Feudalism is a political and military system between a feudal aristocrat (a lord or liege), and his vassals. Feudalism flourished from the ninth century to the fifteenth century. In its most classic sense, feudalism refers to the Middle_AgesEuropean political system composed of a set of reciprocal legal and military obligations among the warrior nobility, revolving around the three key concepts of lords, vassals, and Fief. Although derived from the Latin word feodum (fief), then in use, the term feudalism and the system it describes were not conceived of as a formal political system by the people living in the Medieval Period.

JudyFeudalism is a form of government that in controlled by a king but the king then gives out land to lords for their trust. This helps the King rule the land successfully and makes ruling a whole lot easier. The lords were in charge of a section of land and people would live on there land so the lords gave them jobs and homes but than collected taxes. The lords took just enough taxes that the pheasants could get by but couldn't revolt or move up in stature. And lords then give out some of their land to knights for once again trust and to help the lords watch over the pheasants and also collected taxes and the lords gave some of the taxes to king as well. The appeal of feudalism was that the rich and powerful retained their power.
Kings owned huge pieces of land, and they gave big chunks of their land to nobles in exchange for the noble's loyalty and protection in case of attack by enemies. The nobles, in turn, allowed peasants to live and work on their land. The peasants (called serfs) provided food and goods and services for the nobles, in exchange for protection from invaders. This was called feudalisim.
