Feudalism

troubled times that feudalism, a social and political system, emerged as a way to regain stability. Supporting it was an economic system called manorialism, which centered around self-sufficient estates called manors. Farmers worked the fields on the manor and were crucial to keeping it running, both through the work they did and the taxes they paid.

Viking Claim Feudalism, the political system that was to dominate Europe for centries. If it wasn’t for the Vikings and their attacks and raids in the battle of Hastings, English wouldn’t be the same as it is today and French culture wouldn't be blended the same way it is today. Vikings had the biggest influence on everything. Although the kings didn’t help during the time when the Vikings attacked, they are still at the top of the feudal society but powerful nobles became lords of the local…

Feudalism is a hierarchical system that has worked for longer than any of us have been alive. Why some people believe we should abolish something that is working is quite beyond my train of thought. Most people appear to be happy with the system which is in place, all except the bourgeoisies or rather the rising middle class. For some reason which I am unable to comprehend, they feel the need to remake the entire system of government which we have in place, including totally eliminating the…

Centralised feudalism presented a social, political and economic system based on personal loyalties, class distinctions and the granting of land rights. The social class system displayed a clear social hierarchy of wealth and power through to poverty and exploitation of people.

In the feudal system, a vassal could also be a lord, granting portions of the land he holds for his lord to other free vassals. The…

Though there are many differing opinions, it is easy to realize that feudalism did more harm than it did good. One of the main reasons to support this is that feudalism didn’t treat everyone equally, giving more (often undeserved) privilege to one part of the population. This is shown when the textbook states, “Feudalism did not . . . let them [people] move up in society” (MEMT 345). The above quote alludes to how it was impossible to move your rank in the social hierarchy, which constrained…
