Answer 1

Hint: A feudal system (also known as feudalism) is a social and political structure in which landowners provide tenants land in exchange for their allegiance and service. The phrase "feudal system" is frequently used in political discourse to refer to an out-of-date, exploitative governing structure.

Complete answer:
The two traditions which formed part of the feudal system were investiture and homage.
A vassal was a peasant or labourer who got a portion of land in exchange for serving a lord or monarch, especially during times of war, in a feudal system. In exchange for their own fiefs, or pieces of territory, vassals were expected to fulfil different tasks.

In feudal society, homage was serious act of ritual by which a person became a vassal of a lord. Homage was essentially an acknowledgement of the two's long-standing friendship. It consisted of the vassal bowing and presenting his joined hands to the lord, who clasped them in his own and accepted the surrender.

In feudalism, investiture was a rite in which an overlord gave a fief to a vassal or in ecclesiastical law, an elected priest got the pastoral ring and staff (symbols of spiritual office) to mark the transfer of the office. Following the pledge of loyalty, the Lord bestows the fief on the vassal, generally by presenting him with a sign of the land or position transferred.
