∙ 13y agoFeudalism was a hierchy. In a hierchy people were ranked by their importance. People were born into the feudal system and were expected to stay in that level for their entire lives. Feudalism was based on land, loyalty, and duty. Nobles and knights swore allegiances in order to get the right to pieces of land, assigned by the King. The Church had as much power as barons and over time, they became a very large landowner.
