By using the word "affect", you presume that feudalism was something that was introducted to a pre-existing culture. However, it wasn't that clear.

First of all, "feudalism" was not a word used during the middle ages. It was a word coined in the 17th century to describe the obligations between nobles under the "ancien regiem" in France. The elements that are usually included in a description of feudalism include a series of reciprocal obligations between various members of society: lord and serf, knight and king, etc. For instance, a serf may owe his liege lord 3 days a week to farm the lord's land and in return, the lord owed the serf protection from bandits, a house and to pay the salary of the village priest.

It is probable that "feudalism" was not just introduced, but rather grew out of the old Roman system of patronage. In the areas of medieval Europe were feudalism is an accurate description of social organization, its "affect" was to stablize society.
