By strengthening royal authority at expenses of nobles and shifting power to common people. ------------------------------- This is true for the Magna Carta, but not the same for the Model Parliament introduced by Edward I.

The crusades helped to end Feudalism by changing the triangle hierarchy and shifting the power. During the crusades the Christians and European people started to not only hate the wonderful Muslims but envy their work and great ideas.

Peasants started to see they could better themselves by leaving the manor and becoming merchants trading with the Muslims on the coastal. So now peasants were merchants and merchants were added to the hierarchy changing the triangle and feudalism. Now peasants power and wealth increased, nobles power decreased, and kings power increased by the taxing of more people. This power also decreased the nobles because their protection wasn't needed anymore due to the fact the king could now buy an army for protection. So the deal between nobles and knights soon decreased and the feudal hierarchy began to end
