Feudalism was a type of social system that existed in parts of europe during the middle ages. essentially, there were several different classes within a feudal society. the king controlled all of the land in his jurisdiction. he divided this land among a few barons. the barons then divided up the land they were given and distributed it to knights. it was then split up again and distributed to serfs, who were the lowest members of feudal society. they were permitted to farm a small section of land, but they had to give a portion of their food to the knights in exchange for this privilege. they also had to give free labor to the knights who allowed them to use their land. serfs had very few rights; they weren't even allow to leave their land without permission from the knight who controlled the land. the system of feudalism ended when money began to be used as currency instead of land.
it can be concluded that
a. serfs were in a better position when the economy changed to a money-based one.
b. there were more knights in a typical feudal society than barons.
c. the knights did not have to do anything for the barons in exchange for land.
d. most feudal societies in europe were ruled by more than one king.
