What were the positive effects of feudalism upon Europe in the Middle Ages?

Answer 1

Feudalism originated at a time when Western Europe was quite troubled, when the central government of the Carolingian Empire was losing strength. Vikings were attacking almost any community they wanted to that could be reached by water, a threat that required a quick response from a local army. Insurrections, invasions, and other problems were all developing more quickly than the central government could respond to them.

Feudalism was developed to deal with these problems. It worked rather well, as a solution for the problems that prevailed at the time. It provided stability, protected people, and gave much of Western Europe a basis for growth and development.

Under feudalism, the ordinary people of a country were largely powerless. They could appeal to their lords for protection, when that was required. If the protection they needed was from the lord himself, then they could appeal to the Church. None of this worked as well as it could have, but it was probably better than being made a slave of some invader.

Answer 2

Feudalism was good because: 1. It offered protection to all the common people, because they were being watched and protected by the knights. 2. The knights got money from the lord in exchange for protection over the lord's manor. 3. The lords got protection in exchange from the knights (which is called a fief)

Those are just some of the reasons

Answer 3

Feudalism was a way to organize society when there was no central goverment. But,Peasants made up about 90% of the population. They worked as Serfs, farming the land on manors owned by Lord's. The Lords collected taxes for the King. The Serfs were not slaves but they had to follow the Lord's rules. In return they were given work and protection.
