Feudal System

The feudal system was set up on a pyramid.Who was where?

Feudal System

King – ruled the kingdomLord – ruled the Manor

Was given the land for the Manor by the King – a FIEF – in exchange for military service and loyalty – HOMAGE

Created laws for the Manor and acted as judgeKnight – served in the army of the Lord

Fought on horseback Participated in jousting tournaments to prove worth

of Lord and to practice for warPeasant – worked and lived on the Manor

They has no rights and could be bought and sold with whatever land they were working and living on

They had to give the Lord a large part of their harvest to pay for the right to live on the Manor and enjoy its protections

Manors

Within each kingdom, there were manors. Manors were self-sufficient and acted as mini-

kingdoms within the kingdom. They were usually only a few square miles of land. Usually between 15 and 30 families lived on each

manor. Manor house, Church, workshops, Peasant cottages, a

millManors were headed by Lords. Lords were

served by Knights and Peasants.Turn to page 326!

Women in the Feudal System

The role of women was determined by the Roman Catholic Church (hereby referred to merely as The Church). Women were inferior to men & were to obey men

Women’s roles did, however, vary by social-status. Noble women were expected to pray and do domestic

chores such as sewing and embroidery Peasant women were expected to work in the fields, tend

the livestock and run the homeThere was an emphasis on extended families.

Large families with many children were the norm Most families lived close to each other and were multi-

generational

The Roman Catholic Church

The original Christian churchChristianity is based on the teachings of Jesus, a

Jew born in 0 A.D.Jesus preached forgiveness, mercy, love and

sympathy for the poor and helpless. He condemned the corruption and wealth of the Jewish

church Keep this in mind as we move through the Middle Ages and to

the Crusades. Jesus was crucified by the Romans for claiming to

be the son of God. After his death, his followers – APOSTLES – began to spread his message and as the religion spread through the Roman Empire, a formal church was established.

The Roman Catholic Church

The head of the Church is the Pope. The Pope is considered to be a successor to St. Peter,

who was the leader of the Apostles after the death of Jesus

The Church, like so many things , has a pyramid structure: The Pope Cardinals Bishops Priests, Monks & Nuns

Monks and Nuns live in monasteries, abbeys and convents where they spend their lives devoted to prayer

The Church

During the Middle Ages, the Church was the single most powerful organization Priests were considered nobles

People were very religious and believed that the Church had the power to send people to Heaven or Hell

People often left money and land to the Church in the hopes of buying their way to Heaven The Church became Europe’s largest landowner! Priests and bishops were some of the wealthiest people in Europe

All classes of people had to pay a tax to the Church – a TITHE (usually 10% of whatever you earned)

Religion in the Middle Ages

The Church

Kings and nobles relied heavily on the Church for money, loyalty, power and education.

Church officials were usually the only people who could read and write and so they could have great influence.

What kind of consequences do you think there are to the Church having so much

political influence?

The Church, ThinkersSt. Augustine, 354 A.D. – 430 A.D.

Lived through the fall of the Roman Empire.Philosopher and writer.Put a lot of emphasis on the idea of Original

Sin – all man has inherited the sin of Adam (taking the apple) and therefore has limited knowledge and limited power of will His thinking influenced Thomas Aquinas and

later, Martin Luther (Protestant Reformation)

The Church, ThinkersSt. Augustine, 354 A.D. – 430 A.D.

Wrote The City of God, in which he asked why God would let such a great empire fall. Rome was merely a city of the earth and

only the “City of God” in Heaven could last forever

Man must put faith in God because earthly understanding is limited.

The Church, ThinkersSt. Thomas Aquinas, 1225 A.D. – 1274 A.D.

800 years after AugustinePhilosopher and writerMost famous work is Summa Theologica,

which is a summary of Christian beliefs At the time, many thinkers and writers believed that

the teachings of Greek philosophers, like Aristotle, were of no value.

Aquinas said that Aristotle did have value and that reason should be trusted just as faith is.

The Church, ThinkersSt. Thomas Aquinas, 1225 A.D. – 1274

A.D.

Believed in “natural law.” Universal laws that are independent of any laws passed by

the government. These laws are based on reason. Reason says that we must do good to avoid evil. Use the natural laws to evaluate the laws of governments

(human laws) If a human law conflicts with a natural law, it is not law and

we do not have to obey.Believed that citizens have a right to remove a

ruler who enacts unjust laws.Believed that a ruler’s power came from God and

this power came through the people.
