Lord

The Lord is God in the Old Testament, who includes Jesus Christ beginning with Christianity. The word "Lord" is used to translate the tetragrammaton and is by far the most-referenced word in the Bible.[1]

In feudalism, a lord, or noble, was the person to whom the king granted large tracts of land. He in turn rented parcels of this land to vassals. A serf would swear the oath of fealty to the lord, or "keeper of the loaves" (Old English hlaf-weard, or loaf-ward).
