1. DEFINE FEUDAL SYSTEM.(question from history)

The feudal system started after the Dark Ages, which was after the Fall of the Roman Empire. The Dark Ages was a time when there was no law and order and Europe was thrown into complete chaos. The feudal system came from this. A leader called Charmelagne first introduced this system in the eighth century (700's) to France, because he wanted help to control large areas of land and people. William the Conqueror then introduced this system to England after the he won the Battle of Hastings (1066). Suddenly, all of Europe was under the Feudal System. 
The Fuedal system can be best shown in a Hierarchy:
1: The King. Very powerful and had most money. But would not do anything without first delegating with Church in hope of stopping rebellions.

2: The Church. The Pope was the head of the Church and was almost as important as the king. People would go to war even if the Pope told them too. Gave advice to the King.

3: Nobility. Lords and Bishops provided the king with money and advice. Would provide knights for wars and so on.

4: Knights and Lesser Clergy (people in the church like monks & nuns.) Knights would fight in wars for the King. The monks and nuns would help people of the community.

5: Peasants. They worked for the knights land or lords land as well as their own to pay tax. Had no rights and barely had enough to live. Were not educated so did not know how to read. This was mainly why the Church was so powerful, because the Peasants and such did not know how to read and were not educated. The Pope would say that they had to not sin and they would go to heaven, but if they did they would go to hell. And everybody was afraid of hell, so they listened to every single word that the Church said.
How unfair.
