THE
FEUDAL SYSTEM
In Middle Age, most of European countries was managed
with feudal system. The feudal system is based on hierarchy. The system works
like that:
It was all
about land ownership. The King gave land to the nobles, who gave it to their
knights who gave it to the peasants. The peasants did the work, payed taxes and
served in the armies of the knights and nobles. The knights were loyal to their
Lords and supported them in their wars. All served the king!
Place in society was determined by birth and heritage. And the church confirmed this was a God-given system!

By time,
lords and barons became so powerful and signed The Magna Carta with King in 13th
century.
But nothing
lasts forever! After so many big problems (like The Black Death, The
Peasants Revolt, land based economy to money based economy) feudalism declined.
