I'm curious about the financial situation of knights in the medieval times. Specifically, I want to know how they obtained their income or wealth. Did they receive salaries, or did they have other sources of revenue?

The creation of a knight's fee involved the allocation of land for the benefit of a knight.

Alternatively, it could be done by one of the king's tenants-in-chief.

To create a knight's fee, a tenant-in-chief would separate an area of land from their own demesne.

This process, when performed by a tenant-in-chief, was known as subinfeudation.
