3/4/13 What is the feudal system? The feudal system is giving land for service.

3/1/13

2/28/13 The feudal system is like America's current social hierarchy because here in America if you are richer than you have more free time because you have more money and you get to use it how ever you want. And in the feudal system if you are in a higher class than you get more free time because you don't have to work as hard as the lower classes.
