The document describes the feudal pyramid of power structure during medieval Europe. At the top was the monarch who had power over the nobility. In exchange for land, the nobility provided loyalty, military service, and taxes to the monarch. Knights and vassals pledged similar loyalty and service to the nobility in exchange for fiefs of land. Peasants and serfs lived on the land and provided food and services to the knights and vassals in exchange for protection. Merchants, farmers, and craftsmen also occupied places in the feudal hierarchy.

- 12. Domesday Book • William I commissioned a census (or stocktake) of his ‘possessions’ so he knew how much he owned (so he could tax everyone!) • This is known as the ‘Domesday Book’. • Every acre of land, forest, person and livestock in 1086 is recorded in the book.
- 13. The Commoners• Then there was everyone else. • In the time of William I, the Knights and Lords were all Norman French. • With control of land came control of the Anglo-Saxons (English) who lived there.
- 14. The Church • The Catholic Church was very powerful in Medieval England. • The King may have been ruler of England but he feared the Church and the Pope. – The King allocated 25% of available land for Church use. – The King was considered to be on the throne because of ‘divine right’ – i.e. that God put him there. – If the King went against the wishes of the Pope, or the rules of Catholicism, he could be excommunicated.
- 15. Manor • Each manor included fortified manor house for the noble family, and a village for peasants, serfs. • Some people were ‘freemen’ who rented land from lord. • Others included landowning peasants, and skilled workers like blacksmiths, millers. • The Church provided a priest for the people’s spiritual needs.

Editor's Notes
- 1: As Monarch, the King was the top of the pyramid: he owned land. He could allocate land, and control of the people who lived on the land to: 2: the nobility. These were important families, believed to be of important birth OR having shown incredible loyalty to the King.

- Note that the serfs were provided with land, but did not own it. They paid ‘rent’. Also, they expected ‘protection’. Emphasise that in the beginning the Nobility and Vassals were mostly Norman French, and the peasants/serfs English. This formed the foundation for the levels of formality of our language (French-origin words are considered more elegant and formal; Anglo-Saxon origin words more conversational and informal) as well as British class structures which continue in Australia.
- It could be said that God and the Church were above the Monarch on the pyramid of power.
- Print this slide to create a poster for the classroom.
- What is the implication of the Church having control over 25% of the land. Explain what it means to be excommunicated.
- Point out the Mill, the Church, the fields and meadows.
