Main Idea Details So What? The FRAME Key Topic is about . . . Feudalism How feudalism developed in Europe during the Middle-Ages Feudal Society Manorial System As barbarian invaders destroyed the Roman Empire, feudalism became the new form of government Feudalism was based upon the ownership of land, in return for loyalty and favors—feudal obligations Fiefs were estates of land granted in exchange for ones service Vassals were lords who granted land Serfs were the peasants bound to the land—almost like slaves Manorial System established a rigid class structure 1) Monarch/King—Owned vast majority of the land 2) Lords/Nobles—Landowners loyal to the King 3) Knights—warriors that protected the land from invaders 4) Serfs/Peasants—bottom of the social structure Self-sufficient community—everything needed to survive was on the manor’s land Because of the Fall of Rome people had little protection from invaders, which led them to enter feudal contracts
