how did feudalism develop in england |
Answer» \tThe word ‘Feudalism’ is derived from the German word ‘feud’ which means ‘a piece of land’. Feudalism was a division of society that initially developed in medieval France, then in England and southern Italy.\tIt was a kind of agricultural production relationship between lords and peasants.\tThe nobility had a privileged role in the social process with absolute control over his land. They raised troops that were called ‘Feudal Levies’. The King of France was linked to his people through the system of ‘vassalage’. The King was accepted as\xa0Seigneur, i.e. lord. The nobility lived in manor houses.\tThe cavalry and peasant soldiers were called\xa0knights. Minstrels and bards toured France, singing tales of brave kings and knights.<br>When William the Conqueror became King of\xa0England\xa0in 1066 he introduced a new kind of\xa0feudal\xa0system into Britain.
