Does Feudal mean old fashioned

The feudal system is old fashioned, but that is not what the word means. This refers to the political system that held from roughly the 9th through 15 centuries in Europe. Feudal lords held large territories, and there was no private ownership of land by ordinary individuals. The people living on the land were vassals and subject to the lords. The lords exacted taxes from the vassals based on what the vassals could produce from the land, and the vassals were also expected to remain loyal to the lords in matters of defense, etc. The lords themselves were usually subject to the king, who was in fact the sole owner of all the lands in his domain.
