Published by: University of Illinois Press on behalf of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian StudyThe most broadly encompassing political system of medieval western Europe was without doubt feudalism in one or another of its various forms. At the foundation of feudal society, we find the institutions of feud and vassalage. These institutions were developed around the ceremony of hominium (homage), which represents the beginning of the 'liens d'hommes à hommes' (ties from men to men), i.e. between the overlord and his vassals. The homage ritual is principally composed of the oath of fidelity, known also as the oath of personal allegiance.Introduction.
