That doesn't fit with my notions of a feudal system. It makes more sense to
me that a noble would retain allegiance to the previous lord rather than to
the new lord from some other realm. If the region changes to another realm
in any other way but a takeover and all knights will switch with it, then it
sounds like the knights owe allegiance to the estate rather than a person. 

I suggest that instead of auto switching allegiance to some new lord, your
allegiance goes up the hierarchy within your realm. If Lord C lost his land
due to a treaty (or something non-takeover), then you are either without a
lord (and without an estate) or your loyalty is to Lord C's lord who just
happens to be Lord B.

I think what was meant by any other way was that the lord went with the
region to the new realm, such as the lord changed his allegiance.  I think
the intent is as it says in that quote, "your loyalty is to your liege
first".
