A question

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

In the article:

The oath known as "fealty" implied lesser obligations than did "homage". Further, one could swear "fealty" to many different overlords with respect to different land holdings, but "homage" could only be performed to a single liege, as one could not be "his man", i.e. committed to military service, to more than one "liege lord".

Not entirely correct, for example:

County of Flanders streched acroos the river Scheldt, which was the boundary between Holy Roman Empire and France.

Thus Count of Flanders took oath of fealty and homage to both HRE Emperor(lands on the west bank of Scheldt) and King of France(lands on the east bank of Scheldt)

Can someone explain this ?

Should the pronunciation of the word be included in the article? One wouldn’t know how to pronounce it just by looking at it. —Frungi (talk) 23:30, 10 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Yes, done. Collisteru (talk) 20:01, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Lopsided

Latest comment: 2 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Right now the article gives a very lopsided view of the overall subject. Every paragraph besides the first only concerns a few particulars in England and France, completely ignoring the rest of Europe. It would be good to add more information from Feudal Society, by Marc Bloch, as well as other books. Collisteru (talk) 20:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
