Feudalism
Begun by the Franks and spread to all of Western Europe, kings offered nobles a grant of
land, known as a feud or fief, in exchange for loyalty and service. The nobleman, known as
the vassal, gave allegiance to the king.
![Page 19: Byzantine Empire - Needham Broughton High School Mr. Kibretnbhsykibret.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/1/7/60175003/... · Byzantine Empire Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042806/5f6a4cf1934354568870269b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Manorialism
During feudalism, most people lived on manors. A manor consisted of the lord’s house and the peasants living in the surrounding territory. This economic system is referred to as
manorialism.
![Page 20: Byzantine Empire - Needham Broughton High School Mr. Kibretnbhsykibret.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/1/7/60175003/... · Byzantine Empire Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042806/5f6a4cf1934354568870269b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Three-Field System
Farmers laced specific knowledge of how to enrich the soil or rotate crops. Each year, only 2/3 of the land was cultivated, letting the other 1/3 remain fallow or
uncultivated.
![Page 21: Byzantine Empire - Needham Broughton High School Mr. Kibretnbhsykibret.weebly.com/uploads/6/0/1/7/60175003/... · Byzantine Empire Constantine moved the capital of the Roman Empire](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042806/5f6a4cf1934354568870269b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Peasants/SerfsPeasant farmers produced the food used by medieval society. Most worked long hours to grow enough food to survive each year. Although most peasants were farmers, some were millers, blacksmiths, and tavern owners. Life revolved around the agrarian calendar. Most of the time was spent working the land. Peasants live din small towns or nearby farms on their lord’s manor. A typical home was a 2 room cottage with wall of dried mud, branches and straw.

Lords/NoblesNobles controlled political life under feudalism. They built large castles for their own protection, often rivaling those of the king in size. They surrounded themselves with armed knights. The king relied on his nobles for his own army, and the nobles often fought among themselves or challenged the king’s authority. Civil wars were frequent, and powerful nobles often grabbed land for themselves.
