Feudal system
|
|
Feudal systemA social structure that existed throughout much of Europe between 800 and 1400 and that revolved around a multi-level hierarchy between lords (who held land granted under tenure from the king), and their tenants (also called "vassals").Tenants would lease land from the lord in exchange for loyalty and goods or services, such as military assistance or money. In exchange, the tenant would be protected from attack.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Hierarchy
Ecclesiastical law. A hierarchy signified, originally, power of the priest; for in the beginning of societies, the priests were entrusted with all the power but, among the priests themselves, there were different degrees of power and authority, at the summit of which was the sovereign pontiff, and this was called the hierarchy. Now it signifies, not so much the power of the priests as the border of power.
Tenure
Estates. The manner in which lands or tenements are holden. 2. According to the English law, all lands are held mediately or immediately from the king, as lord paramount and supreme proprietor of all the lands in the kingdom.
Lease
A special kind of contract between a property owner and a person wanting temporary enjoyment and use of the property, in exchange for rent paid to the property owner. Where the property is land, a building, or parts of either, the property owner is called a landlord and the person that contracts to receive the temporary enjoyment and use is called a tenant.
Lord
In England, this is a title of honor. In the U. S. no such titles are allowed
Loyalty
That which adheres to the law, that which sustains an existing government.
Military
That which belongs or relates to the army.
Assistance
A French term, reflecting the civilian equivalent of salvage, based on the Roman law concept of negotiorum gestio (management of the business of another), whereby the "assistant" is remunerated for his efforts to save ship and cargo, regardless of whether or not those efforts are successful. In French internal law, "assistance", referring to salvage of a ship, cargo, and/or persons in peril at sea, is distinguished from "sauvetage".
Money
Gold, silver, and some other less precious metals, in the progress of civilization and commerce, have become the common standards of value; in order to avoid the delay and inconvenience of regulating their weight and quality whenever passed, the governments of the civilized world have caused them to be manufactured in certain portions, and marked with a Stamp which attests their value; this is called money.
Tenant
Estates. One who holds or possesses lands or tenements by any kind of title, either in fee, for life, for years, or at will
