Feudalism and Manorialism
How did religion support the feudal system?
The knights would swear fealty on the bible to their king. They also payed the priest. They also payed the lord, and pay taxes
A New Social Order: Feudalism
Was the distinction between serfs and slaves important?
In what way might a lord be a vassal?
How did feudalism compare to the Aryan caste system?
Because they were located in Scandinavia (Where Norway is now located.)
Which means they would have to travel across the sea to get to the enemies the quickest, instead of crossing the valleys, mountains, and plains just to get to them.
Because the king would have gave him land and a Vassal is someone who has inherited land from a lord.
Serfs gave up their freedom a moment for a benefits.
Both are systems of enherated social classes
Slave had their freedom taken from them by force.
How did the geography of the area affect how the vikings attacked?
Due to where they were, they had to travel via sea ordinary to attack quicker.
Manor
911, two former enemies faced off with each other in a peace ceremony. Rollo was the head of the Viking Army, they had been plundering the rich Seine River valley for years.
Because the Magyars were Nomadic, they didn't settle in one place.
When they would attack they would take prisoners with them, and because of that it made it hard for the enemy to get their soldiers back.
Why was it difficult for enemies to take back their troops?
Due to the geography, and also the Magyars being Nomads it made it hard for them to track them down.
Although in 1066, the Vikings came to an end
Manor was the lords estate
manor system was the basic economic arrangement in the middle ages
the lord provided the surfs with run down housing and protection in return the surfs took care of the land and animals
tithe
the peasants paid the priest a church tax witch was one tenth of there income
people had to pay tax on wedding and grain
a maner had 15 to 30 family's that tat ran a self sufficient village that they barely left
This is the reason why the Vikings made the long boat
Charle was the king of France bu help little power, he ranted the Viking leader a huge piece of French territory. it became known as Northmen's Land/Normandy.
In return Rollo swore loyalty to the king.
Feudal Pyramid
Structure of feudal society, was much like a pyramid. At the peak reigned the king, next came vassals(wealthy landowners, Knights were horsemen serving to lords lands in exchange for fiefs, at the bottom were landless peasants who worked in the fields
European Feudalism
Was a political system/institution which nobles were granted the use of land that legally belonged to the king. In return nobles agreed to give their loyalty and military services to the king.
It's the King on top, with nobles, knights, and vassals below him.
Before a lord could grant land he would have to make him a vassal at a ceremony, the ceremony bound the Lord & vassal in a contract.
Invasion
The Vikings liked to invade their enemies and pillage
Innovation
Vikings created the longboat for easier travel for when their enemy is across seas.
Cooperation
