fealty. fidelity, allegiance.
     2. under the feudal system, every owner of lands held them of some 
superior lord, from whom or from whose ancestors, the tenant had received 
them. by this connexion the lord became bound to protect the tenant in the 
enjoyment of the land granted to him; and, on the other hand, the tenant was 
bound to be faithful to his lord,, and defend him against all his enemies. 
this obligation was called fidelitas, or fealty. 1 bl. com. 366; 2 bl. com.
