fuedal society? what does it mean??

Answer 1

Watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you'll understand.

Answer 2

It was a social and economic system of organization. Where serfs worked and were attached to the land. Feudal lords administered the land and collected a portion of the goods produced on the land. Typically 20%. The rest was left with the serf for his own use.

In return the Lord provided military protection and settle disputes between the serfs. Serfs were not permitted weapons and weren't required to actively participate in fighting.

As far as taxes the burden was less than today.

Answer 3

feudal society.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feudal_society

It is is a sometimes debated term used to describe the medieval social order of western and central Europe and sometimes Japan (particularly in the 14th to 16th centuries) characterised by the legal subjection of a large part of the peasantry to a hereditary landholding elite exercising administrative and judicial power on the basis of reciprocal private undertakings. The term's validity is questioned by many medieval historians who consider the description "feudal" appropriate only to the specifically voluntary and personal bonds of mutual protection, loyalty and support among members of the administrative, military or ecclesiastical elite, to the exclusion of involuntary obligations attached to tenure of "unfree" land. This stricter concept is discussed under Feudalism, and the bonds which it excludes under Manorialism. Examples of feudalism are helpful to fully understand feudalism and feudal society. Some useful particular examples may be seen at Feudalism (examples).

Answer 5

A feudal society is one in which the majority of people agree to work for one land owner, called a "Feudal Lord," in exchange for protection from that Lord (or king). In the middle ages, or medieval period, just such a system arose in Europe. Instead of concentrating power under the rule of one king many smaller kingdoms arose. This was especially evident in the Germanic area of Europe. These many Lords depended on vassals, or lesser lords, to serve them and swear an oath of allegiance. These lesser lords, also had even lesser lords swear allegiance to them. This continued on down the line until you reached the peasant class. These were people who owned no land and were thus without power. In fact, most were viewed as property. A Lord, gave a gift of a "fief" to his lesser lords, or vassals. A fief is an estate. The estate included lands, fortresses, and a supply of villagers to work the land. In exchange for this gift the vassal performed an "act of homage" where he promised to fight for the Lord and provide the Lord with knights, food, and, riches or spoils from battle. This is just an overview.
