Feudalism is a political system that completely changed people during the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages was a very dark time of European rule. The disorganization that some people do not see about the Middle Ages make it out to be the dark time that it was. Invasions from the Germanic people caused much of the chaos, and a result of many of these invasions led to a central government that had little power and influence.

The concepts of feudalism and manorialism are much like mutualism in the animal kingdom. Both species lack something, such as food, defense, or shelter, and both species can obtain what they need by cooperating with each other. Feudalism is based similarly. In a monarchy, for example, what the lord in power may lack is the knowledge that his subjects are loyal to him and would never try to overthrow him or betray his interests. What a lower-class citizen may require is protection, food, land, or…

Instead of slaves, it…

Society in the Middle Ages may appear to be much different than ours today, but in…
