Feudalism: Life in the Dark and Middle Ages

After the fall of the Roman Empire all of Europe was left in disarray. This time became known as the Dark and Middle Ages. From approximately 700- 1500 CE there was no consistent central ruling government. This resulted in the acceptance of the Feudal system as  a means of the way society functioned. Feudalism is based around the relationships of land owners and the concept of militaristic protection. Feudalism created a hierarchal society of kings, lords, knights, and serfs. Each person no matter what the title had a part to play in this society that became manor life. We are now going to travel back in time to the middle ages and live in a manorial community under the feudal system.
