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)
