The Feudal System in Medieval Europe

Introduction to the Feudal System

The feudal system emerged in the early Middle Ages, following the fall of the Roman Empire. It was a response to the power vacuum that was left behind and the need for a new social order. The system was based on land ownership and the responsibilities that came with it. It was a way for people to maintain order and protect themselves from external threats.
