THE START OF FEUDALISM
Feudalism started when the King of England, King Edward, die but sadly had no son to pass down the crown. So this is where the big problem happens. Harold the brother in law of King Edward thinks he the King of England but also at the same time William the duke of Normand and cousin of King Edward thinks he king. They fight and soon have a battle to see who gets the land. So William sent a letter to the pope to get all the knights and the pope accept its and does what he told. On the battle field Harold army is big. They have large sword,shield and a large army. On the other hand William's army was smaller than Harold. But what they had was horses and arrows (archery). In this battle 1000 people had die, sadly Harold was one because he got a arrow stuck in one of his eyes. This made William king of England and feudalism started.

This is how feudalism works for Europe. The Royal family gave land and power to the noble. From there The nobles gave back the oath of loyalty to the king. Also the nobles give the serf protection and homes. And finally in return for the noble the serf work and serve in the army for the noble. The table or chart you see below show how feudalism works.
