What was the main obligation a knight owed to the lord from whom he held land?

  1. Ploughing the lord's fields through the farming year
  2. Paying a tenth of his produce to the lord
  3. Military service, usually for a set number of days each yearRespuesta correcta
  4. Unlimited service of every kind, owed for the whole of his life without any limit

Explicación

The whole point of granting land to a fighting man was to have soldiers on call, so his duty was to turn out armed, with his own horse and equipment, for a customary period whenever the lord summoned him. The idea of unlimited lifelong service fails because custom set a firm limit, and a lord who wanted men beyond it had to pay them or bargain for it.
