Feudalism

After the death of Charlemagne, his empire collapsed. Landowning nobles became more powerful, as peasants and farmers looked to them for protection. This resulted in a shift of power during the A.D. 800s from kings to nobles. This new order was feudalism. Feudalism is a political system based on bonds of loyalty between lords and vassals. Landowning nobles governed and provided protection to the people in return for services.
