- Today we are going to talk about the feudal system, under this system all land in kingdom belonged to the king , he parcelled out large chunks to great lords in exchange for their military and political support. it was formed a hierarchical network below the king of earls, barons, lords of the manor and villains, all bound together by pairs of reciprocal obligations. Does anyone known the lowest operational unit in this system ? and what ensured the medieval feudal system?

They had a thousand pretexts for establishing taxes on their vassals, who were generally considered "taxable and to be worked at will." Kings and councils waived the necessity of their studying, in order to be received as bachelors of universities.
