OE
The queen’s brothers became something to her spouse, the king. This gave “them the protection of King Magnus Eriksson in exchange for their homage (publicly expressed respect) and fealty (loyalty).” By definition, a vassal is a person loyal or in service to a feudal lord. Protégés, vanguards, precursors, and partisans are all roles that people could serve on a king’s behalf, but the sentence does not provide clues that indicate any of these meanings.
