Commendation ceremony
A
commendation ceremony (
commendatio) is a formal
ceremony that evolved during the Early Medieval period to create a bond between a
lord and his fighting man, called his
vassal (Latin
vassus). The first recorded ceremony of
commendatio was in 7th century France, but the relationship of
vassalage was older, and predated even the medieval formulations of a
noble class. The lord's "man" ("vassal" comes from a Celtic word for "boy") might be born unfree, but the
commendatio freed him. (See
Vassal).
