Feudalism Inequalities
After the fall of the Roman Empire, Europe had forsaken its history of empires and republics,
immersing itself into a system built upon inequalities. Feudalism resulted in a consequential
hierarchy in which each level had a role that directly benefitted the entire society. Not only enforced
by the people, feudalism was enforced by their religion of Christianity; the Medieval Church

Feudalism, an order which had arisen from the urge for strength through possessions and status, had
been founded by the desires of those in power, who had taken advantage of the needs of the weak,
creating the system which had dominated Medieval Europe for centuries. Developing due to the
kings' inabilities to hold and protect their lands, there was no dominant political power or effective
central leadership within feudalism–no state or empire. Unlike the ancient civilizations of old,
political decisions and economics were controlled primarily by local leaders, who commanded
private military forces of their own power (Smith). The word feudalism originates from feudum, the
medieval Latin word for fief, or possession. Feudalism emerged in the middle of the 9th century,
peaking in the 12th and 13th centuries (King 25). The social hierarchy which rose in consequence of
the very being of feudalism was one in which those born within the Middle Ages were born into a
permanent position in society, unable to defy the fate which had been believed to be given to them,
as they believed they were undeserving of anything other than the life and status which God had
given them
