What is one medieval innovation and how did it influence on medieval society?

One important innovation was the introduction of the horse collar. This happened in the Early Middle Ages, at about the same time that horse shoes were introduced. Together, these innovations made it possible for a horse to pull a heavy plow, which was another innovation of the time, without getting tired or having foot problems. The effect of this was a large increase in agricultural production, which freed many people to do things other than farming. Another innovation was the introduction of the stirrup, which made possible the use of the couched lance. This gave rise to the importance of the mounted knight, and this, in turn, brought about the manorial system and chivalry. Another innovation was the invention of the chimney and fireplace. The Middle Ages were the first time in the history of humanity that a couple could get cozy in front of a fireplace in the privacy of their own room. This, of course, is one of my favorites.
