How is the spanish encomienda system similar to the feudal hierarchy of the middle ages?
It was similar because the feudal hierarchy had high ranked people on top and low ranked people on the bottom. The encomienda system was when the person is assigned a number of slaves/workers to do things for them such as hard labour. Feudalism is when the high ranked person orders the low ranked person to work for them. I'm sure now you see the similarities. They have the high ranked people in control and low ranked people working. So that is the similarities low ranked people working for high ranked people for both systems.
