Answer: THE LAND GRANTS OF ENGLAND WAS CALLED (A) (FIEFS)

Step-by-step explanation:

In England, land grants were called fiefs. Fiefs were held in fealty, a bit like today's contracts. The overlord would grant his vassal a fief on the condition the vassal pledged his loyalty to the overlord- called an oath of fealty.

Answer: Fiefs

A fief was land to which peasants were attached. It was the main source of income of a vassal, and the basis of the feudal system. A vassal held this land from the lord, who in exchange received the vassal's services. Although their size varied greatly, a fief usually required 15-30 peasant families to maintain it.
