  • The fief (alternatively, fee, feoff, fiefdom) or feudum, under the system of medieval European feudalism, often consisted of inheritable lands or revenue-producing property granted by a lord to a vassal who held seisin in return for a form of allegiance. Not only land but anything of value could be held in fief, such as an office, a right of exploitation (e.g. , hunting, fishing) or any other type of revenue, rather than the land it comes from.
