Feudalism was a system of society in which vassals acknowledged and fought for a lord in return for
his protection for their persons and land tenure.
The lord in turn paid allegiance to a king in return
for his granting of their status, though this was
very often a disputed relationship. Feudalism was
thus a comprehensive social system which defined authority and property rights. |
