The Fall Of The Feudal System In Rome

Feudalism was the social system of right and duties. The rights and duties were mainly aimed towards the king and nobles. When the Nobles would pledge their life to the King everyone working under the nobles would also have to pledge their life These people consisted of Knights and Peasants. The Feudal system was the new order of society after the fall of the Roman Empire. It provided security in the absence of a ruling nation. It had helped keep order after the fall of the Roman empire and they lost the organized system of government. The Feudal System was the most efficient way in solving the lack of the organization of power in Europe after the Romans lost power.

After the Romans lost power in Europe, Europe was in chaos because of a lack

of organized government. the Europeans did not function nearly as well as they had when the Romans were in power there were now problems with trade, economy, and people who were in power. the trade was no longer successful for there was no guard protection and people were easily robbed. the economy dropped because they was no longer funding there from Rome. there were no designated people in charge which is what Europe was not used to after being ruled by the Romans. To end these problems the Europeans ended up creating the feudal system, which was based off of roman government ideas. The feudal system was made to make up for the loss of roman government and the European organized the new government in a way that was better by creating four classes in the feudal system it was the king, the nobles, knights, and peasants. The King would be in charge over all of the lower classes. Nobles owned large estates of land which were called fiefs. Fiefs consisted of a village or more and a castle for the noble. The knights would march of to battle on either the kings command or a nobles. The peasants tended to the fields and to the livestock and would make the food for meals
