Lesson Objective
Our lesson today is on the political structure of the
feudal system and the importance of the relationship between
lords and vassals during the Middle Ages.
PYRAMID OF POWER
M&M Activity
2 Minute Writing: Do you think the feudal system was fair? Why or why not?
Feudalism The legal and social
system that existed in medieval Europe after the reign of Charlemagne.
Under this System a noble (Lord) granted land (Fief) to a lesser noble (Vassal).
In exchange for the fief a vassal promised loyalty, and military service to the lord.
The Manor System Manorialism: the
economic system in much of Europe during the middle ages.
People who lived on manors needed to be self-sufficient.
A lord and several peasant families shared the land of the manor.
Lord kept about 1/3 of the lands for himself (called the domain)
Peasant Life Peasant life was difficult. Peasants (or serfs) could not
leave the land without the lord’s permission.
Paid about 70% of their income/goods to their Lord.
Meal consisted mainly of bread, lentils, some vegetables, and ale.
Life expectance was short. Lived, worked, and died all
in the village they were born.
Nobles’ Lifestyles Did not live in
luxury. Castle had thick
walls and small windows; rooms were dark and chilly.
Lords spent the day looking after their land and administering justice among his vassals and serfs.

What is a Knight? Almost all nobles were knights Training began at age 7, as a page,
under the guidance of the lady of the manor
Became squires at age 15 and were trained by other knights in the code of chivalry and the use of weapons.
When ready the squires would accompany the knights into battle. Those deemed worthy were “dubbed” knights.
Chivalry
Code of conduct that dictated knights’ behavior towards others.
Knights were expected to be courageous, fight fairly, be loyal, keep their word, treat conquered foes gallantly, and be courteous to women and the less powerful.
Knights armor weighed about 100 lbs.
Chain armorArmor made of overlapping
metal and leather.

The Church Medieval Church had broad
political powers (central governments were weak)
Church powers extended across kingdoms and through every social and political level.
Church vs. Monarchs and church members: Page
302-303Canon Law: The church had its own laws and courts. Members of the church and the clergy could be tried and convicted in church courts.Policy/Action What is it? How was it used to make

Political Economic and Social Role of the Church. Popes held some political power, not just
spiritual power over European monarchs. Church had its own code of law, called cannon
law, and its own courts. Members of the church and members of the
clergy could be found guilty in court and excommunicated.
Excommunication: Person is kicked out of the church and not allowed to participate in the sacraments and other ordinances needed for the afterlife.
Held much economic power during the Middle Ages.– One of Europe’s leading landowners.– Many of its leaders were powerful feudal overlords.
The clergy was involved with social work and took care of the poor and needy, and established hospitals.
Problems of the Church The church’s great wealth and influence
led to many problems. Interdict: Churches in an entire region
would be closed and no sacraments or ordinances performed.
People could buy high positions within the church hierarchy from a Lord (Simony).
In the 1200’s the church attempted to reform itself by seeking out Heretics (people who do not believe or live the doctrines of their faith).
The search for heretics is known as the Inquisition.– Those who confessed could be forgiven.– Those who did not confess were punished (ex.
burned at the stake).
