Exploring Recording Techniques with Screencast-O-Matic

The video explores the feudal system, a dominant economic and political structure in Western Europe from 900 to 1300 CE. It arose after the fall of the Roman Empire, with kings granting land to nobles in exchange for loyalty and military support. Nobles, in turn, had vassals, including knights, to protect their lands. The system was based on land ownership, with lords having control over manors and serfs working the land. The decline of feudalism was due to factors like famine, disease, and the rise of a middle class, leading to the Renaissance.
