Explanation:

1 - Feudalism is the name of the predominant political system in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, characterized by the decentralization of political power; to be based on the diffusion of power from the top (where in theory were the emperor or kings) to the base where local power was exercised effectively with great autonomy and independence by an aristocracy, called nobility.

2 - Feudal aid were the set of duties and obligations that the vassals had for the feudal lord, and in turn the rights that the vassals had guaranteed on the land, which could not be revoked by the feudal lord.

3 - It is called aristocracy to the social class formed by people who have nobility titles granted by the king or inherited from their ancestors.

4 - In feudal matter, the term investiture is sometimes taken by the primitive title of granting a feud or by the act by which a lord invests a vassal from it.

5 - The homage, in the context of feudalism, was the first step of the ceremony of homage and investiture for which a vassalage was established. It also refers to the entire ceremony and even to the concepts of vassalage and incarceration and, by extension of meaning, to any oath that implies an obligation of compliance, or acts of submission, veneration and respect.

6 - Fief is the term by which in feudalism was designated the land that the lord granted to the vassal in the vassal contract, as part of the beneficium ("benefit") that the lord owed to the servant for the fulfillment of his obligations of auxilium et consilium ("aid" - military support - and "council" - political support - ).
