Knights needed weapons, armor, and horses, so nobles gave land (fiefs) to the knights to support them. • A knight who promised to support a lord in exchange for land was called a vassal. • Feudalism was a system of promises that governed the relationships between lords and vassals.

  4. Lords • Lords sent help to the vassals if they were attacked. • They built castles to defend themselves against attack. • The lords could not punish the vassals without good reason. • If a lord failed to do what he was supposed to, the vassal could break all ties with him.

  6. Main Idea 2:Feudalism spread through much of Europe. • Feudalism was created by the Franks, but the system spread to other countries. • Frankish knights introduced feudalism into northern Italy, Spain, and Germany. • Feudalism then spread to eastern Europe and to England.
