“The man should put his hands together as a sign of humility, and place them between the two hands of his lord as a token that he vows everything to him and promises faith to him; and the
lord should receive him and promise to keep faith with him. Then the man should say: ‘Sir, I
enter your homage and faith and become your man by mouth and hands, and I swear and
promise to keep faith and loyalty to you against all others.”
