a oath of loyalty and a pledge of military service.
Medieval Europe was ruled by kings and aristocratic families.
European and Japanese feudalism share similarities in their hierarchical social structures, where land ownership and loyalty were central to political and military organization. Both systems featured a network of lords and vassals, with lords granting land in exchange for military service and loyalty. Additionally, both societies emphasized a code of conduct—chivalry in Europe and bushido in Japan—that governed the behavior of their warriors. Ultimately, both systems were designed to maintain order and security in a time of political fragmentation.
the answer to this is simple. FEUDALISM. it is the word that defines medieval Europe as a whole and takes the meaning of feud to the next level. if you get this as an essay question just put that word. just that word. your history teacher will love it and give you and A-- it worked for me! haha... but really.
Feudalism is characterized by a hierarchical system of land ownership and obligations, where lords grant land (fiefs) to vassals in exchange for loyalty and military service. The system is marked by a decentralized political structure, with power distributed among various nobles rather than a centralized authority. Additionally, feudalism includes a system of serfdom, where peasants work the land for lords in return for protection and a place to live, often with limited rights.
At the top: Emperor (highest position, but no political power)Second in line: Shogun (actual ruler, had political power)Third in line: Daimyo (large landowners)Fourth in line: Samurai/Ninja (warriors loyal to Daimyo)The rest: Peasants (3/4 of population), Merchants (lowest status but gradually gained influence), Artisans (made swords and armor for the Samurai class)Compare it to medieval feudalism, very similar.

Manorialism was an economic system centered around the manor, where peasants worked the land in exchange for protection and use of land, while feudalism was a political and social system based on the exchange of land for loyalty and military service. In manorialism, the focus was on agricultural production, while feudalism encompassed broader societal and political structures. Feudalism involved a hierarchy of lords, vassals, and serfs, while manorialism focused more on the relationship between lords and peasants on the manor.
