Question

Who did most of the land in the kingdom belong to under the feudal system? (1 point)
• Peasants
• Church
• King
• Local lords

Answer 1

Under the feudal system, most of the land in the kingdom belonged to the **King**. However, the king would grant portions of this land to **local lords** (nobles) in exchange for their loyalty and military service. Those lords would then have peasants work the land and pay rent or provide services. So while the ultimate ownership rested with the king, the local lords had significant control over the land.
