Can I use the word "fealty" and "lineage" in the sentence as ...
Can I use the word "fealty" and "lineage" in the sentence as "He swears fealty  for his ancient royal lineage"?

Answer

I don’t think the sentence is correct.  A person swears fealty “to” (not “for”), and usually swears fealty to a PERSON, not to something like his lineage.  Example:  “All the knights in the kingdom swore fealty to the new King.”
