Feudalism Cycle Diagram: Lord-Vassal Relationship in Medieval Society #1382067 (License: Personal Use)

The image depicts the core reciprocity of feudalism: a lord (señor) grants land and protection to a vassal, who in return pledges military aid, judicial support, economic assistance, and counsel. Arrows trace the cyclical flow-vassals kneel in homage, receive sustenance (wheat), defend the lord militarily, and offer advice at court, while the lord provides economic aid (gold) and judicial fairness (scales). The visual emphasizes interdependence rather than hierarchy alone.
