a contract between a peasant and their lord for protection and life in the medieval time
The word feudalism comes from the Latin word feodum or fuedum. In the feudalism system, land lords made a fair exchange with the peasants. The lords offered peasants food, a fortification,and protection, as they worked for them.
Feudalism
Feudalism was based on a hierarchy of needs, where serfs and peasants were at the bottom, and the Pope and highest leaders were at the top.
Feudalism is ordered as follows. First the peasants produce goods, then the knights protect and extort the peasants, and finally the nobility and clergy survive off collections made by the knights.
Feudalism in China, like Feudalism all over the world, was meant to keep peasants oppressed and nobles powerful. It succeeded for centuries.
