__Summary of manoralism and feudalism __ __﻿ __Manoralism and feudalism were the political, economic and even social systems of Western period in the period called Middle Ages. The Middle ages started with the fall of the Roman empire. Manoralism actually started in the Roman Empire. With this system, landlords were able to put peasants, or serfs, to work on the lands. In return, the serfs would give the lords some of the production of the land, and the lord would give protection. The serfs were not slaves though. They still had freedom, but were restricted to follow the lords' requirements. ﻿ Feudalism, was like a continuation of manoralism. However, it extended alll the way up of the social pyramid, reaching the king. The king would be absolute ruler of the land, would divide the land and give it to lords. The lords would appoint knights to protect a certain territory. The knights would be in charge of serfs working on the lands. And the serfs would be paying taxes to the king. All this structure would be based on loyalty to the king. DAY 3: Decline of Medieval society ﻿ ESPIRIT ON WESTERN EUROPE
