In the feudal system, a feodatory was a vassal who held land from a lord in exchange for military service and other obligations.
The feodatory was required to provide a certain number of knights or soldiers for the lord's army, and to pay taxes and other fees.
In return for these services, the lord granted the feodatory land to hold and use.
The feodatory could also be called upon to provide other services, such as attending the lord's court or providing hospitality to the lord and his entourage.
