∙ 9y agoFeudalism was a system that structured society around relationships based on land in exchange for labor and/or military service. This system was not a formal political system in the minds of the people living under this system and was not classically defined until the early 20th century. Feudalism flourish edbetween the 9th and 15th centuries. The system involved three concepts: the lord, the vassal, and the fief. A lord was any noble that held land, the fief is that land, and the vassal was the person who was granted possession of that land by the lord. In exchange for the fief (and the lord's protection), the vassal provided some sort of service for the lord, of both the military and non-military variety. The entire society was bound at all levels by feudalism, whether directly between lord and vassal, or on broader terms involving manorialism and the Church. Feudalism disappeared throughout much of Europe in a sense by about 1500, though the relationships did not dissolve overnight - or, in the case of some Central and Eastern European countries, over the next two hundred years. The French did not officially abolish the practice until 1790.
