La palabra aparece en 'El Arte del Retrato' en una descripcion de un retrato de van Dyck de Carlos I de Inglaterra. El contexto es el siguiente:
"El guante desempeñaba un importante papel en el ceremonial y en la vida jurídica de la nobleza, como símbolo de dignidad de la investidura, enfeudamiento y elevación a este estamento."
En el Diccionario de la Real Academia Española, aparece 'enfeudar', que significa "Dar en feudo un reino, territorio, ciudad, etc."
Alguna sugerencia de como traducir esta palabra?

This is a more common synonym for infeudation (834 references for "infeudation" vs. 40,300 for "vassalage"). Better to use a term that people are familiar with.

Alternatively, you might just say \"the feudal system,\" since in the context it probably doesn\'t matter that much.

infeudation
I could be in error, but in my opinion this term would work.
infeudation:
1. The act of putting one in possession of an estate in fee.
2. The granting of tithes to laymen.
See second hyperlink below for the definition of "tithe".
