Feudalism

SS 10 project!


The three key elements of Medieval society that we explored were the Catholic Church, feudalism and chivalry.  Feudalism was the dominant social system in medieval Europe.  Nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and serfs were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him their labor and a share of the produce in exchange for military protection. Talking about feudalism made me connect back to Social Studies 10 when we did a class game and individual projects to do with the feudal system.  Mrs. Bevington would've been the Crown, and then a few select students were nobels, and then the rest of us were serfs who had to work the land.
