Stupid Terminology Question: What would you call the noblefolk you're charged/sworn to protect?
Stupid Terminology Question: What would you call the noblefolk you're charged/sworn to protect?
I've heard words like ward, charge, patron, master, champion?
But I don't think any of that is what I'm looking for. What are better terms for this kind of relationship??

I would go with Liege.
liege adjective a: having the right to feudal allegiance (see ALLEGIANCE sense 1a) or service his liege lord b: obligated to render feudal allegiance and service

liege lord, lord, feudal lord, seigneur, suzerain, overlord, master, chief, chieftain, superior, monarch, sovereign, baron, ruler
or just employer
