3 What is the definition of FEUDALISM??
A political, economic, and social system based on loyalty and military service. The system was used by the French Normans, a system where all land is owned by the king. The king then divides the land under his strict control.

4 Terminology King: The person in complete control of the land.
Lord: Those who leased (borrowed/loaned) land from the King and could then give land to the Vassals. Vassals: Lesser lords who received land from the lord or king in return for military service. Serfs: Peasants who worked on the land for the vassals. They did not own the land. Fief: an estate of land (and serfs) given to the vassals by the king.

How did Feudalism Work? Feudal Obligations: The mutual obligations of the King to the vassal and the vassals to the King Essentially: The king provided vassals with land (fief). In return, the vassals pledged loyalty to the king and gave a large portion of their income to the king.

10 How did Feudalism Work? The king would have his own army which would be filled by knights who would protect the king. Lay Investiture: The appointment of priests, bishops, and other members of the clergy by feudal lords/kings. Who had more authority the church or the state?

Approximately 90% of the Western European population under feudalism were serfs/peasants. Life was primarily agriculturally based. The king, lords, and vassals were economically supported by the agricultural work of the peasants.

The Manor System Manors were almost entirely self-sufficient. All their needs could be met just from the work on the manor.
