Read the passage and answer the questions:

Among those who exercised powers in the Vijayanagara Empire were military chiefs who usually controlled forts and had armed supporters. These chiefs often moved from one area to another, and in many cases were accompanied by peasants looking for fertile land on which to settle and cultivate.
