Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships that were derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour.
Peasants would farm on the knights land and get land to live on in return. the knights would protect the kings and nobles and for that, they would get land to live on and give to the serfs for them to live on.

TRIALS
TRIAL BY ORDEAL
EXAMPLES
TRIAL BY WATER
The accused was tossed in a body of water (lake or river) with a rock tied to them. If they floated, they were seen as guilty of being a witch a, but if the sunk, they were seen also seen as guilty because if God wanted them to live, he would make them float. (it was very rigged)
Trial by water was not fair and either way, the accused would end up dying.
TRIAL BY FIRE
The accused would hold a red hot piece of iron and if the would healed fast, they were seen as innocent because God was showing that they were innocent by healing them. if the burn didn't heal fast, they were seen as guilty
Trial by fire was not fair because it was rigged and almost anyone who got sentenced to trial by fire would be found guilty, even if innocent.
TRIAL BY COMBAT
