Cách sử dụng
A fief was a piece of land in medieval Europe given to a person of high status (like a king or a lord) in exchange for their loyalty and military service. The person who received the land was called a vassal, and they were expected to protect and govern the land. The word 'fief' is not commonly used in modern English, but it is still used in historical or academic contexts to refer to this type of landholding system.
