Middle Ages Culture edit

“During the centuries when the different tribes were conquering and settling various parts of Europe there were no regular governments. There was no law and no means of keeping order. The king claimed all the land in his kingdom and kept large parts of it for himself; the rest of it divided among the followers who had fought with him to get it, on condition that they would help him defend the land in case of attack. These men, having more land than they could defend, divided up their land among other men, who in turn promised to be loyal to them and aid them in time of war.” [4]
