The rise of feudalism was based on a few major elements and causes. Central governments were unable to protect its peoples from foreign invasions, nor keep internal peace between rival lords within a kingdom. Landlords surrendered their properties to powerful local nobles in exchange for protection. Kings of various areas of Europe gave power to powerful nobles in order to maintain their own monarchy positions. Land grants were made from kings to their nobles and soon this land created powerful local areas of food production. Giving the nobles a stronger base of power.
The king, on paper, still owned all the lands of his/her kingdoms but only controlled their own estates,
their so-called domains.

Well, honey, let me break it down for you. The fall of the Roman Empire left Europe in chaos, so those feudal lords stepped in to fill the power vacuum. Plus, with all those pesky invasions happening left and right, people were desperate for protection, so they clung to those feudal arrangements like a lifeline. So, in a nutshell, it was a messy combination of power struggles and security concerns that gave birth to the feudal system.
