The Feudal System
The Feudal System is the system used in medieval times. It was based upon the lending of land in return for services.
The system came to be when there was too much land to guard so the previous system collapsed.
The Church is the real ruler. The king is thought to be the ruler but the church overrules everyone as they speak to God and everyone believes in God.
