Feudalism was introduced in England in 1066 following the Battle of Hastings and the Norman Conquest.
The Normans, led by William the Conqueror who was crowned King William I of England introduced Feudalism to England.
Feudalism was based on the exchange of land for military service.
William the Conqueror claimed all the land in England and divided the land between himself (about 20% ), the church (about 25%) and the remainder of English land was given to Norman soldiers and nobles (barons).
Under the Feudal system the vassals who were awarded land swore an Oath of Fealty (allegiance) to their lord and provided fully equipped soldiers.
