[edit] Explanations on en.wp

w:Roland pledges his w:fealty to w:Charlemagne. From a medieval illuminated manuscript.

Actually, this is not technically a picture of feality in action. Rather, it is the part of a ceremony to create a knight, to tie a sword belt on the knight was part of the ceremony. Although, at some point before in the ceremony fealty was previously made by placeing a hand on a bible or saints relic, this image is of the belt tieing part of the ceremony. It symbolizes the knights membership of the "fighting class".--Stbalbach 20:53, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
