If you as GM determine that the king would entrust him with a fief (and, of course, the Duty that goes with it), that's just going to add that many points to his character sheet, to pay the cost of the advantage. The character is just worth that much more.

I would reserve charging points for traits that a character chooses to acquire, not traits that the GM just confers as a result of external events.

I wouldn't charge for it, either. It's a reward earned in play.
