Feudalism continued

Feudalism is a system in which ties of loyalty among a smaller group of people
living in a smaller area enabled them to survive in a hostile environment of constant warfare among warring kingdoms. Feudalism began around 700 AD, and was more well
developed in some areas of western Europe than others e.g. France had a well-developed Feudal society, Britain not as much.
