How did the feudal system work in medieval europe simple?
Pretty much the feudal system worked along these lines: A King has several Nobles who are each loyal to him and give him taxes that they have collected from the Vassals who are pretty much Knights and have sworn loyalty to their certain noble, who then go and collect taxes from the peasants who are bound to their noble and his land, this class makes up a vast majority of the population. So here’s the breakdown: King- On top, Collects taxes from Nobles Noble- Collects taxes from Vassals Vassal- Collects taxes from peasants, protect the peasants, have sworn loyalty to a Noble Peasants- Give taxes to Vassals, are bound to the land of a Noble in large estates called “Manors”, make up a majority of the population.
