The feudal system declined due to several interconnected factors, including the rise of centralized monarchies, which diminished the power of local lords. The growth of trade and urbanization led to the emergence of a middle class that sought more freedom and economic opportunities outside the feudal hierarchy. Additionally, events like the Black Death reduced the population, resulting in labor shortages that empowered peasants to demand better conditions. Together, these changes weakened the feudal structure and paved the way for modern nation-states.
The similarities of the two systems lie in the exchange of support and loyalty for the use of land. On the manor, the serfs were required to support the lord of the manor, in exchange for the rights to use the land, to have a home, and to be protected. In a monarchy, the lords were required to support the monarch in exchange for the right to have and use the manor and the protection of the monarch in time of need. Speaking broadly, manorialism was a system of running an agricultural estate called a manor, but feudalism was a system of running a country in which the land was distributed, as manors, to lords in exchange for support of the monarch. This question is a difficult to answer because different people use different meanings for the term, "feudal." To some people, the feudal system and the manorial system were almost the same thing. To other people they were very different. The manorial system is derived from the old farming system of the Roman empire, under which coloni worked on villas. Emperor Constantine I issued an edict that the coloni were not allowed to leave the villas, and so the system under which peasants were bound to the soil was born. The system of the villa evolved during the Middle Ages into the manorial system, which was basically the same, but more formalized. The coloni became serfs, and the villas became manors, but there were other changes, including systematized cooperative agriculture, manorial officers, manorial courts, and so on. And there are people who regard the feudal system as the manorial system with the added feature of manors being granted by kings in exchange for support. The manorial system existed through pretty much the entire Middle Ages, with some modification, such as the fact that nearly all the serfs had become free tenants by the end of the medieval time. The more narrow definition of the feudal system has manors as a part of the system, but its important features could probably have been developed without manors. According to this definition, feudalism was the use of a decentralized military system, as a response to the immediate threats to the nations that could arise locally, so quickly that the central government could not respond. An example of such a threat was an attack by Vikings, who could take what they wanted, destroy what remained, and be gone before the monarch even heard the news of what was happening. The manors were used as the reward to members of the nobility for their support of the monarch, and to provide a support base for the knights and soldiers, horses, and equipment supplied from the manor. Under this definition, feudalism had its beginnings about the time of Charlemagne, but had passed out of existence in most of Europe long before the end of the Middle Ages as central governments became strong again. As an example, according to this definition, feudalism was introduced to England by William the Conqueror, and was ended in the first quarter of the 14th century.

There is no one single event that marks the end of the middle ages, but there are many events and movements, cultural, religious, economic, and political, that mark the end and the start toward modern times. In general, these events center broadly around the year 1500. In 1453 Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks. This was the start of Ottoman advance into southeast Europe. It also displace many Greek scholars, some of which ended up in Italy and stimulated the Italian Renaissance, which challenged many of Europe's scientific and cultural ideas. In 1519 the protestant reformation started, ending the hegemony of the Catholic church over religious life in Europe. Economically, patterns of farming and land holding changed with the enclosure movement, resulting in the degradation of the old manor system and open field farming. Monarchs started to consolidate their power at this point, converting the old feudal structure to the starts of centralized monarchies. 1492 marked Columbus's first journey to the new world, as the Age of Discovery and contact with the new world began. Europe began the process of interacting with the wider world on a much wider scale. The seeds of overseas empire were planted. Printing developed in the middle of the 15th century greatly expanded the availability of books and starting an increase in literacy, which helped fuel cultural changes and advances in the the sciences and humanities. All of these events and others marked the end of the middle ages.

The Hundred Years War helped to end feudalism because the kings began to rely on hired soldiers instead of feudal knights. Knights fighting on behalf of the king had been an essential feature of the feudal system.
