For What Offenses Committed Against His Lord a Vassal Loses His Fief, and Also How the Lord Loses the Ownership of It if He Commits an Offense Against His Vassal.|title=w:Siete Partidas|Las Siete Partidas: Volume 4: Family, Commerce, and the Sea: The Worlds of Women and Merchants|series=The Middle Ages Series|location=Philadelphia, Pa.|publisher=(w)|year=2001|volume=IV (Partidas IV and V)|page=1001|isbn=978-0-8122-1741-4|passage=Where a vassal kills the brother, son, or grandson of his lord, he should lose his fief on account of it. We also decree that if a vassal lies with the wife of his lord, or with his daughter or granddaughter, he shall lose his fief; and the same rule applies when he endeavors, in any way, to persuade them to receive him, or to abduct any of them for the purpose of bringing such dishonor upon his lord. By reason of all the offenses aforesaid, and of each of those we enumerated in the preceding law by which a vassal loses his fief when he commits them, a lord also loses the ownership of a fief, if he commits any of said offenses against the person of his vassal, or of his wife, children, grandchildren, or daughters-in-law, and the ownership of the fief will remain in the vassal forever, by the right of perpetual property.

Introduction and Commentary|location=University Park, Pa.; London|publisher=w:Penn State University Press|The Pennsylvania State University Press|year=2010|page=256|isbn=978-978-0-271-00516-4|passage=Investiture was the conferring of a fief by the lord to the vassal, and the rite consisted in the handing over by the lord of some symbolic object intended to represent the act of concession. This could be a scepter, ring, glove, and so on, but the lord always retained the object employed. At times an item was actually handed over to the vassal, but this was a cornstalk, a piece of turf, a banner, or something that clearly symbolized the fief itself. The renunciation of a fief was enacted by a similar ceremony. The vassal divested himself of the fief by placing his hands between those of his lord. Then he handed back an object similar to the one that had been received.
