📋 About This Mod
It costs you 50,000 denars (which go to his/her coffers) and you must gift them one of your fiefs. Needless to say, you must have your own kingdom and be the ruler of your faction. Once done, the companion will be removed from your clan and will become a noble. Your relations with them will increase for your generosity. This is a good way of delegating your newly conquered territory to vassals that actually like you, and who will keep their own garrisons.
Why does it cost 50,000 denars?
Late game your income gets so high that money becomes meaningless. This gives another objective for your wealth. I might make it configurable on a future version.
How do you do it?
Go near the fief (town or castle) that you wish to bestow to your companion. Then talk to the companion you chose by either using the talk button on the party screen or going inside the fief. When you speak to them, if you meet all the requirements then you'll have the dialog option to make them a vassal.
What are the requirements?
- Have your own kingdom (complete the relevant main quest).
- Own two or more fiefs.
- Have 50,000 or more denars.
- Have the companion on your party (and NOT on his own party).
- The companion must not be your spouse.
How do I choose which fief to give?
The closest of your owned fiefs will be chosen, so go near whichever you wish to give. You can see its name on the dialog option.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,929 endorsements and 62,275 downloads.
- Gives late-game players a meaningful use for excess denars.
- Lets you delegate fiefs to companions who will keep their own garrisons, making them useful vassals.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020 — may not be compatible with the latest Bannerlord versions.
- The 50,000 denar cost is not configurable, as the author notes it might be in a future version.
- Requires you to have a kingdom and multiple fiefs, so it's useless early game.
For Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord players who are deep into a campaign and want to turn trusted companions into vassals without relying on random nobles. It's a quality-of-life feature for kingdom management. Skip if you're early game or prefer mods that add new mechanics rather than tweak existing ones.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure to unblock the downloaded ZIP file before extracting to avoid Windows permission issues.
- Place the extracted folder directly into the Modules directory in your Bannerlord installation folder.
- When you're ready to use it, stand near the fief you want to give away before talking to the companion.
