What is feudal stystem?
The feudal system was one in which there was a king ruling over an entire kingdom. Since the kingdom was too large to handle (and also because the kings were too busy enjoying themselves), they gave charge of feifdoms to the feudal lords who were just influential people who boot-licked the king pretty well. However with the duration of time, these feudal lords began to think themselves as kings over the feifdoms, and the result was that the common man was exploited a lot. It gave rise to castes and stratas in society.
Who was the most important person in the feudal rule in 1066?
No. The king was the most important figure in the feudal system. He owned all the land in england and infeudated (rent in return for certain things such as military service) to his barons who infeudated it to knights and so on and so forth until the peasants. Therefore the priests and the church actually did not own any land at all making them less powerful if anything than prior to the Battle of Hastings. However King William had vowed to reform the church of England (hence gaining the papal banner to invade england with). Regardless of wether they gained or lost power, the church and priests were definitely not the most powerful people in the feudal system.
When was the feudal system first used?
It would be a mistake to think that the feudal system was invented all at once in a single time and place. It evolved over a long time, and the roots of the feudal system can be found in even the most ancient monarchies, going back as much as 8,000 years. (And even the earliest monarchs were just tribal chiefs with bigger tribes, so the roots can be traced back even farther.) However, the feudal system began to develop into the familiar medieval model after the fall of the Roman Empire, around 400 AD.

Did Medieval Europe have a central government?
The political scene in Medieval Europe was most characterized by the Feudal system. The Feudal system involves a very loose collection of lords and vassals who control their own plots of land and laborers, but pledge their loyalty to a single king. By nature, the feudal system is very decentralized as the day-to-day decisions were made by the individual lords and vassals over their individual areas of land, and were not decided by a king holding central authority.
