about a pledge of allegiance the journalist Mick Fealty the novel by Niven and Pournelle Oath of Fealty novel English Feudalism An oath of fealty , from the Latin fidelitas faithfulness , is a pledge of allegiance of one person to another. Typically the oath is made upon a religious object such as a Bible or saint saint s relic , often contained within an altar , thus binding the oath taker before God. In Middle Ages medieval Europe , fealty was sworn between two people, the obliged person vassal and a person of rank lord . This was done as part of a formal commendation ceremony to create a feudal relationship. Fealty and homage medieval homage are a key element of feudalism . The term is also used by English speakers to refer to similar oaths of allegiance in other feudal cultures, as with History of Japan Feudal Japan 1185 1603 medieval Japan , as well as in modern political contexts.

about the constitutional term the more general ritual of greeting and respect Hand kissing To kiss hands is a constitution al term used in the United Kingdom to refer to the formal installation of The Crown Crown appointed British government minister s to their office. In the past, it referred to the requirement that the office holder actually kiss the hands of the monarch Sovereign as a symbol of personal fealty and loyalty to the Sovereign, that fealty and loyalty being a requirement to serve in the King s or Queen s government. In modern times, office holders are not expected physically to kiss the hands of the Sovereign before assuming the role. Simply being received by the Queen is taken to validate the selection, with this meeting being described in the Court Circular as kissing hands . The invitation issued to a party leader to form a government is sometimes still described as an invitation to kiss hands . The actual kissing of hands does not take place until the subsequent meeting of the Privy Council of the United Kingdom Privy Council , when the new minister is formally appointed as a member of the Council. ref http www.royal.gov.uk MonarchUK QueenandGovernment QueenandPrimeMinister.aspx ref When appointing a Secretary of State United Kingdom Secretary of State top rank in the Her Majesty s Government UK Government , the protocol also involves the delivery by the Sovereign of the seals of office into the hands of the appointee.

In the feudal system of the European Middle Ages, an ecclesiastical fief , held from the Church, followed all the laws laid down for temporal fiefs. The suzerain , e.g. bishop, abbot, or other possessor, granted an estate in perpetuity to a person, who thereby became his vassal . As such, the grantee at his enfeoffment did homage to his overlord, took an oath of fealty , and made offering of the prescribed money or other object, by reason of which he held his fief. These requirements had to be repeated as often as there was a change in the person of the suzerain or vassal. These fiefs were granted by churchmen to princes, barons, knights, and others, who thereupon assumed the obligation of protecting the church and domains of the overlord. Features of the system This system of feudal tenure was not always restricted to lands, as church revenues and tithes were often farmed out to secular persons as a species of ecclesiastical fief. Strictly speaking, however, a fief was usually defined as immovable property whose usufruct perpetually conceded to another under the obligation of fealty and personal homage . A fief was not ecclesiastical simply because its overlord was a churchman it was requisite also that the domain granted should be church property. Lands, which belonged to the patrimony of an ecclesiastic, became a secular fief if he bestowed them on a vassal. All fiefs were personal and hereditary, and many of the latter could be inherited by female descent. Passive fiefs Fiefs bestowed by the Church on vassals were called active fiefs when churchmen themselves undertook obligations to a suzerain, the fiefs were called passive . In the latter case, temporal princes gave certain lands to the Church by enfeoffing a bishop or abbot, and the latter had then to do homage as pro vassal and undertake all the implied obligations. When these included military service, the ecclesiastic was empowered to fulfil this duty by a substitute. It was as passive fiefs that many bish ... more details

According to Charles du Fresne, sieur du Cange Du Cange the designation captal capital, captau, capitau was applied loosely to the more illustrious nobles of Aquitaine , counts, viscounts, etc., probably as capitales domini, principal lords, though he quotes more fanciful explanations. As an actual title the word was used only by the lords of Trene , Puychagut , Epernon and Buch a lordship being an amalgamation of two or more seigniories . It is best known in connection with the famous soldier, Jean de Grailly , captal de Buch Order of the Garter KG d. 1376 , the captal de Buch par excellence, immortalized by Froissart as the confidant of the Black Prince and the champion of the English cause against France. His active part in the war began in 1364, when he ravaged the country between Paris and Rouen , but was beaten by Bertrand du Guesclin at Cocherel and taken prisoner. Released next year, he received the seigniory of Nemours and took the oath of fealty to the French king, Charles V of France Charles V , but soon resigned his new fief and returned to his allegiance to the English king. In 1367 he took part in the battle of Navarette, in which Du Guesclin was taken prisoner, the captal being entrusted with his safe keeping. In 1371 Jean de Grailly was appointed constable of Aquitaine, but was taken prisoner next year and interned in the Temple at Paris where, resisting all the tempting offers of the French king, he remained till his death five years later.

The principal incidents of a seignory were a feudal oath of homage and fealty a quit or chief rent a relief of one year s quit rent, and the right of escheat . In return for these privileges the lord was liable to forfeit his rights if he neglected to protect and defend the tenant or did anything injurious to the feudal relation.

Robinson. ref of Palermo who came to power as the regent of Sicily and Legal guardian guardian of future emperor Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II in 1202 after the death of Markward von Anweiler . He held the post for the next four years until 1206. He was called the Great Captain. William was probably supported by Pisa ns, for he dates certain instruments of Fredericks with the Pisan system. He certainly did not have the support of the Hohenstaufen family, of which the young Frederick was a scion. He was opposed also by Pope Innocent III , who tried to arrange a favourable marriage for Frederick to put him under somebody else s influence. William s dictatorship in Sicily is shown in that it is known that he expelled Urso, Bishop of Agrigento , from his diocese for the second time for refusal to take an oath of fealty. In Spring 1204, the pope s legate began negotiating for peace and the recognition of the pope s representatives. Capparone never fulfilled his end of the deal, however, and peace was ultimately not obtained. In 1206, William was finally removed from power and replaced by the chancellor Walter of Palearia . William still held the royal palace, however. With the aid of Diepold, Count of Acerra , he was eventually dislodged, as were his Pisan friends. The Genoese gained ascendancy in Sicilian trade thereafter.
