Best Answer

The feudal system was really a system of political-military allegiances whereby aristocrats gave landed estates to lesser aristocrats and knights in exchange for loyalty and military services. The economic dimension of the system is that the aristocrats were landlords who appropriated the produce of the peasants and ensured their labour services through serfdom. Through serfdom, the peasants were tied to the lord and were not allowed to leave their villages. They also had to pay a rent. Sharecropping (paying with a share of the harvest) was common, but cash payments also developed. Labour services were obtained through the requirement to work on the estate of the lord for set amounts of time. Tributes also had to be given. These consisted of giving the lord a certain number of animals, dairy products, and the like. Transgression of these rules involved severe punishment.
