Feudalism started in 800s and it began in a time of violence and warfare. it was started because people were poor and needed protection after the Roman Empire collapsed there was no more protection so the lord-vassal system was created it created order and stability.The vassal would fight for the lord when needed and in return were given land and serfs to work the land for them. Vassals were considered nobles but with less power.Serfs were allowed onto the estate after swearing an oath of fealty to the lord in exchange for his service should it be required to help defend the estate.The serfs then could rent and farm the land to provide sustenance for their families. so basically everyone had what they needed like serfs needed land. food. and protection. Lords needed armies (knights) and vassals needed land.
