Politics in Medieval Europe
Created by the Welsh-Man
The political system used during the Medieval Age was strongly based on hierarchy and the power of the Western Church, ruled by the Pope, especially the Feudal System. Other systems of governments used during this period was manors, which helped develop manorialism, and adaptions and variations of these systems with others. However, during this period, manorialism and feudalism were the two major political systems used.
The feudal system was based on hierarchy, which was a dominant prevailing system of government during the majority of the Middle Ages. This system worked over land allocations to those of lower nobility or peasants. Land was given to vassals, by lords, in exchange for both loyalty, protection and work. The feudal system created a strong lord-peasant relationship with the peasants working with the lord's land given to him by the lord which could be a richer peasant or noble.
