Fief

Above photo: Carcassonne, France - a fortified city, the walls actually date from the 6th century. This is just a rough 'ballpark' example of some of the architecture and land that may have constituted several Baron's fiefs.
Fief- the land owned by a medieval Baron (or feudal lord) during 11th & 12th centuries. (Gardner)
