Feudalism

Feudalism

Feudalism was a closed economy based on agriculture. Landowners known as lords allowed tenants to farm on their land in return for various goods and services. There were two ways in which the land may be tenured. Free tenure allows a tenant called a vassal to farm the land of his lord of his own free will. The plot the vassal farms may be passed on to his descendants. MORE! [JG] {CI} {OH}
