  2. kiK The Feudal System The feudal system was a way of government based on the acts between the lord or king and vassal. The king gave large valuables to his friends and family. The feudal system went from top to bottom: Kings, Nobles, Lords, Villeins, and Serfs. This is almost like a triangle. The people at the bottom, or lower class, didn’t get almost anything, but they still had to work for the king. The top, or upper class, got more rights and privileges than the lower class. Judicial power was given to the nobles and the lords. The nobles and the lords seemed to be favored because they were in the upper class. This process shows that in the Middle Ages, the feudal system wasn’t fair at all. King Nobles Lords Villiens and Serfs
