| What is feudalism and why did it start in Western Europe? | Feudalism: system of relationships and promises between lords and vassals. The cause of feudalism was the inability of the kings of the Franks to defend their land from the invaders who were coming for all sides (Vikings, Magyars, Muslims). |
| How did feudalism work? Include the words nobles (lords), vassals, and kings in your answer. *** A noble and lord are the same thing.** | Kings gave land to lords to defend it and their power grew. Lords hired knights to protect the land and in return lords gave them a piece of their land called a fief. Knights were now a vassal (person who promises to support a lord in exchange for land). |
| What was a lord's duties to their vassal? | Send help if vassal was attacked, help vassal build castles for defense. |
| What was a vassals duties to their lord? | Give lord money on special occasions (marriages, festivals), give lord food and shelter when he visits. Fight with lord in battle |
| What is the manor system? | Manor System: process of turning a piece of land called a fief into a self-sufficient property. |
| How did the manor system work? | Knights no time to farm the fiefs (land) so they turned them into manors and became the lords of their manors. Each manor had castle, pasture, fields, forests, houses for workers, church. Peasants/serfs farmed land, gave lord food, got protection. |
