1 answer

One major trend in Europe during medieval times was feudalism. Feudalism was a social, economic, and political system that organized society hierarchically, with kings or lords granting land ("fiefs") to nobles or knights in exchange for military service and loyalty. The nobles would then grant smaller portions of their land to peasants, who worked the land and provided goods and services to the nobles. Feudalism was a dominant system that defined the relationships and obligations between different social classes during the medieval period in Europe.
