Question

Describe ONE group from the Feudal System. Name ONE opportunity for social/career advancement.

I'm having trouble understanding what they mean by the second part of the question.

Answer 1

Feudalism in England can be easily described through a pyramid:

At the top of the Feudalism Pyramid was the King
The King claimed ownership of the land
The King granted the land to important nobles - these nobles then pledged their loyalty by swearing to serve and protect the king
The king also granted land to the less powerful military men (the knights) who were called vassals
The vassals also agreed to fight for the king in exchange for their land
The land was worked by the peasants or serfs. They belonged to the land and could not leave without permission - the bottom of the Feudalism pyramid.
So after picking your group say it is a lower class, one way they could advance for example would be through marriage.
Hope this helped.
