English term or phrase: knight's fee
El contexto es una novela histórica situada en la Alta Edad Media.
Entiendo el concepto de "knight's fee" como la medida de una unidad de tierra suficiente para mantener a un caballero, sus escuderos, sus caballos, etc. y cumplir con ello con sus deberes para con su señor.
Casos en los que aparece: "his father had granted him ten knight's fees of his own" o "his knight's fees would amount to more tan a hundred".
He pensado en "feudo", "fanega", "caballería", entre otros términos... pero nada me convence.
¿Alguna sugerencia? Gracias de antemano!

Reference: Knight's fee

Reference information:
In mediæval England and Anglo-Norman Ireland, a knight's fee. also sometimes called scutage, was the amount of money and/or military service a fief was required to pay to support one knight. Under the feudal system, land was exchanged for military service, thus knight's fees were used to describe the value of land. A fief could provide either the service of a knight, or an equivalent amount of money to allow a lord to hire a knight.

Asker: Gracias, Rafael, por tu aportación. Sí, entiendo que ése es el concepto, pero no sé cuál es el equivalente, si existe, en español. Creo que acabaré decantándome por feudo, que es lo más neutral.
