There is no commonly accepted definition of feudalism. The word derives from the holding of land for the exchange for service and labour. It flourished between the 9th and 15th Centuries. The word/idea is of Arabic origin but in Medieval Latin the service and labour exchange was known as 'beneficium'. Later the word 'feudum' began to replace 'beneficium' in legal ducuments. The practice died out in Western Europe in the 15th Cantury
