Middle Ages/Crusades

Manorialism can best be described as

• the process of how a nobleman's son in the middle ages could become a knight
• the political relationships between the king or queen, the nobility, and the peasants
• the economic ties between the nobles and the peasants who worked on their lands
• the land given to monasteries by different governments as a show of loyalty to the Church

The political order under feudalism was dependent upon the relationship between lords and their vassals.  The responsibility of the vassal included

• the promise to spread the Christian faith to their lands
• an oath of loyalty and a pledge of military service
• an agreement to keep lower classes under control
• the payment of taxes to the king or queen of the country

Feudalism is an example of

• a monarchy
• an industrial economy
• a local government
• a religious empire
