Feudal government was an unfair system used in ancient timesFeudalism involves a hierarchy consisting of a king, nobles, and peasants. The king grants land to the nobles and the nobles have peasants work the land. The peasants are provided shelter, food, and protection in exchange for increasing the wealth of the nobles.
the feudal system arose during the middle ages. large landowners kept peasants living and working on their land in exchange for some of the harvest and being allowed to live on the land. the peasants never had a chance to leave as they were never paid for their work except in produce and livestock.they were tied ti the land and lord. it worked out great for the lords.
it was horrible for the peasants, they were all treated like slaves, it is scary because now that the people that we all live with are not like peasants, because BLACK and WHITE were seperated.
in medieval times, the king, or also known as the monarch, was always at the top of the feudal society. The peasant and serfs were at the bottom. The middle was filled with nobles. this is my answer,, ummm. if this doesnt help, im so sorry,, this is what i know, im in grade 8 and we sort of learned this.-- a bit though =)

Peasants did not have many responsibilities in the feudal system. All they had to do was pay their tither, or 10% of their crops, to the church. Otherwise, they did not have many responsibilities. ----- Peasants who were yeoman farmers had their own holdings. They had to pay tax to their feudal lords or the king, and to be ready to serve in the army, usually as archers. Peasants who were freeman tenants had to pay rent, usually in the form of money, to their landlords. Those who were serfs had to pay rent, usually in the form of work, and had to work common fields with other serfs. They were obliged never to move away from the manors on which they lived, but in exchange for this got a place to live, jobs, and protection.
A peasant owned no land, so they weren't directly a part of the feudal system. Many peasants worked on lands owned by knights or nobles.
The Japanese feudal system put peasants at the bottom, the daimyos or merchant middle class in the middle, and the warrior shoguns at the top.
