In the feudal system, a vassal was one who owed fealty to a superior, whether a king, a lord or simply someone higher than him or her self.

Note that the relationship is not transitive: simply because person X was a vassal to lord Y who was in turn the vassl of Baron Z, does not imply that X is a vassal of Z.
