Feudal System
MinJu 8C
The feudal system is the way that King William lent the lands to people who helped him in the battle of hastings. He started using feudal system because England was too large for him to mange by himself, so he used a system of sharing out the land. He still onwned it, but he could lend large areas of land to people in return for their loyalty. Manor is where peasants pay their taxes, or a village, church, lord's house or castle, and the farmland upon which the people worked.. The peasants had requirements they had to fulfill in order to live there. This involved farming the lord's land and paying rents with food. They lived with animals in a house which is made of wattle (framework of sticks and twigs woven together), with daub (mud, animal dung, straw, polluted water) which made walls for the house.
