Why did the feudal system develop during the middle ages?
The problem in answering this question stems from the exact meaning of feudalism, an issue on which many scholars find disagreement. Feudalism was characterised by a social hierarchy - king, lords, knights and serfs being important examples. Feudalism protected the position of the king, by ensuring the loyalty and service of the lords and knights, in return for position and favours. But feudalism, as we understand it, could probably not have existed without the serfs. When the supply of slaves, from central and eastern Europe, dried up in the tenth century, serfdom became the answer. Landholders also found that serfs were not only cheaper, but easier to manage than slaves had been.
How the mandieval manor came into into being?
Middle Ages Feudalism was based on the exchange of land, called a fief, for military service. King William the Conqueror used the concept of feudalism to reward his Norman supporters for their help in the conquest of England. The land belonging to the English was taken and given to Norman Knights and Nobles. These estates were known as Manors.
What were the positive effects of feudalism upon Europe in the Middle Ages?
Feudalism originated at a time when Western Europe was quite troubled, when the central government of the Carolingian Empire was losing strength. Vikings were attacking almost any community they wanted to that could be reached by water, a threat that required a quick response from a local army. Insurrections, invasions, and other problems were all developing more quickly than the central government could respond to them. Feudalism was developed to deal with these problems. It worked rather well, as a solution for the problems that prevailed at the time. It provided stability, protected people, and gave much of Western Europe a basis for growth and development. Under feudalism, the ordinary people of a country were largely powerless. They could appeal to their lords for protection, when that was required. If the protection they needed was from the lord himself, then they could appeal to the Church. None of this worked as well as it could have, but it was probably better than being made a slave of some invader.
