  1. feudal system

    The feudal system, also known as feudalism, was a social, economic, and political system used primarily during the Middle Ages in Europe, which organized society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labor. This system usually involved a monarch or a lord granting land, referred to as a fief, to vassals or knights, who in turn would pledge their military service and loyalty to their lord. The serfs, or peasants, worked the land and provided services to the vassal in exchange for protection and the right to live on and cultivate the land.
