liege homage
liege homage 绝对臣服 向一位领主作出的臣服不存在保留或例外。如对国王的臣服，某封臣向国王臣服后就不能以已向其直接领主臣服为由来对抗向国王的臣服。这种臣服的内容包括效忠〔fealty〕及由此产生的役务。它不同于普通臣服〔simple homage〕，后者只是对保有关系的认可。 (→homage; simple homage)

homage n. 臣服；臣服礼 这是封臣接受领主封赠时向领主所必须行的大礼，是封建契约关系建立的重要仪式。臣服礼在封臣与领主之间建立起了一种依附关系，依此，封臣要履行协助领主的义务，而领主则要保护封臣，包括在武力和诉讼两方面。违反臣服礼的义务则被视为十恶不赦的犯罪，起初是重罪的主要部分。臣服礼的仪式是：封臣跪在领主面前，将双手放于领主双手之间，用诺曼法语说：「从今往后，我将怀着无比崇敬的心情终我一身完全臣服于您，蒙您恩惠保有地产，故将对您忠贞不渝。」臣服包括如下几种：绝对臣服〔liege homage〕、简易臣服〔homagium planum〕、相对臣服〔homagium simplex〕、世代臣服〔homagium antecessorium〕等。随着王权的加强，对普通领主的臣服渐趋衰微，地产法中的财产性因素取代了人身性义务变得重要起来，对国王的效忠也取得了优先地位。另外，臣服礼只能面对领主本人作出，但效忠〔fealty〕则可向领主的管家或执行管家作出。臣服于1660年被取消，而效忠仍沿袭下来。 (→fealty)
