Answer 1

When the Roman Empire fell, Europe became more vulnerable to invasion. Vikings invaded from the north, Magyars from the east, and Muslims (Saracens) from the south. In response, a feudal system developed in Europe. This system involved peasants exchanging their work, their land, or their freedom for protection from the invaders. The lord (lord of the manor) was responsible for providing this protection.
