What is fudalism?

After the Roman Empire fell in 476 CE, Europe was having political problems. The area also had issues dealing with economic problems and social problems too. As a result Feudalism was developed. Feudalism is a system of sharing land and in return was paying back in taxes or goods, and contains a hierarchy. This Hierarchy starts at the top with a monarch or a king. The monarch controlled all the land. Second came the nobles who were noble to the king (that is how they got their name). Nobles controlled a little piece of the monarch's land called a fief. On this fief the noble controlled knights and peasant's. Next in line were the knights. The kinght's duty is to protect the nobles fief or the king's kingdom. On the bottom of the hierarchy are the surfs, or peasant's. The surfs are tied to the land they worked on. They provide food for a Noble's fief. This hierarchy in Feudalism kept everyone in their place and the world in balance.
