Explain what was the basis of the relationship between the lord and the vassal. What role did personal commitment play in this?

In medieval Europe, feudal relations developed, where one side acted as a lord, and the other was a vassal. The phrase “my vassal’s vassal is not my vassal” was also popular. In fact, the vassals were supposed to serve their liege, and he, for their loyal service, was to award lands and titles. So the main lord in the state, of course, was the king, and all his subjects were vassals.
