historian definition of feudalism

Answers

Answered by NabasishGogoi

Feudalism is the dominant social system in medieval Europe, in which the nobility held lands from the Crown in exchange for military service, and vassals were in turn tenants of the nobles, while the peasants were obliged to live on their lord's land and give him homage, labor, and a share of the produce, notionally in exchange for military protection.

saprana: thanks but i want scholar's quotation

NabasishGogoi: well according to James, "In the last quarter of the eighteenth century bourgeois Europe needed to emancipate itself from that combination of feudalism and commercial capitalism which we know as mercantilism."

NabasishGogoi: hope that helps now.

saprana: yeah.
