What was the feudal system, and how did it organize medieval societies in Europe? This book explores the feudal system, a hierarchical structure that dominated medieval Europe from the 9th to the 15th century. It discusses how the system organized society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor. The narrative examines the roles of kings, lords, vassals, and serfs in the feudal hierarchy, their duties, and their rights. It also delves into the economic, military, and legal frameworks of feudalism, and how these systems influenced European politics and conflicts. The book further explores the decline of feudalism and its legacy in shaping modern property laws and social structures. By providing a detailed look at feudal society, the book sheds light on a foundational period in European history.
