Fuedalism, or the Fuedal System, was instituted throughout Medieval Europe. In the Fuedal System, serfs, or peasants, work on land belonging to a lord, in exchange for protection. This land was owned by a lord, who lived in a manor house, and had a small private army of knights, who defended the manor in return for a small amount of pay and a place to live. Fuedalism was abolished at the turn of the 17th century and was replaced by absolutism, or a system where nations are ruled under one monarch, or ruler.
