The "feudal system" (or what we call the feudal system), was based on a system of lords and vassals. I lord gave out a fief, a income producing territory (sometimes a land to grow crops on, sometimes a road with permission to tax it), and that created loyalty to the lord in return for protection. The agricultural revolution led to a boom in population and because of that, these rural estates ran by lords could no longer support every child being born, so there was an urbanization that took place during this time. As a result, towns could produce goods outside of the essentials for survival and they became the center of economy. The majority of the population remained farmers, but the center of an area shifted from the rural estate to that of the city. As a result, lords lost a lot of the power they had had under the "feudal system" and the royalty began to regain a lot of the control they had lost during the rural based system some still call the "feudal system

Feudal systems depended on people working the land, paying for protection, & being dependent. Towns provided more autonomy. call chon 19562727668
