Feudalism provided security of the people of the Medieval Europe by working for nobles and knights to get protection in return. Also, “the peasants or serfs worked the land for the knights and nobles and in return they received protection and a portion of the harvest to feed to their families” (Doc. 1). This states that when serfs worked for nobles and knights, they

Document 1) A: The Feudalism provided protection and military services for their families. Nobles agreed to give their loyalty to the king.

In medieval Europe it was a dangerous and fearless time, as being a knight you weren’t the most outstanding class in the feudal system but you got well looked after.

The word knight got this name from the Old English word cniht. The Knight’s duty were very similar to the samurai's. They were hired to protect land and the people that owned the land. They also had a code like the samurai. This code stuck them to their duties and made sure that they kept their morals. Knights controlled land and the land was managed by the peasants of the kingdom. It was the peasants who mostly fought the battles instead of the knights. The knights led the peasants into the battle they fought.

At first knights and soldiers in the armies were of little social status. “Many knights in fact possessed little more than peasants” (Spielvogel 244). War was looked as kind of a barbaric act in the beginning and many knights could be found fighting each other. While some of this was tolerated, as they were seen as “defenders of society”, the Catholic Church decided that there should be some ground rules. At the start of the eleventh century, the church urged knights to take an oath to protect churches, and to not harm noncombatants. These rules allowed for battles to follow a civil path and to be carried out in a noble way.

Feudalism was a political, economic and social system that exchanged land and loyalty in return for protection. It was a commerce of protection and goods, as seen in the feudal system diagram, there are different types of social classes that have arrows describing what they are trading and to whom they are trading (Document 4). In the late ninth century, peasants gave food and service to the knights in exchange for protection. The knights gave military service in exchange for shelter and defense. The lords gave military aid while the king gives them fief and peasants etc.

Feudalism was a unique and efficient system. Farmers were in the lowest class socially but still contributed and were important to making feudalism function. The lords manors were extremely important to the structure of feudalism. Feudalism also allowed peoples needs to be met. This system allowed kingdoms to be controlled which made it so

Many people wonder what purpose knights in the Medieval period had during this famous time in history. Knights were the soldiers in the military and with the military, they helped the economy. Culture played a role in the way that knights fought in the military, as Chivalry was their code of conduct. With the knights helping both the military and the economy, they were able to help keep the political form of government, called feudalism, functioning. By providing protection to the kingdom, knights supported feudalism and kept it alive during the Middle Ages.

Feudalism was a medieval government system that a King offered Citizens fiefs or units of land for military service. This discouraged a unified government. Lords would divide their land into smaller sections. Then they would give these lands to lesser people then those people would divide their land to even lesser Knights. Next is the steps to becoming a Knight

The middle ages era is best labeled under “The Dark Ages” and “The Age of Feudalism”. In this time I believe that those labels work the best and are considered the most abundant that happened between 500 and 1400 in Europe. With all that happened then there is also a hand full of information to provide you with. “The dark ages” happened and scared the world. “The age of feudalism” changed our world later on giving us information to well control the world and not let it go into complete anarchy.

Knights were part of the biggest social system in medieval Europe, Feudalism. Knights were a key part in the feudal society, because they made up the whole military and they also gave Serfs an incentive to be part of a manor. There were many aspects of Feudalism, that made it run “smoothly” throughout the years. Feudalism allowed the military to function many reasons such as, the payment of their equipment. There are many attributes of feudalism that allow it to work, such as feudal oaths and ties, knights also contribute to feudalism by making up the military that protects the manor.

The goals that have a high priority in my life are the ones dealing with academics and my strategies for completing these two goals deal with my grades. I would need to receive mainly A’s and very few B’s, as well as taking the required coursework for my major. I would also like to get involved in campus organizations, which I have done by getting involved in both Enactus and Impact. To obtain a position on the executive board in Enactus, I will start out as an active member, move up to a project leader, and then become a board member. Along with academics, I would like to further myself in my career by having an internship and a part-time job. My strategy to find a part time job is to use the resources the career center provides, such as the
