When Rome fell to to barbarians it left a power void and that meant the strongest ruled. As the barbarian tribes ravaged Europe and sent the population into hiding, slavery or death only the strong could protect themselves. These men eventually came to power, controlled the areas and told the population what they wanted. They created vast armies, built strong castles with the knights enforcing the "law" of the land.

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.


The growth of feudalism in Europe during the middle ages was primarily caused by the?

Indirectly, the fall of Rome, and more directly, the threat of Viking attack. Viking raids during the Medieval period were common -- it WAS the Viking Age -- and what people do when they're under attack is run to the nearest fortified building.
