What was the role of peasants in a medieval village?
A peasant was an agricultural worker. Peasants grew food and other agricultural products. The peasants could be slaves, serfs, free tenants, or proprietors of small farms. In Western Europe, during much of the Middle Ages, most were serfs, who lived on manorial estates, and were not permitted to leave but were freer than slaves. Serfs typically worked on or two days out of each week for their lords, and much of the remainder of their time on communal labors. They also had their own small plots for their own use.

What social class in Europe gained power after the crusades?
That would be the Burghers, or the middle class. After the crusades, trade required a money economy to be used throughout Europe, undermining the way the Feudal system worked. Lords had to pay their serfs, and there was little way for them to do that. As a result, many of the lords lost land and the serfs on it were freed, becoming the Middle Class. Another reason that some of the lords were displaced is because some nobles died in battle in the Crusades and their land went to kings. Other nobles sold their land for war supplies and allowed their serfs to buy freedom and inhabit the town or be free on the land. The middle class was also on kings' good sides in the first place because the King could collect taxes from them to fund wars.

The only short term effect was that the revolt was a failure and the long term effects are that the poll taxes were dropped, the government stopped controling the wages, the feudal system collapsed, 100 years later the peasants demands about the feudal system had finally been heard and dealt with and by 1500 there were no villains and all labourers were free.

What was the conclusion to Japan's feudal System?
The feudal system was meant to help organize things for people.( To help people) how it worked: what happened was that the king was at the top and then the nobles were given land that was split up so they couldn't start a rebellion and the nobles gave their land to lots of knights which gave there land to lots of peasants which farmed the land and paid taxes. the knights fought and the king gave the noble more land so that he was richer more land=richer you are! this kind of system was based on kept promises. if some promises were not kept the entire system fails. Therefore I think that the Feudal System isn't fair especially for the peasants.

Explain the mutual obligations between lord and serfs under the manor system?
The peasant's obligations to the Lord of the Manor were based mostly on farming work. The peasant would work large proportions of their day on the land of their Lord, the rest of their day would be put toward farming for themselves and their family. This is why peasants often had large families, as they often did not have enough time to properly support their family and thus needed as many family members as possible to help with the farming. In exchange for working on their Lord's land, peasants were given small plots of lands for themselves and their family. Aswell as the plot of land, peasants were promised protection by their Lords. That means the peasants or villeins had to work 5 days a week (weekwork they used to call it though)
How are nobles and serfs similar?
The only way they were alike is that they were human. Nobles lived life better than peasants and serfs. Peasants were a little better off than a serf since they weren't a slave and a serf was. Yet, a peasant was an economic slave. He couldn't leave the land, and he owed his life to the lord(landlord). He had to do what he was told and pay his taxes to the lord and the church even in death.
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)
