer to the noble, when they were talking directly to the noble, as “my lord.” If a noble decided to visit a vassal, the noble would be treated like it was his own castle. The noble would send a knight or vassal to collect some of a serf’s harvest. In turn the knight would keep an amount per peasant or serf and give the…
wife. Unfortunately, her efforts failed and Lady Madison passed away. A few weeks later the bodies of Charles’s eldest son and Sir Rose, were put upon an old mule and sent back to the manor house. In Christopher’s hand was a note which was addressed: LORD CHARLES ELTON I: FOR YOUR EYES ONLY!! To this day, no one knows what the note read. But, it said that Charles fell to his knees and wept upon seeing both his greatest warrior and his loving son's bodies that day. Something snapped in Charles’s…

The three that I will be looking at are, Asleep in the Lord, Artificial Nigger, and Remains of the Day. The story Asleep in the Lord follows a man named Mitchel, who traveled to India to help in a Mother Teresa house. He is a man that has been traveling for some time trying to find a place where he can feel like he is making a difference and belongs. In the…
land a lord would own and compensate living there through farming, milling, taking care of cattle, or even sewing clothes. A widely known place that did this was called Wharram Percy.

The Vassals commitment to fight was one of the most important parts of a feudal system. Without a military, a manor, village or town is useless, and it all starts with the Vassal showing his military service to the superior lord.
