== Europe ==
Feudalism in [[Europe]] was made up of a [[noble]] or [[lord]] who owned land that was given to him by a king. These lords lived in castles that usually had a moat and would rent their land out to [[vassals]]. Vassals were considered nobles but with less power. The vassals gave military service to the lord in order for protection and land. The vassals would rent their land out to peasants or [[serf]]s who farmed that land. The peasants or serfs were not slaves because they were free to leave if they wanted but they were tied to their land. If one lord sold the land to another the peasants would not move. The new lord would own the land. The peasants farmed and gave a parentage of their crop to the vassals for payment for their land. In return the vassals gave the peasants protection and land to work. The vassals would also give the lord a percentage of their wealth. In the feudalism system everyone wins but some win more than others.
Feudalism in [[Europe]] was made up of a [[noble]] or [[lord]] who acquired real property under the laws at that time. These lords were able to build castles, sometimes with a moat, which would serve as a defence against enemies. The lords would rent their land out to [[vassals]] who swore an oath of fealty to defend the land against common enemies. Vassals were considered nobles but with less power. [[Serfs]] were allowed onto the estate after swearing an oath of fealty to the lord in exchange for his service should it be required to help defend the estate. The serfs then could rent and farm the land to provide sustenance for thier families. The peasants or serfs were not slaves because they were free to leave if they wanted. If one lord sold the land to another the peasants would not move. The new lord would own the land. The peasants usually paid rent in a form of parentage of their crop. In return the vassals gave the peasants protection and land to work. The vassals would also give the lord a percentage of their wealth.
