More of the informal understanding, although there were some astonishing instances of lords who fought despite having hostages taken.
How did an enemy having hostages affect feudal obligations? If you’re, say, Paxter Redwyne during WOT5K when one of the twins is held in King’s Landing, would you be considered deficient in your feudal obligations if you didn’t follow the Tyrells with Renly? Or would there be a (formal or informal) understanding that it was OK because of extenuating circumstances?
