The interview concluded with the Mayor thoroughly chastising her for her decision to…
Imagine a hot and brutal day in the fields, just like the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that, this is what life would be like for serfs in the middle ages. The middle ages was a time when feudalism defined the europeans in their world. The peasants or serfs worked the land for the knights and nobles and in return they received protection and a portion of the harvest to feed their families (OI). Even though the serfs had their work cut out for them, the vassals, got…
structure of the feudal manor, essential to how feudalism flourished. During the Middle Ages, the lords and the serfs typically lived within one estate, known as the manor.

Feudalism does not only incorporate the seizure of the land or the kings but also concentrates on the sovereignty of the state to exercise the feudal activities such as finance, military, justice among others. Apparently, the land turned to be private properties, which also changed the state to be individual properties. As a principle, for the feudal lords to ascend to power, it was not due to the approval…
class did. The church created the idea known as the great chain of being which expressed how some people were better than other and should have more rights(Richardson). This meaning Serfs had less rights while upper classes had more rights, like the lord and nobles. This is what they based the feudal system off of so some people had more power than other people did (Richardson).

The Feudal system was a system of obligations between lords and vassals. The level you were born in you would probably stay at that level for the rest of your life, as it was really hard to move up. There are four levels of the feudal system, Kings, Nobles, Knights, and Peasants. Feudalism started during the middle ages between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. This time was when wealth was based on land, even higher than any currency. Basically all levels gave the levels lower than them…
