A question

In the article:

The oath known as "fealty" implied lesser obligations than did "homage". Further, one could swear "fealty" to many different overlords with respect to different land holdings, but "homage" could only be performed to a single liege, as one could not be "his man", i.e. committed to military service, to more than one "liege lord".

Not entirely correct, for example:

County of Flanders streched acroos the river Scheldt, which was the boundary between Holy Roman Empire and France.

Thus Count of Flanders took oath of fealty and homage to both HRE Emperor(lands on the west bank of Scheldt) and King of France(lands on the east bank of Scheldt)

Can someone explain this ?
