<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"> **Ryan Rumley** <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif;"> <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">It all started when the vikings from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. They looted towns, so the towns had to defend themselves, so feudalism slowly developed.It was a way to keep even small towns safe.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Feudalism is a type of system where a king would give a pice of his land to a noble, then the noble would give part of it to a <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">knight in turn for his word to fight. Then the knight would give part of it to a peasant who could give part of it to another peasant. Someone who received the land would be called a vassal, and the person who gave it to him would be called a lord. All vassals would be true to any lord above them, even the king.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">It all started when the vikings from Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. They looted towns, so the towns had to find a way to defend themselves. Eventually They came up with feudalism

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;"> Kings <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">kings have the job of controlling all the land, and have full power of it. They are the people who can stay at home all day. They have the most money from collections. They are usually popular and well known. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Obama Is a good example of a king, because he controls all of the Untied States. He controls all of the United States. HE is also one of the most prosperous people. e is a very famous person.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;">Nobles <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Nobles were the second man in command. They were the second in line to receive the land. They have to pay the most taxes, but they receive the second most money. They have to be loyal to the king and him only. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The Governor of California is a good example because he controls allot of land, such as California, but he doesn't control the United States, Just a state.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;">Knights <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Knight were the middle of the pyramid because they weren't the lowest, or the highest on the scale. They only ran a part of a pice of land that would have a city in it. They collected some taxes, but had to pay a little less. He has to be loyal to the Noble and the King. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Today they are like our mayors, because they don't have the most control, but they have some power. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">They control a city or town in our government. The mayor of loveland is an example of how he can control a part of the government, while he doesn't do much.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;">Peasant

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">The lowest part of the feudalism. They are normal people. They have to pay few taxes, but they receive money from the crops or goods they make/sell. They are not extremely poor, but they are not prosperous. they would have to be loyal to the king, the noble, and the knight.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Today they would be considered people like you and I. We have to follow our Governments rules, but they can't Force us to fight in the Military.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Clergy <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">clergy is the people who run the church, and arguably the most powerful group because they could x communicate a someone, or ban someone unless they do something that the church approves.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">Today, they are like the priests of our churches because they run their church, But they don't have much power. Today they can't x communicate someone or force our government otherwise. <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 180%;">Vassal

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">A vassal is someone that lives on land and does not move with their king, but stays with the land.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">A present day vassal would be a dependent type person, that would not leave their land or home. They would fight for their land or house.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 23px;">Fief <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #030303; font-family: Georgia,serif;">A fief is a piece of land that comes with a group of vassals and their homes. It would pay off to have a Fief in little time due to the work, land, and crops.

Reflection

Feudalism is still continued in the United States by our president and our government. The president runs the land, but he gives it to the governor, and then the governor gives it to a mayor. Lastly the Mayor then lets us live on the land for our taxes. then some of the taxes collected go to the Governor, then some of the taxes goes to the King from every state and city.
