How was feudalism a system of mutually dependent relationships between lords vassals and serfs What was the importance of land rights in this arrangement?
The Feudal lord provides the Vassal with land. The Vassal, in return, vows to fight for the Feudal lord, or serve him in various ways. The serfs who are mostly poor will be needing protection as well as a place to live in (err-- land). Thus, the serfs are usually required to pay taxes or till the vassal's land or serve the vassal. The reciprocal relationship between the feudal lord, vassal, and serf shows that neither can live without the other. Land, on the other hand, is given much importance because a thousand years ago, everybody wanted/needed land. (Territory was a necessity)
