What is the grantee of a fief or fee?

The grantee of a fief or fee is the individual who receives the land or estate from a lord or sovereign in a feudal system. This person, often called a vassal, is granted rights to the land in exchange for certain obligations, such as military service or loyalty. The grantee holds a legal interest in the property, which they can use, manage, or transfer, subject to the terms of the grant and the overarching authority of the lord.
