Answer 1

The correct option is "lord"

Feudalism is the denomination of the predominant political system in Western Europe of the middle centuries of the Middle Ages and in Eastern Europe during the Modern Age, characterized by the decentralization of political power; to be based on the diffusion of power from the top, to the base where local power was exercised effectively with great autonomy or independence by an aristocracy, called nobility, whose titles derived from governors of the Carolingian empire (Dukes, Marquises, counts) or they had another origin (barons, gentlemen, etc.).

Answer 2

In this particular case you would be considered a "lord", since the territory in question is under your name, and you need to enter into agreements with others in order to protect it.
