How did the outbreak of plague in the 14th century contribute to the decline of feudalism in Europe?

Through much of the Middle Ages, serfs were not allowed to move off the manors where they lived. For the most part, they had to live and work in the places where they were born. The plague reduced the rural population so much that many members of the nobility did not have enough serfs to work their land. In fact some manors were abandoned altogether, because there were no serfs to work on them. The result was that a number of nobles bribed serfs to move illegally to their manors, and protected them once they got there. This broke the old manorial ties. You should understand, however, that the manorial system was never in use over all of Europe, and it was already on the decline long before the plague. Also, in some places, it lasted until long after the Black Death was over. In some places, it was still in place until the 19th century.


What are the similarities of Feudal and Manorial System?

The similarities of the two systems lie in the exchange of support and loyalty for the use of land. On the manor, the serfs were required to support the lord of the manor, in exchange for the rights to use the land, to have a home, and to be protected. In a monarchy, the lords were required to support the monarch in exchange for the right to have and use the manor and the protection of the monarch in time of need. Speaking broadly, manorialism was a system of running an agricultural estate called a manor, but feudalism was a system of running a country in which the land was distributed, as manors, to lords in exchange for support of the monarch. This question is a difficult to answer because different people use different meanings for the term, "feudal." To some people, the feudal system and the manorial system were almost the same thing. To other people they were very different. The manorial system is derived from the old farming system of the Roman empire, under which coloni worked on villas. Emperor Constantine I issued an edict that the coloni were not allowed to leave the villas, and so the system under which peasants were bound to the soil was born. The system of the villa evolved during the Middle Ages into the manorial system, which was basically the same, but more formalized. The coloni became serfs, and the villas became manors, but there were other changes, including systematized cooperative agriculture, manorial officers, manorial courts, and so on. And there are people who regard the feudal system as the manorial system with the added feature of manors being granted by kings in exchange for support. The manorial system existed through pretty much the entire Middle Ages, with some modification, such as the fact that nearly all the serfs had become free tenants by the end of the medieval time. The more narrow definition of the feudal system has manors as a part of the system, but its important features could probably have been developed without manors. According to this definition, feudalism was the use of a decentralized military system, as a response to the immediate threats to the nations that could arise locally, so quickly that the central government could not respond. An example of such a threat was an attack by Vikings, who could take what they wanted, destroy what remained, and be gone before the monarch even heard the news of what was happening. The manors were used as the reward to members of the nobility for their support of the monarch, and to provide a support base for the knights and soldiers, horses, and equipment supplied from the manor. Under this definition, feudalism had its beginnings about the time of Charlemagne, but had passed out of existence in most of Europe long before the end of the Middle Ages as central governments became strong again. As an example, according to this definition, feudalism was introduced to England by William the Conqueror, and was ended in the first quarter of the 14th century.

How did napoleon help abolish feudalism?

Napoleon came to power in 1799 but before him the Directory was in power. They abolished feudalism, but Napoleon then confirmed the abolishment of feudalism through the Civil Code also known as Code Napoleon. However Napoleon reintroduced hereditary rule and put a hierarchy in place through the legion of honour so he did a lot that went against the revolutionary idea of getting rid of feudalism.

Who was important in a medieval village?

Pretty much two estates. The Nobility and the church. The nobility protected people's land and crops and the church protected their souls. The church taught people that they were born with sin and the only way to get redemption was through them. The Nobility owned them and they were to serve them in war, peace, and even death.
