What is feudalism? A manor system whereby peasants worked the land on an estate and a manorial lord protected several them. A manor system whereby peasants are more or less slaves to the lord who doesn’t pay them for their efforts. A landowning system whereby peasants can work payments for the land they want to own. A manor system whereby the lord owns the products that comes from the land, but not the land itself.
the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants (villeins or serfs) were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection
A. The Holy Roman Empire is a good example of feudalism.
