![Page 15: Unit 6 The Middle Ages](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164a6550346895dd69ace/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The start of FeudalismPost-Charlemagne Europe is dangerous
Feudalism, which is based on mutual obligations, develops.
![Page 16: Unit 6 The Middle Ages](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164a6550346895dd69ace/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
FEUDALISM – A POLITICAL SYSTEM IN WHICH NOBLES ARE GRANTED THE USE OF LANDS THAT LEGALLY BELONG TO THEIR KING, IN EXCHANGE FOR THEIR LOYALTY, MILITARY SERVICE, AND PROTECTION OF THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE LAND.
![Page 17: Unit 6 The Middle Ages](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164a6550346895dd69ace/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How does Feudalism work?Lords give Fiefs to VassalsLORD – LANDOWNER WHO GRANTS FIEFS.
FIEF – A PIECE OF LAND GRANTED TO A VASSAL.
VASSAL – THE PERSON RECEIVING THE FIEF; OFTEN A KNIGHT OR SERF.
![Page 18: Unit 6 The Middle Ages](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/568164a6550346895dd69ace/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
SERFS – PEASANTS WHO COULD NOT LEGALLY LEAVE THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE BORN.
KNIGHTS – MOUNTED WARRIORS WHO PLEDGED TO DEFEND THEIR LORDS’ LAND IN EXCHANGE FOR A FIEF.

The Crusades In 1093, the Byzantine
emperor called for help against invasion by Muslim Turks. “Come then, with all your people and give
battle with all your strength, so that all this treasure shall not fall into the hands of the Turks…Therefore act while there is still time lest the kingdom of the Christians shall vanish from your sight…And in your coming, you will find your reward in heaven, and if you do not come, God will condemn you.”
--Emperor Alexius Comnenus
