Answer 1

The primary reasons are:
- The frequent threat of attack by raiders
- Lack of an effective law and order from the central government

Explanation: After Rome’s collapse central authority weakened and invasions (Vikings, Magyars, etc.) made local protection essential, so people turned to local lords for security and order, producing the feudal system.
