A vassal was obligated to give their loyalty to their lord primarily because:
The lord gave the vassal land.
In the feudal system, the relationship between a lord and a vassal was often based on a reciprocal exchange of land for loyalty and military service. The lord provided land (a fief) to the vassal in exchange for the vassal's loyalty, military support, and other services.
