  1. History 11 Feudalism

  2. Farming System • After the fall of Rome the large network of trade, large cities, and civilization faded. • Most people were farmers and herders. They lived their life working the land and kept a strong family system.

  3. The Emergence of Feudalism • The people in Europe were not at peace very often. They faced invasion from the Vikings, Muslims, and Magyars. Many people wanted more land. • They needed protection for their homes and their lands and as individual communities they were unable to protect themselves. This brought about Feudalism.

  6. Feudalism • Feudalism is a loosely organized system of rule in which powerful local lords divided their landholdings among lesser lords. In exchange the lesser lords, sometimes called vassals, pledged service to the greater lord. • The relationship between the lords and vassals was established through pledges known as the feudal contract.

  7. Feudalism • The Lords would give the vassal a fief, or estate. The amount of land varied, but it did include peasants to work the land as well as towns or buildings to manage. • As part of the feudal contract the vassal would pledge loyalty to protect the lord. They vowed at least 40 days of military service.

  8. Feudalism • Everyone had a place in the feudal society. Below the monarch were powerful lords, such as dukes and counts, who had large fiefs. Each of these lords had people below them. In many cases, the same man was both vassal and lord—vassal to a more powerful lord above him. This did cause some disputes when lords quarreled.

  9. The World of Nobles • For feudal nobles, warfare was a way of life. Rival lords battled constantly for power. Many trained from boyhood to be a knight, or mounted warrior. • At age 7 a boy slated to become a knight would be sent away to the castle of his father’s lord. There he learned to ride a horse fight, keep weapons nice, and discipline. Any laziness was punished with severe beatings.

  10. Knighting • When a knight has finished training he kneels before an older knight and is dubbed as a knight. • As feudal warfare decreased in the 1100s, tournaments or mock battles, came into fashion.

  11. Castles • During the early Middle Ages, powerful lords fortified their homes from attack. They would large walls, big bridges, and moats or water filled ditches to keep out potential attackers.

You need to have 3 drawings. One needs to include the hierarchy of the feudal system. The other two are up to you but need to be anything from the era.
