Feudalism and the Church.
Feudalism is the form of government and the nobility were required to give so many days a month to the king for military training/service.
Feudalism primarily focused on the relationships between the nobility and their vassals, with less direct concern for the lower class, which included peasants and serfs. While the system relied on the labor and loyalty of these lower classes for agricultural production and military support, their rights and well-being were often overlooked. The lower class was primarily bound to the land and subject to the obligations imposed by their lords, highlighting their subordinate role within the feudal hierarchy. Thus, feudalism was more concerned with maintaining power dynamics and obligations between the nobility than with addressing the needs of the lower class.
The three primary classes of feudalism are the nobility, clergy, and peasantry. The nobility, including lords and knights, held land and power, offering protection to those beneath them in exchange for service. The clergy, consisting of church officials, played a significant role in spiritual leadership and often owned land, influencing both society and politics. The peasantry, or serfs, worked the land and provided labor, receiving protection and sustenance in return, but often had limited rights and freedoms.

the lords, knights, kings, queens, serfs, and freemen got it the best
There's the nobility, who owned the castles, the knights, who worked for them, and the serfs, who were basically slaves.
When Rome fell feudalism took over and the Catholic Church took over with monarchies. There was no learning, people couldn't read or write, only priests and nobility could had any schooling, and 90% of the population were serfs working for the nobility. Art was religious and used in churches.
Feudalism is ordered as follows. First the peasants produce goods, then the knights protect and extort the peasants, and finally the nobility and clergy survive off collections made by the knights.
The way it would link the nobility was through marriage between noble families. In fact, the Queen today can trace her family back through time and marriages. This method provided that the power stay within the nobility.

Examples of feudalism include medieval Europe, Japan during the shogunate period, and parts of Africa during the pre-colonial era. Feudal societies were characterized by a hierarchical system where land ownership and power were vested in a ruling nobility, with peasants and serfs working the land in exchange for protection and services.
The beginnings of Feudalism are obscure. Powerful men with powerful armies eventually gained control of the lands in early Europe. Feudalism was grounded on a simple principle: the land is the state and therefore the head of state (the king) owns the land. All the variations of Feudalism flowed from that principle. The king granted estates to the nobility in return for service. The nobility then became the local rulers and established their own hierarchy's. Therefore, the country was governed by those lords, and Kings eventually became figureheads. The nobility granted land rights and protection to vassals in return for service. Those rights descended to serfs and tenants in return for services and villages evolved around the estates. As rights descended there was a diminution of status. To work the land, keep the masses poor and the gentry rich
