Good gentles, I've been following the discussion thus far (and the homage 
vs. fealty thread) with great interest while reading Littleton with the 
other eye<g>.

Next item:  the mayor is quite sure that the ceremony =he= wants involves 
handing over a clump of dirt.  I assume this has something to dg with taking 
actual, as opposed to constructive, possession.  Where does this come in? 
 Must the transfer take place while the parties are actually standing on the 
site in question (there are three separate sites, so that would involve 
three separate ceremonies) or is it enough if the dirt comes from the right 
place?

I gather that the paying of homage is more in-depth than is the paying of
fealty.
In Sharon Kay Penman's historical novels, there is much attention paid to
whether or fealty or homage was sworn by the Welsh to the English, and by 
the
Welsh to their Prince.
What would be the differences in the wording of the oaths, by whom the oaths
were sworn and to whom, and the settings?
Thanks!
