soldiers to help create an army
for the king
Feudalism
in Action!

sections to wealthy nobles
This land is called a fief
Wealthy nobles decide what to
do with that land
Wealthy nobles MUST obey the
king and give him soldiers for an
army
These nobles are called lords
Feudalism

food and soldiers
Serfs were people forced to
work on farms

land the king gives them

the king's lands
