Feudalism, simply put, was the relationship between a lord and a vassal that changed the way of life during the Middle ages. The relationships between the classes of people. There was no clear hierarchy of who owed service to whom between king, lord, knight, or serf.

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.
