From wickedpedia, "Fealty and homage are a key element of feudalism."

Maybe the conotation is not quite right there?

Fealty - peasants who worked the lands of nobles, having the divine right to rule, in exchange for protection and loyalty.

“Fealty” is loyalty, but there isn’t any good reason to use such an antique word. “Faith” is just as good, and it still begins with “F”.
