The Feudal System


 Father Francois, you are my honoured guest. Please allow me to explain the Feudal System to you before you ask any questions of me. I am but a simple farmer. 

The King makes an agreement with a vassal (who makes an oath on the holy Scriptures/Bible) to give away land for his vassal to use in return for military service. The vassal can use the land for living and earning money by using peasants. Once he is rich, he can also become a lord by doing the same thing with other nobles. However the land still belongs to the King.
