okay, so I managed to take a town from the failing kingdom of Drahara. I had already made one of my companions a vassal under my new glorious kingdom, but which hireling (I believe its the chancellor who dishes it to your vassals) do I talk to, to grant my vassal a fief? I've talked to my hirelings over and over and etc, yet the closest I've come to any thing regarding fiefs was the chancellor who told me my other vassals opinions in who should obtain the said fief.
Its good to be king, but damn the members of my council for their lack of help. I don't expect them to be the knights of the round table, but some initiative would be nice
