=='''King and Vassal'''==
"''With joined hands, he shall say thus ~ I become thy man of such tenement to be holden of thee, to bear thee faith of life and member and earthly worship against all men who live and can die, saving the faith of my lord and his heirs...''"

The overarching structure of society is the pledge between the King and his lords and the lords and their vassals, the knights.  The King holds the land, and by word and deed he grants it to his lords, the barons.  These barons, in turn, grant the working of his deeding to the knights, who manage the village, crops, animals, meadows, and woods.

By royal order, the barons dwell half the year in the realm of the King while their families dwell in the baronial demesne, at their manor.  The barons’ Knights dwell all the year at their keep in the seat of each deeding, apart from the baron and his family.  Save for the King’s Tax, all the wealth of cash and crop go to the baron and his knights, to keep his deeding in good order.
