TRUE! Feudalism is a series of complicated lord-and-vassal relationships between nobles, but the living conditions of serfs under the feudal system are hugely important to Western history. The overall squalor of the lives of the serfs (lower classes) contributed to the rapid spread of diseases like the black plague, the eventual re-emergence of major population centers, and the prevalence and importance of the Catholic church.
The system you are referring to is called Feudalism. Feudalism was a social and economic system in medieval Europe where land was owned by kings and nobles and was granted to vassals in exchange for loyalty and service. The hierarchy consisted of the king at the top, followed by knights, merchants, and serfs at the bottom.
