There is no agreed definition of feudalism, so one has to be careful how one answers this question. If you mean When did serfdom end? the answer is that it varied from country to country. On the whole it ended (in practice) in England in the late Middle Ages and had gone by reign of Elizabeth I.
In Eastern Europe serfdom was introduced in the late Middle Ages, at the very time when it was falling into disuse in Western Europe. In Prussia the serfs were emancipated in 1811, in the Habsburg territories in 1848 and Russia did not abolish serfdom till 1861.
One of the main causes was black death (plague) which:
1) caused such a reduction in the overall work force that, for the first time,
Feudal lords had to compete for labor
2) Some Manors had the entire ruling class wiped out
3) Fear of catching the plague drove people to be mobile for the first time
A couple of things were a part of it. A big part was something called the Magna Carta. It was writing that declared that everyone should have their rights. So if you were charged for a crime, you would appear in court. The Magna Carta spread power out to more people too, some peasants had power instead of just the monarch(king), lords, and knights.
After Rome fell it left a power gap and when that happens there are people who will take control. This is what happened in Europe and the most powerful men set up a system where they controlled areas and made serfs or slaves of the people living there. They became wealthy, married daughters into other families that also had control of lands, had wars over lands, and killed or enslaved those who disagreed with them. For a thousand years this went on. This is how a feudal society is created. To some extent you see this happening right now with Isis. They are a feudal group that follows 12th century beliefs and they want to create a new feudal world.
