	Commendation ceremony - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A commendation ceremony (commendatio) is a formal ceremony that evolved during the Early Medieval period to create a bond between a lord and his fighting man, called his vassal (Latin vassus).
		The first recorded ceremony of commendatio was in 7th century France, but the relationship of vassalage was older, and predated even the medieval formulations of a noble class.
		The commendation ceremony is composed of two elements, one to perform the act of homage and the other an oath of fealty.
