The Great Famine of 1315-1317 significantly weakened the feudal system by exacerbating social tensions and economic instability. The widespread crop failures and subsequent food shortages led to increased mortality, reduced labor supply, and peasant unrest. This turmoil helped to shift power dynamics, as lords faced difficulties maintaining control over their lands and laborers. While it didn't end feudalism outright, it contributed to its gradual decline by accelerating changes in social structures and economic practices.
