How did the feudal system begin?

William the conqueror (also known as William, Duke of Normandy or William I) first made the feudal system because he wanted to gain power and control over England. Also, he gave lands to people for homeage and the knights worked for him. Also, they had to pay tax for their lands so that way, William could pay the Knights.

Who were the people at the bottom of the feudilism?

At the bottom of the feudalism hierarchy were peasants, often referred to as serfs. They worked the land and provided agricultural labor in exchange for protection and a place to live, but they had very limited rights and were generally bound to the land they worked. Their labor sustained the feudal system, but they had little power or social mobility.


What Was true of serfdom?

Serfdom was a socio-economic system prevalent in medieval Europe, where serfs were bound to the land and required to work for a landowner in exchange for protection and a place to live. They had limited rights and could not freely leave the estate without permission. This system often involved a mix of labor obligations and payment in kind, reinforcing the feudal hierarchy. Over time, serfdom declined, particularly with the rise of market economies and changes in agricultural practices.
