repeated assaults on W.
Europe, causing fear and
disruption, they also created
trade routes and settlements

*The political system that
developed in Europe, which
provided the framework that
allowed the people to survive the
breakdown of central
government and order.
*Lasted for 600 to 800 years
because the system clearly
organized people’s rights and
duties
FEUDALISM
Military and political system
based on land ownership and
loyalty.
 *The growth of feudalism in
Europe during the Middle Ages
was primarily due to the
collapse of strong central
governments because aristocrats
provided some law and order in
exchange for service

FEUDALISM

System based on mutual
obligation
– *Relationships among groups of
people were clearly defined in
social classes because weak
national government lacked the
ability to provide law and order.

the land, their strong
Christian faith kept
them from leaving the
harsh conditions

(peasants) paid
high taxes & had a
harsh life
 Tithe-10% of income is
given to the church
 Fiefs are inherited by
the eldest son. Effectyoung sons live with a
relative & remain

FEUDAL PYRAMID – SOCIAL
AND POLITICAL
• *Society is based on
social classes
• *European feudal system
relied on the labor of
peasants to support other
social classes in exchange
for
• *Protection from the
invaders
• *Settlement of
disputes
• *Distribution of food
*Manor Economy
Manor – The Lord's estate
 *Agriculture is the major economic factor because of
the availability of arable land
 *Self Sufficient–
had to produce everything they needed on the manor

*Three Field System

Divided the field
into 3 parts.
– One field grew soil
depleting crop
– One field grew soil
replenishing crop
– One field rested

Allowed them to
produce more
crops
MANOR
 *Manorialism
develops as the
economic system
because of the lack of
trade and selfsufficient
communities
Feudalism
Lord gives land, shelter,
and protection to serfs in
return for work.
 Owning land gives power,
wealth, and position
 *The development of
feudalism and manorialism
filled a void that was
created by the loss of the
Roman imperial
protection.
