The Feudal System


Father Francois, you are my honored guest. Please allow me to explain the feudal system to you before you ask any questions of me. I am but a simple farmer. The feudal system is when the king lends land to a noble and they swear an oath to pass the land over in return for support. The King then becomes the lord over the noble, who becomes a vassal. The vassal can also pass off the land to another person, which would make the vassal a lord, and the other a vassal, the land still belongs to the King though.
