| What caused feudalism to end? |
|
Definition
plague, towns, and kings
The bubonic plague killed many vassals and peasants. Lords really needed the peasants who were left, so they had to give in to the peasants' demands more often. Peasants and vassals gained power and lords lost power.
Towns were developing. Kings protected towns and towns paid kings for protection. Kings used the money to hire soldiers to force the lords to obey the kings. Kings and towns gained power and lords lost power.
For feudalism to continue, lords had to have significantly more power than their vassals and peasants. |
